The document discusses using technology to strengthen students' language skills. It begins with an activity asking participants whether technology should be integrated into the curriculum or viewed as supplemental. The presenter then outlines an agenda covering objectives, research on technology in language learning, and websites to develop listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary skills. Participants fill out a K-W-L-S chart to track what they know, want to know, learn and still need to find out. The presentation concludes with reflections on using technology to support language lessons and help develop students' skills.
This presentation explores some of the issues and problems in the use of technology in teaching English and language arts, as well as strategies to make the use of technology in the classroom more effective.
