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

In this way, it builds upon, expresses, and improves so much of what has been. The digital school has a revolutionary feature; The Wireless access, the small group of classmates and the demonstrations, from anywhere. As a result, the once rigid distinction between activities appropriate to class (watch, share, talk, construct) and those called homework (read and write, practice and prepare) has become purposefully blurred.
