Both videos share the idea that technology is a great and powerful tool to use in education. And it has been in that way since prehistoric times. With the passing of time technology has evolved for the better and kept its importance in relation to education. But if we don’t use it in a smart way it’s just another misused tool.

It's not such a clear message but if you look deep inside and think about both videos we think the main idea is to use technology in a good and productive way. To use it in order to improve our classes and not just as something that is fashionable. It's a challenge to find the correct and engaging way to use technology in our classes. Our students need to learn about the world that surrounds us because they are going to use the language to communicate.

We think that the videos are updated because they make us realized about our teaching practices today, even though they may have some years on the web.

They don’t reflect our everyday teaching because we don’t have access to most of the tools used nowadays worldwide. We have to try to get the best of our students with just a handful tools available. We as a third world country are really far away from the use of this kind of technology in most of our public or private schools.

WORD CLOUDS ( also known as text clouds or tag clouds) work in a simple way: the more a specific word appears in a source of textual data (such as a speech, blog post, or database), the bigger and bolder it appears in the word cloud. The idea of using this kind of tool is to highlight important words in a text.

We imagine using this kind of tools to present a set of words to a group of children or teens and ask them to identify the different words, write them down on their notebooks and illustrate or group them etc. It would be a great and fun activity to start a new unit.
