SUMMARY
CHAPTER 3 USING WEBSITE

Using website is one of the easiest and least stressful ways of getting started with technology in the classroom. Teachers can use web pages in the classroom in variety ways:
o As printed pages with no computer
o With one computer with an internet connection
o In a computer lab with a set of networked and connected computers
It is important for both teachers and learners see the use of the internet as an intrinsic part of learning process rather than an occasional activity which has nothing to do with their regular study programme. Teacher need to talk to your learners a bout why internet content maybe useful to them and discuss their attitude to technology in general.
Finding useful website is very important and to make searches targeted and efficient we can use search engines, subject guides and real language search. After finding useful website then teachers need to evaluate ho useful and appropriate they are for the classroom. Teachers need to see the accuracy, currency, content and function. The next steps are making a plan for your lessons. First teachers need to visit the websites you intend to use and make sure you know your way around them properly. And make a note of the particular ages you want your learners to work on
Sometimes there are learners with no ability in using internet, so teachers need choose the right website, websites with simple, non linguistic data, visuals, ELT websites where the content has been written, edited, and prepared with this audience in mind.
As teacher we need to prepare well and do approach to the way you use websites in the classroom should give you the confidence to try out different ways of introducing your learners to internet content.
