Future lighthouses

lmagine our schools in the future!                                                                                             Some people claim that there will be no schools in the future. Students will learn in virtual schools while sitting at home. There will be no teachers as the computer and the internet will play the role of teachers. Teachers could only design the programs that help the students to learn. The tests will be interactive. That means that the students will do their tests on the computer and get their score immediately. The libraries will also disappear as the text books in their form now a days won’t exist. All the books in the different areas of knowledge will be stored on computers and published on the internet. The libraries will look like lighthouses or submarine.   In my opinion I think that may happen and be successful for the old students but still we will need schools for the young childroen to help them to acquire thabilities of using the modern technology in learning. Do you agree with me or no?

How can we make learning a pleasure?

There are many ways that make our activities fun:

The above ideas that we mention can be more effective if we use the computer, the internet and the other modern media.

* Creating humorous situations for role – plays and dialogues.

* Using games and competitions.

The above ways that we mention can be more effective if we use the computer , the internet and all the modern means of technology.

Motivation

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

Motivation means creating the learner’s desire to learn. Teachers can motivate their students by many ways. Here are some ideas that can help teachers to motivate their students.

* Teachers should create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in the class.
