If you are considering using computers in your lessons, there are a few things that should be noted:
a. Always have a backup plan
b. Accept the fact that everything will take longer than usual at the beginning
c. Make it very clear to your students that you are going into the computer classroom to learn English
d. At the beginning, be prepared to continuously monitor their work.
e. When evaluating student performance, make sure that No student should be penalised for their non-language related skills
f. Always set a tight time limit on the tasks and stick to it rigorously
g. Some students take considerably longer to complete certain tasks,
and these differences will be even bigger with computer-based tasks

results or hack into others’ computers to see the answers
i. Suggesting alternative methods or sites for doing what you ask them to do
j. Sharing links with your students during lessons
k. When creating your online profile at the community websites you can
find in the “Useful links” section, you should consider setting up
two (or more) separate profiles

There are also other stuff for teaching English using technology. Those are Mobile devices and BYOD.
Those involve considering apps whose learning purposes are justified , free of charge and accessible via the three main operational systems: Apple iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.
The next way for learning English is also available in online. One of which is at www.British council.org.
The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations. It provides the mobile version for learning English. The
British Council’s Learn English Mobile is a suite of products and content that
is delivered across different types of mobile devices. The new mobile products include content from British Council
websites adapted for mobile delivery as well as games, audio materials and
learning tools. These applications focus on short, engaging and interactive
