What I believe is that 21th century kids or teenagers find it more difficult to adapt themselves to old language-learning techniques than dealing with computers, tablets, geolocators, and the like, which enhance the learning of a language.

This author’s point is something I believe it is and has been (and surely will) present lately in our society and classrooms. Yet, if working with Internet and LAN activities (interconnected computers) within the classroom in a near future, teacher ought to be aware and competent to manage and control the whole situation.
The pictures of the file are seemingly taking place in school environments. Technologies found are: interactive blackboard, computer lab, portable computers, tablet PCs.
