THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL TOOLS IN THE CLASSROOM

As today`s young learners are digital native, traditional teaching methods are not popular any more. It is very hard to engage students by using hand out and text books. Arno Macia ( 2012 ) says that everyone is the independent user of IT and in every field it has got very significant role in the society. Like other fields, in education and teaching teachers can not organize their lessons without technologies. Since all the students are from Generation Z and they are digital native students for each lesson I have to prepare tasks online. Sometimes checking students vocabulary is also takes more time and many students think that is very time consuming and boring process. That is why for ice breaker activity, I mostly use online games from “ Bamboozle” or Kahoot” or Quizzez.com”. According to Kirovska ( 2017 ) using technologies helps teacher to make more interesting lesson atmosphere.
