Digital literacyAccording to UNESCO’s ICT Competency Standards for Teachers (2008) to
live, learn, and work successfully in an increasingly complex, information-rich and knowledge-based society, students and teachers must utilize technology effectively. Within a sound educational setting, technology can enable students to become:

Misconceptions about technology
Izquierdo, E (2013) Teaching languages in the XXI century: Going beyond our own borders
Some misconceptions are: Technology is the solution. Technology must be taught as a separate
subject. Technology must be the focus of the class. Technology must be “off” in class. The class must be teacher-centered. There is nothing we can do if we don’t have
Internet connection or a computer lab.
Now, let’s seewhat children and
adolescents do nowadays.
