I’m going to start with this question who doesn’t have an intelligent cellphone nowadays?

Well, interesting question in this time is very uncommon don’t know a person who doesn’t have an intelligent cellphone because in the younger life is necessary as well in the adult life because it’s a big tool. As a teacher is important to include a cellphone because, we know it is a good material and makes our life very easy. I read the article and I think this is a good tool to improve our lessons because we are in contact with them. We can use the recording to make good interviews or to practice their speaking as well, also search for an app to practice our grammar or vocabulary. Students can carry on books in the cellphone memory to improve their lecture habit.

Other think, and I think this the most important is using the social networks who doesn’t have Facebook in this days. Using social networks we can practice with discussions and so on.

As a conclusion, the mobiles are very important in our life’s as a teacher and as a student too, because we can perfectly made our homework’s and assignees in an easy way.

This article is about how improve the writing and reading skills.

This is very important because improve it is very hard for students, for them develop this skills, because most of them are kind of bored because of that this article is very helpful for teachers.

As we know writing is difficult too many students because they do not can organized their ideas also, the method to teach this is not appropriated. Teachers are very bored using their knowledge they do not include more information that they know and their classes are very bored. It’s hard for learners learn in this way because they spend two hour of class sit down at their desk, and that its very uncomfortable for the. The worst part of this is how the teacher teaches or how they do their lessons because they do not care about how the student feels. I think for these skills teachers have to be more dynamic because of the time and because these skills are very difficult to teach. For that I think this article help us because with the reading skill is the same, but in this case we can include more thinks or we can planning better using more dynamics or something like that.  The internet, technology is a good tool in this skills because we can practice more with it, we can find a lot of apps for made a good classes and the behavior of the students will be better.
