Learned how to create links. Easy link to resource for course. Intro to Tech

Introduction to Technology This is a new project on technology, supported on a wiki, aimed at upper-intermediate to advanced students of English as a second language since English is considered a tool to approach some technology-related concepts and situations. In case you have never heard about or browsed a wiki, here goes a short definition I gave my students:"A wiki is a collection of [|__web pages__]  designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified [|__language__] . Wikis are often used to create [|__collaborative__] [|__websites__]  and to power community websites. For example, the collaborative encyclopedia [|__Wikipedia__]  is one of the best known wikis.” [|__To learn more about wikis click here.__] The formats presented are very innovative and varied: podcasts, youtube videos, discussion forums and more but through very user-friendly activities, therefore requiring minimum knowledge on these applications. You may try some from our tag cloud: Reading and Listening comprehension are the star skills developed throughout the lesson plans, as well as speaking, whenever a face-to-face debate is suggested. An enhanced comprehension of technology-related vocabulary will definitely result from the activities. Furthermore, an introduction to direct translation is also approached, with a comparative analysis of different translation methods.
