you teach in a traditional way. It has created a completely new
environment. It opens doors to opportunities.
The 21st century calls on students to be multi-lingual and
multi-cultural. Students need to work in teams, find information,
communicate it, and solve problems with it. Its a great world for
learning!
47. We no longer need to be experts (geeks) to incorporate
technology in our classroom.
48. Our classrooms
may have limited autonomy and resources, but their possibilities
are unlimited. We can:
instill curiosity
engage and excite learners
create opportunities for learning
49. Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting students working
together and motivating them, the teacher is the most
important.

50. Imagination is more important than knowledge.Knowledge is
limited. Imagination encircles the world.
Albert Einstein
51. No excuses:
Idont know enough about technology
If you can use e-mail, save a Word document and open a Facebook
account, you can handle most Web 2.0 tools.
I dont have time
Start with one tool. Work with it for one month or even two. Then
start with another.
Im too busy
These tools will save you time.
But Im too old
Ha-Ha!
52. Thank you!
