“Challenges of creating web-based activites in Sally Morrison” Interactive lanaguge Learning on the Web”

      

        Computer is a tool and a workhorse  . Researchers and teachers all over the world now have realized the importance of integrating technology into the teaching process . One of the ways is the web - based activities which mean hundreds of online exercises  ,  lessons , games and quizzes in many different languages . But this is not as easy as we think to apply in schools in Saudi Arabia . Teachers and students will face many obstacles  especially at the beginning . 

        First problem is the lack of technical skills of some teachers and students . If the teacher doesn’t know how to create web-based activity or if the students do not know how to use it , then this material is useless . Both of them should learn how to use it . But knowing how to create a web-based activity is not enough . The teacher should know how to use it effectively . For example , the teacher creates a weak activity which is not enhancing the learning process . 

        These problems can be avoided  if the teacher and students know how to create a web-based activity and use it effectively .
