let´s use technology to motivate our students..



In this document I will talk about how can the technologies help or not the students to learn in a different way, for some of them maybe a little bit funnier and that could help the teachers to make the students feel comfortable with the class and enjoy it.

Why in a different way?
Because we are accustomed to having the classes in the same way all the time, and it could be tired or boring some time, but what happen if we change just sometimes the way we teach…
Now that we have many technological advances we can use the computer to teach if not all, the most of the topics, there is a lot of learning platforms and blog and also a social networks that we can use in order to teach, for instance we have the possibility to help the students learn with something that they are getting used to use all the time, the computer and electronic devices.. and now that all the students use social networks we can use it for an educational proposes, for example we can let the students make a discussion on Facebook in that way they are going to feel free to comment whatever they think is correct and they are going to feel comfortable using it, but the most important thing is that they are going to LEARN by using technologies.

Using technology in this kind of activities the students are going to develop their
- Cognitive skills
- Reading-comprehension
- Critical thinking skills
