The
following is a list of suggestions to help you avoid getting bogged down
in technology.
•Have specific and meaningful objectives
•Remember, the main focus is language acquisition
Vary computer activities
• Demonstrate all software
•Provide additional resources for independent learners
•Give students adequate time for practice
•Teach technical information on a need-to-know basis
•Choose appropriate level of challenge, or allow students to self-select
•Don't let technology become a barrier to learning.
•If the program crashes, try to salvage the language learning, i.e.,
use of WH questions, What is wrong with the computer, Who knows how to
fix the font, Where is the lab assistant, When can we get back online,
Why isn't this working?
