2. The use of netbooks, notebooks and
specific software of prosumption makes it
necessary for teachers to apply Icts
effectively when dealing with students ‘
activites both in the classroom and at
home.
Previous cognitive schemata and
procedures restructure themselves to
give way to new learning ,enhanced by
the management of Icts.

3. Process
Students have learned the specific vocabulary and grammar
of the course they are attending while getting to manage the
basic procedures in Icts. They have worked on an adapted
sequence on the topic Family relations.
They have analyzed a template, done interactive
crosswords, seen a short video, done an interactive multiple
choice ppt test , created a flash family tree, recorded and
videoed the tree family they wrote about, designed posters
, taken photos and videoed one of the classes in the lab.
Many students have worked a lot , some have contributed
with photos and videos , some have worked at home and in
class but most of them have shared and liked the experience.
Still, there is a lot to be done.

12. Despite the fact that the students have not received the netbooks
yet, thanks to the courses provided by APPI , Conectar
Igualdad andEduc-ar , we are dealing quite well considering
that the schools do not have so many computers in the lab, that
some are outdated , most of the software is provided by teachers
and that few students who are not willing to work in English
or in technology affect their peers’ learning somehow.
