Nowadays, most of the schools of our countries are influenced by the new technologies, and the classrooms and management of the activities have changed considerably.
This use of the new technologies at schools have a lot of advantages, such as motivation, interaction between students and teachers, cooperative learning, easy access to the information, development of the creativity and so on.
But let's face it. It has also some disadvantages. It may cause distraction, students can become more anxious and we can get some wrong information. That's why a good teacher has to take into account all the factors, and use these new technologies in an appropriate way to achieve a successful learning.
In "La Sínia", most of the classrooms have a digital board, but it is not always an essential resource for the methodology that it is used in the school. What's more, there is a computer room shared by all the levels. There are twelve computers, so when a class comes to that room it has to be only the half, or either they can work in pairs.

The use of the new technologies depends on the way that each teacher works and manages the lessons. There are some teachers at school that are really current with the new technologies, because they are studying a master or just because they enjoy using them. However, there are others that prefer to use another methodology and to leave the TIC for other subjects.
Regarding to English lessons, the teacher usually uses internet to show videos to the pupils or to do online activities with them. She also uses webquests in order to refresh something at home that the students have recently studied in class. Sometimes, and mostly with the eldest students, the English teacher asks them to do some work by using the computer. It is the case of the activity "My personal timeline". The teacher has suggested them to make a power point explaining their own timelines to the rest of the pupils.
