The text is about different entertaining ways of teaching a new language. Students really like using internet to chat with other people and to play online, for that reason these kinds of resources have been using by teacher to motivate students. Others technologies that are also used, are ipod, mp3, mobile phones and iphones, to share messages, to upload posts to blogs. One of the most interesting activity is to create some games on internet that can make classes interesting for children, they want to have classes different, they need to learn through things that they really want to do, because is easy for them to learn. For teaching another language there are so many strategies that we can use, also messenger is one of the most useful tool to make student's classes interesting.

This is an interesting text that define many technologies that we can use as a teachers to make classes entairtaining for our students, the technologies that are exposed are the most common for children and teenegers, like messenger, mobile phone, mp3, games, etc. For that reason I think that this is one of the best way to teach children, because they are inserted in this new world and they know how to use this technologies sometimes better than us.
