VIRTUAL TOOLS FOR TEACHERS EDUCATIONAL & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH IMPLEMENTATION

The integration of virtual tools and activities to teach English skills reading, listening, writing, speaking and critical

thinking are the main bases of an educational research study, as it might bring many benefits to both teachers and students. First of

all, students are a part of a flexible learning environment organized with animated lessons and a variety of interactive activity tools

that engage them to learn and understand topics about their interest and needs. Second, students will have the opportunity to

clarify doubts or questions about online activities, take advantage of additional resources such as chats, forum and e-mail

messages, and participate and exchange ideas by working collaboratively to put into practice knowledge associated to their

educational formation.

For VT’S development, the following Icts tools, free programs and softwares were taken into account in complementary

activities, which are shown in the table below.
