Internet tools
Well, the use of internet tools is now a basic every-day use since is the easiest way to get information and the most interactive way to work either in groups or individually. I like to use the internet in most of my asignments when i understand what i'm doing, and that means that when i get frustrated or angry with the tools, i simply just don't work on them. For example; the use of the blog might not put me in that position, but i find it consuming a lot of my time, and since is not that interactive because we don't get feedback out of it, it can be a little boring for some of us that don't enjoy writting so much. Anyways, I still find it useful and practical for it doesn't waste any paper or effort in handwriting, like a journal would. Another good thing about internet tools is how practical it can be. In a research assignment, the students can look for any information they need just by going through a quick browse, and looking for information in English will give them a much more wide range of vocabulary too. As I mentioned before, regarding the ones that don't have the habit of writing, this tipe of asignments can also improve those skills, and that can be the greatest reward about the usage of these tools.
Luis,
ResponderEliminarFeedback is giving by commenting and debating ideas. The use of a blog is not meant to evaluate writing. It aims to enable users to debate and reflect upon different issues proposed. In an EFL context, writers must develop their own responsability for writing well for some others will be reading their compositions.
Blogs are a great tool to share ideas and give feedback among users.
Hi luis! I agree with you when you say that internet is the eaiest way to get information when we have homework. I use the internet most of the time. And that`s true that when we look for info on the internet we get new vocabulary! It helps me a lot.
