The world of technology has had significant influence on Israeli students. They feel comfortable "surfing the net", chatting online and even making homepages. The EFL teachers of today must become familiar with these new elements in order to reach the students in this new millennium. This course will bring the EFL teachers in contact with the current computer and Internet innovations that are important for classroom application. The teachers will first be exposed to these innovations, evaluate their significance and then use them to create online lessons for their students. Each teacher will deal with topics according to the level of his or her own students.
