Technology in Language Education for Teachers

“There can be infinite uses of the computer and of new age technology, but if teachers themselves are not able to bring it into the classroom and make it work, then it fails.” – Nancy Kassebaum “Teaching in the Internet age means we must teach tomorrow’s skills today.” – Jennifer Fleming “It is important to remember that educational software, like textbooks, is only one tool in the learning process. Neither can be a substitute for well-trained teachers, leadership, and parental involvement.” – Keith Krueger “Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is most important.” – Bill Gates “Any teacher that can be replaced with a computer, deserves to be.” – David Thornburg Teachers need to integrate technology seamlessly into the curriculum instead of viewing it as an add-on, an afterthought, or an event. – Heidi-Hayes Jacobs “We need technology in every classroom and in every student and teacher’s hand, because it is the pen and paper of our time, and it is the lens through which we experience much of our world.” – David Warlick
