This article discussed the rapid changes of technology,school boards, administrators, and teachers need to change their technology policies almost as rapidly, other electronic features that seemed inappropriate for the classroom are proving great tools for the educational goals. "We've got a different generation of students--like it or not," says Ann Flynn, director of education technology for the National School Boards Association. "Look at what kids are doing in their real life and how much schools differ from that." this mean there is a real gap.Technology changes also create great opportunity to engage students, to reinforce advanced concepts. The article shows how some teachers in california overcome this challenges .They creat new technology program : iREAD (I Record Education Audio Digitally).
this Project iREAD uses iPods, to increase reading fluency and speaking in the second language learning. In iREAD, students were able to locate their mistakes in fluency when They play back the audio ,which increase their accuracy level dramaticly.the writer of this article is
Pamela Martineau a freelance writer and teacher.The study also focused on some of the potential that new media have for teachers,but this experience needs to be done widly with biger samples quantatitivly to confirm its relaibilty .although it is usfull now as creative ideas adressed to the teachers.As ateacher of second language this study gave me many good ideas to use in my class; and also found some ideas that I already used; and I saw great improvement in using it.
