To include the use of technology in classes is a cleaver decision. Today we are living the computer era. Therefore, it is necessary to be in contact with what is out coming from it. As a tool for English teaching to implement technology in the planning of the classes could have advantages and disadvantages.

First, the use of blogs in classes has been a helpful tool to improve some of my writing skills. For example, to write short post in a reduce amount of time. Although, at the beginning could be difficult to accomplish the goals the teacher has set, it is a process that has have rewards. One of them is to be able to write short essays in an hour and a half.

Moreover, blogs in classes gave the opportunity to know a bit more about the way my classmates think. The different topics developed throughout the semester were based on personal opinions and things we like. In addition, the way the different blogs are organized also provide a view of how the others think. In that sense, it has been interesting to work with blogs.

On the other hand, the problem with working with internet is the temptation it represents. By this I mean it is difficult to focus on finishing the day assignment when the possibility to have access to other types of information and pages like face book is only a click of distance. To me, that has been the only disadvantage I can think of because in general, the idea of working on blogs has been a pleasant novelty that has given me the chance to practice my writing and thinking in everyday themes.

To conclude, blogs can be a fun way to learn English through writing about topics we feel attracted to. For that reason I believe that the use of technologies in classes is more an advantage than a disadvantage. To have the chance to work with elements you already know like internet, is something teachers have to consider, although most of them do not feel attracted to work with new technologies.
