Historical Development of Technology Integration

-
Hello everyone! This post is about the historical development of computer-assisted language learning(CALL). Let’s see this development briefly:

  • In the 1960s and 1970s, CALL consisted of drill-and-practice programs with the impact of behaviorist views.
  • 1980s referred to learner interaction and programs mainly required communicative use of language.
  • In early 1990s, the computer was stimulus and learners became active in learning process.
  • Today, one of the major points is impoving students’ skills by integrating technology to enhance learning.
In the timeline, I’ve showed some major points of technology development.

In general, our project includes 4 main steps: 1. Describing the problem 2. Sharing causes and effects on the problem 3. Sharing some public opinion on the problem 4. Offering solutions to solve the problem Taken from here . I was responsible for the 3rd step. For this, I prepared a survey to present whether people are aware of this problem that animals become extinct or not. As a group, we collected data. Then, I analyzed results and showed them as charts. Personally, I haven’t heard padlet before this course. Then, I’ve learned that padlet is an easy tool to use and to reach the information.
