Integrating technology in ESL writing

Technology are so useful and it make human's life, including teachers and students, easier and more convenient. I couldn't agree more with the slides of my group presented. This is because using technology really do have the pros and benefits in teaching and learning nowadays.
As what we presented in our slides, it is convenient enough for teachers to have prepared their own teaching slides before class started. During class, teacher can just show them what are students going to learn on that day. This is good because not only teachers could saved the times from writing all the things she wanted to teach on the board. Besides that, students that are shy could post their comment and share their ideas or thoughts without having to stand up in front of the whole class. Teachers too can then immediately give response to what their students shared in their comments and also discuss the mistakes students have made so that students can do the corrections on the spot. To add in another point, after sharing out their thoughts so many times,shy students will be encouraged to give more opinions and ideas in front of other students more comfortably.Thirdly, integrating technology not only can help both students and teachers think out of the box and sharpen their creative skill., but it is also a way to make sure they are not left out from the latest issues of technology.
In conclusion, integrating technology in ESL writing is not a bad idea. We as future english teachers, should include new tools as they are easy to access free to use.
