A brief, 15 minute presentation that accompanied a talk I did, on using technology in the classroom, in Astana in September 2013 at an annual conference for English teachers.
8. • There are many types of technologies that we can use to
increase communication.
• Most of our students live in a world where almost
everything is connected to technology.
• To take students out of their “connected world” creates an
unnatural separation of “real life” and the classroom.
• When teaching languages we need to show them that
languages are created to be used in real life. We need
to help them make the connection between the
classroom and real life.

whole class, if using an
interactive
whiteboard, or in
groups if you have
more than one
computer in the class
