INTERNET TOOLS

I think using internet tools when teaching English is really important because nowadays, internet has become really necessary in the different fields of our lives, and education is not the exception. Internet has to become a necessary source for English teachers because we can find a lot of activities that can help students understand or develop the different skills used in English. For example: when I am using internet, two hours or three seem to be just one because I feel very motivated and I never get bored.
Some people say that teachers cannot live without internet, but I think that internet makes life easier because when you need something, you just start surfing and you find whatever you want. In the past, people did not use internet and the teaching and learning process was successful because they really liked to read books. It means that we have changed the reading habit by the use of internet. In my case, I get bored when reading boring books, but I never get bored even though when I am reading boring topic through internet.
When using internet, I can say we use two kinds of intelligences. The first one is the intrapersonal intelligence because there are lots of people who use internet to make friends, and they have friends only through internet when at school, they are very quiet, they don’t like to talk with their classmates. Visual intelligence is the second one we use when using internet because people learn through watching videos, movies and pictures through internet.
