In this digital era, teachers ask to deliver the material by using digital media. Computer and internet are the package that can be use in teaching language in the classroom. As we know that computer provide office tool that help you in writing and presenting. You can edit your work and add some images, audios and videos to make your writing or presentation become more clear and interesting. Teachers can ask the students to publish their work on the internet. May be the teacher can provide a class website or the students can create their own blog. Internet has provided the websites but however, you should pay attention to the copyright issue to avoid the criminal thing.
Communication is the heart of language teaching and learning. Email, blog and social networking are electronic communication that can be used for teachers and students to still keep in touch. Those things are now new things for us. If you have good writing skill, you can earn money by writing in the blog. As many as members you have and the comment make your blog is expensive. Language teaching process can be helped by using software such as lecture maker, audacity, macromedia flash, etc. Teachers can provide the material and the assignment there. Students also can improve their understanding by having some quises that provided by the teacher with the score. So you can check how deep your understanding.  In this digital era, teachers ask to understand the way to create as interesting, creative as the material by using software.

  3. @Azki : plagiarsm is not a new issue right now. As the teacher later, we ask to have rich information. By reading a lot and having discussion with others (everything that can add your information/knowledge)I am sure you can control about what your students do with their assignment. Do they do a plagiarism or no. At the first time when you teach them, you have to explain about plagiarism itself and teach them how to quote someone opinion as clear as.

    @Eko : I think before you ask the teachers to use technologies for their teaching learning process, you have introduce their first and then train them.
