Write an article on the topic integrating technology in teaching writing. It can be anything related to the slides, own opinion. How you would use it in future.

      The development of technology nowadays had change the teaching pattern of school in Malaysia. Technology can be a lot of different things such as mobile phone, computer, web base tool and Internet. We have to realize that integrating technology in writing is the best way to teach students nowadays. Computer or laptop are must have things for students nowadays and Internet connection are vital for students. Other than that technology manage students to be more creative in finishing their work and not to mention technology also motivate students.

Without laptop students cannot finish their work and do research regarding their assignments. Students who study in university are required to submit their assignment in form of typed on papers and not hand write assignment, that is why I said that laptop are must have thing for students nowadays, for them laptop are their soul and they can’t live without it. Early in the article I had mention that Internet connection are vital for students, this is because Internet is the place where students can get information for their assignments other than reading books in library.

When it comes to do their assignments students tends to be more creative because of the technology that we have today. There are times where students can show their creativity when doing a presentation. Besides students, teachers and lecturers also becomes more creative when teaching their students. This is because teachers and lecturers can add in visual ad to their presentation so that students will not feel boring when it comes to study about writing. Other than that videos and songs also can help students to learn writing. Videos and songs are the most useful things to add in because students sometimes are stress out with their work so in order to teach students in relax condition these things should be include in the lesson.

Motivating students to learn writing is not impossible when you know the techniques. For example social networks are things that can be use to teach and learn writing. For instance when it comes to do a writing lesson teachers can simply use “Facebook” “Twitter”or “Blog” to start a writing lesson. Teachers just have to put up a question on their social networks wall and let the students answer the question straight away and they don’t have to wait for class to teach the students. With this method students are able to give lots of idea because the process does not involved face to face interaction.

As a conclusion integrating technology in writing lesson really does help students to learn writing. Other than that technology help students to be more creative and motivated them in learning writing.
