Technology in schools

Actually, there is a tendency to think that it is very hard and difficult to learn English but exist a variety of strategies for using technology to improve the language ability and content knowledge of English learners, a fast-growing student population with diverse needs.


Internet gives the oportunity to conect people in the world and for this reason born the aplication called Voki, an avatar that allows students to hear words they've typed repeated back to them slowly, as well as to record audio of themselves. English learners can design their own avatar characters that resemble individual students and use them for dialogues and practice lessons. The program also offers 160 lesson plans at varying levels of difficulty.


Other resourcs, which kennedy and Soifer examined was HELP Math.
This method is good for students because they improuve their abilities in other subjects, in this case, Maths, while they are use interactive audio, visual, and text options.
