1.I try to use the Internet in my classes. We have some favourite websites e.g. http://www.projectbritain.com (but not only), we exchange e-mails, do make presentations in PowerPoint (me or my students). I have built a class blog so we will communicate this way as well. Students are good at useing the Net and other new technologies so I can learn a lot from them. I have participated in a course organized by British Council - ITC learning technologies. Good inspiration,
2. Problems with computer room, I mean we have not enough computers at our school.
Cyberbulling can be a problem.
3.It is a question. Live teaching vs.new technology. I do not know. I am about 50, so I am not fymilier with computers and all new technologies - my problem. I am learning. Computers will be used more and more, interactive board is a great thing, it helps us teachers, there is a lot of materials, we do not need to make our own exercises, we can use what has been made. I will start online teacing and learning English by MacMillan, it is Practise online, great. Of course, I have made a lot of presentations in PWP. Teaching should be easier with computers. Downloading videos, making wiki, blogs etc. At the beginning a bit time-consuming, but great. Students like using the technologies in our lessons

Interesting Magda. I think that if you like the technology or not, it's a fact of life and we will have more of it in future, so it's a good thing to know how to use. I think you're doing the right thing!
