INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING WRITING: ADVANTAGES

     

         Teachers nowadays need to integrate the use of technology in their teaching. This is because students need to gain the skills that they will need to be marketable in the future workplace and to operate in a high-tech world. Technology can be defined as the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. In my opinion, there are several advantages of integrating technology in teaching writing.

       

       Firstly, in my opinion technology improves the quality of students work as the students take control of the rate of their learning. Students can learn anywhere and how they wanted it to be. This will give them ample time to improve themselves. Furthermore, there are some peoples who cannot doing very well in public but when they are on their own they will be more creative.

       Secondly, technology also can improve students’ attitudes towards learning. Using technology as a tool makes the classroom more interesting and motivating. Teachers can catch students’ interest and attention by using different kind of texts, graphics, videos and pictures.

     

       Thirdly, in my opinion, technology promotes individualized and independent learning as students are able to look up for information anytime they want. Students can also build their self confidence and avoid major embarrassment. Students are afraid to speak up their ideas in class as they afraid to in public.

      To conclude, integrating technology in teaching writing has many advantages. Teachers should improve themselves in using technology to teach students for preparing them to the high-tech world.
