As I have only one computer at my disposal rather than a computer lab, I was interested to read about "7 Categories of Classroom Computer Use". In fact, I am used to making use of the computer as an administrative and presentation tool. It also serves as intormation station.
As for the "Stratagies and Applications for the one computer classroom" they all are of common sense.
Finally, I consider the paper "Going to the MALL: Mobile Assisted Language" to be an in-depth overview of today's mobiles technologies which can be employed for language learning purposes. Unfortunately, the only gadget mentioned there which I have managed to deal with so far is a cell phone. Mobile language learning programs seem to be a rather motivating and convenient technique, but I suppose the lessons delivered per mobile can only be beneficial as outclassroom activities, primarily intended for self-study purposes.
The resources I have discovered this week are http://padlet.com/ and WordWeb.
One more thing, there is a BBC Learning English Words in the News lesson about my country. It is now that I have realized that the things we learn from news are different from what happens (and how it feels) in reality.
