6. Thinkaboutthesequestions: When you were at school... ...did you have a mobile phone? ... did you have a notebook? ...did you have an iPod, mp4 player, iPad? … were any of them connected to the internet? SlideadaptedfromJosé Picardo´s http://www.slideshare.net/boxoftricks/teaching-and-learning-with-new-and-emerging-technologies
7. Our students have changed radically. Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach. .. It is now clear that as a result of this ubiquitous environment [technology] and the sheer volume of their interaction with it, today´s students think and process information fundamentally differently from their predecessors. It´s very serious, because the single biggest problem facing Education today is that our Digital Immigrant instructors, who speak an outdated language (that of the pre-digital age), are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language. Today´s teachers have to learn to communicate in the language and style of their students. “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants” by Marc Prensky http://www.marcprensky.com/writing/Prensky%20-%20Digital%20Natives,%20Digital%20Immigrants%20-%20Part1.pdf TODAY´S STUDENTS
8. Are weteaching in thesamewaywehavealways done? Can wecontinueteaching in thesameway as weweretaughteventhoughmanychangeshaveoccured? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_A-ZVCjfWf8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEFKfXiCbLw
9. SO … Shouldn´t we then Rethink Teaching and Learning in the 21st Century…? …even if you are the most engaging old-style teacher in the world, you are not going to capture most of our students’ attention the old way. “Their short attention spans,” as one professor put it, “are [only] for the old ways of learning.” They certainly don’t have short attention spans for their games, movies, music, or Internet surfing. More and more, they just don’t tolerate the old ways—and they are enraged we are not doingbetterbythem. So we have to find how to present our curricula in ways that engage our students— not just to create new “lesson Plans”, not even just to put the curriculum online. http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/erm0553.pdf “Engage me orEnrage me.

14. Our personal use of ICT. A Survey Fromthefollowingapplicationswhichone/s do you …. How would you describe your skills as a computer user? beginner/intermediate/advanced/expert How often do you use a computer? What do you usually use it for? How often do you use the Internet? a) everyday b) 3 or 4 times a week c) once a week d) notveryoften e) never Whatpages do youvisit? Publications / Dictionaries/ pagestoteachlanguages
15. Our personal use of ICT. A Survey Have you got a blog, a facebook or twitter account? How often do you check your email? Have you ever used a platform like WebCT, Moodle or similar? Do you think using the internet may be useful to teach and learn a second language: Spanish, English, etc.? Istechnology in languageteaching a necessityor a luxury?

33. USO /INTEGRACIÓN de las TICs en el aula de idiomas - En el aprendizaje de lenguas asistido por ordenador a menudo se confunden dos términos cuando hablamos de las TIC: uso e integración - Se trata de INTEGRAR y no sólo de USAR las nuevas tecnologías de manera aleatoria. - “No es lo mismo aprovechar unos minutos que nos sobran de clase haciendo una actividad en Internet que es concebida como un «pasatiempo» que plantear una actividad perfectamente integrada en la programación didáctica … las tareas que se desarrollan en el ordenador no pueden considerarse un complemento [...] al currículum, sino […] una parte integrante de éste” DOMÍNGUEZ MIGUELA, ANTONIA Y MIRIAM FERNÁNDEZ SANTIAGO (2006).

37. Toknow more about Web1.0 &Web 2.0 and languagelearning and teaching, check Video 1 Whatis Web 2.0 and howisitchanginghowteachers and learnes use WorldWide Web? Video 2 Web 2.0 & LanguageLearning
38. WEB 3.0 More precise data Refined and more meaningful searches Mobile access to internet data WEB 2.0 Dynamicwebpages Interaction Social networks (facebook) Collaboration (wikis, blogs) Subscriptions, labels Microblogging (twitter) WEB 1.0 Staticwebpages No interactivity/limitedinteractivity Informationgathering (Consumers) WHERE WE ARE!
39. TheFuture Web 3.0 provides a better efficient searching of the web using the semantics of the content in the pages. That means the search engines work not with the keywords we use to search, but with the meaning of the search query we gave. So the main and most important feature of Web 3.0 is Semantic Web. I think you have got a rough idea about what I am talking about. It will be clearer if you see the example below. Imagine I am going to Texas. And I want to know about the hotels, tourists spots etc there. In the present condition if I search the term ‘I am going to Texas’, I get the results page showing the websites containing the keywords I searched, but not useful for me. But in Semantic Web the search engine understands the semantics, that is the meaning of the search query and give results based on the semantics of the query. I think that might be more useful for me.
40. What does web 2.0 have to offer teachers? There are a number of ways web 2.0 have enhanced the learning potential of the web. Web 2.0 enables: • Socialisation- Through socialisation our students can use the language and skills they are learning to build networks and develop relationships with real people. • Collaboration - They can work together with others to construct and share real knowledge. • Creativity - They can create genuine products, in a wide range and combination of media to high standards, that will have a real audience. • Authenticity - The tasks and activities they do and the people they communicate with to do them are real and motivating. • Sharing - They can share what they create and learn from each other.

41. How do I integrate ICT in my classes? How do I do it? Whichtools do I use and how? Web 2.0? Web 1.0? what´sthat?
42. As teachers, what do weneedtofacethis new challengethatisalreadyhere? Problemsencounteredby TEACHERS *Teachers ´ lack of ICT competence. *Strongneed of training. *Time consuming in preparation and implementation Training onwhichtoolsto use and howto use them (methodology) Teacher Training Centers (CEPs)
