Question: Once you’re on Facebook and Twitter and Foursquare and Google Plus and Tumblr and LinkedIn and Instagram and Reddit and Path — when, exactly, do you have time left over for a life?

Final Takeaways for ELT + ITFinal Takeaways for ELT + IT
Technology is our ally, but not a silver bullet! Technology can make a good teacher better, but
cannot make a bad teacher good! Every old technology was once new. New is not
necessarily good. Old is not necessarily bad. Beware, computers can serve as “digital cocaine”
both for digital natives and digital immigrants. Everything in moderation. Strive for balance when
doing ELT + IT.
