Why use Technology in teaching?
Five years ago, the question on my mind was, “Why use technology in the classroom?”
One thing that surprised me was the number of positive comment made about technology use in the classroom.
I really love incorporating technology in teaching my subject because it makes my students excited about what they are about to learn! It might be challenging to do so, at times but all the effort is worth it when you see how effective it is.

Whenever our English teacher uses technology like Facebook and such to teach us, I can see that all of us enjoys the lessons and activities because we also get to experience what it is like to learn English with technology.

As a future English teacher, I think technology would be very helpful in teaching English in a way that it will make the classroom more interactive especially because our future students are digital natives. There are various online and offline applications that would help the students to not only learn the target language-- which is English--but to perform the language as well. Such technologies would help us, future teachers to get the attention and interests of our students thus, learning becomes more fun!
