THE IMPORTANCE OF USING WEB PAGE INSIDE THE CLASSROOM

For the english teaching, the web page is a nexus between student and technological world, because this pedagogical tools motivates to the students to learn new topics, now that,   they 

almost daily are in contact with technology.

Other reason is because this kind of technology combine texts, graphics, sounds, photographs, animations and videos, that allow transmit the knowledge in a natural, attractive and dynamic way. Is for this reason that, is necessary to implement web page tool inside the classroom.

WEB PAGE IS A ENJOYABLE TOOL TO TEACH ENGLISH

If I want to teach any topic in english, I can use this interesting tools “web page” to evaluate to the students. For example, in the first academic period, I am going to explain differents topics such as: the alphabet, colors, fruits, animals, etc, when I finish to explain the themes to the learners; to complement all topics, each student must make a web page in where explain one topic, for after, to present this task to the classmates.

THE IMPORTANCE OF USING TECHNOLOGY IN THE CLASSROOM

There are many benefits of using technology in the classroom, especially as students become increasingly digitally literate. The shift in worldwide computer usage and the need for computer usage and the need for computer skills in today's workforce have pushed the United States government to create guidelines, such as the Core Curriculum Content Standards, for educators to ensure that students are prepared to meet the demands of the 21st century. 

Technology use is particularly important in STEM fields. STEM is an acronym for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The term is typically used in education policy with a focus on improving the United States' competitiveness in technology development. Technology use in STEM has implications for workforce development, national security concerns, and immigration policy. Because of this, maintaining a citizenry that is well versed in the STEM fields is therefore a key element of the United States' public-education agenda.
