USING WEBSITES

Using websites is one of the easiest and the least stressful ways of getting started with technology in the classroom. There is a large and constanly expanding collection of resources on the web. The web is a source of content which can be used asa window on the wider world outside our class, and is a readily available collection of authentic material. The technology needed to use the internet for teaching is relatively limited and the chances of something going wrong are greatly reduced over morecomplex technology approaches such as attempting to carry out live chat or video conferencing sessions. Another advantages of this tool is taht our don't necessarily have to rely on a constant Internet connection if you bear in mind that it is possible to save local copies of websites on your computer, or print out potentially useful pages for later use.
