Language teachers in a Computer Lab (PART 2)

As I said in my previous entry, Computer Labs is the future in language classes, the old fashioned book is going to be soon replace by computers, in fact, the best schools provide their student with a computer in the regular classes, this act, open the class to the world wide web, so that student can get more information about the thing the teacher is explaining, in the same moment.

Another aspect I would like to attach strong attention is that the computer can never substitute the teacher, there is only one teacher. The computer can perfectly swap the book but the teacher is the fixed and necessary element in every class, no matter the branch of study.

Before the start of the use of the computer with education purposes, teacher should use 1 or 2 classes to drill the student about the proper use of the computer, and how to fix problems. This 2 classes will be recovered as the class flows better during the semester.

In general, a teacher of nowadays cannot feel out of place in a computer lab, it is easy to handle and mainly, students needs the computers to develop their skills more quickly and better.
