Pay attention! (Using Techology in Your Teaching)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEFKfXiCbLw&feature=related


I watched the "Pay attention!" Video.
It really made me pay attention about the subject.

I totally agree with the opinions on video.
The students in nowadays are  digital generation.
They are very used to use computers and mordern technologies.
I have 6 year old neice who can handle all technologies.
Nobody taught her how to use computers, internet and cell phones but sometims she made me surprised. I didn't know my cell phone had such a many kinds of functions before she found and let me know them.

However in the reality in school is quite different that chileren expected.
The teacher teach this digital generation using old methods so the students feel boring and tired.
Before we scold them and blame them, we have to think about  what we have to change.

We have to find out to make them being interested in school works and studying.
If we try to find the way, there will be a way.
Using technology can be an effective way for grasping our students' interest.
If we have difficulties to find the good way of using techonolgy, we can ask our students what the good way  is. Maybe they have better idea than teachers.

As the video suggested, we can use our cell phone text messages for our writing class of second laguage. That would be a creative way for both of us;students and teachers.

After I watched this video, I really want to find a creative way for teaching language using technology. I think I have to make an effort to seach and collect the materials about this issue. 

Let's make the students think language learning  is interesting! 
If I can make that, I will use the technology even though I have to spend more time to do this!
