📍Welcome to ICT Blog
Congratulations on your treasure discovery (My blog😜) ! In the next couple of weeks I will share with you a lot of information and communication technologies (ICT) that may be helpful to you in teaching English.If you can't wait to learn more about ICT, whether you are a novice English teacher or an experienced English teacher, you can discover the new possibilities created by technology in the following blogs:
📍Be cautious
However, as you read these blogs, please keep in mind that there is no one-size-fits-all technology in TESOL. If you feel that a certain tool is perfect, you are likely to have fallen into a marketing trap! Nik's Learning Technology Blog could be an example, you can access it here.
As you can see, this blog is made up of black and white, with a concise but somewhat boring layout. It contains images, videos, navigation and many links directly to their products, such as apps, digital tools, eBooks and lesson plans. While the benefits of these resources may be real, as presented in the blog, the blogger hides some information that may prevent you from downloading them:
- They are not free！
- They may deskill you！
- They may not be suitable for your context！
Such a blog is essentially an advertisement, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Honestly, there is no shame in making money by blogging (I also want to 👻). But as a potential consumer, whether it is worth the cost to you is a question. In my blog, I promise you that the presentation on technology will be as detailed and critical as possible for you to refer to its value to your teaching.
