 * Computer won't give you a bad mark into your diary. Computer is a patient and non-judgmental teacher. That's why it gives the student motivation to continue learning.
 * Computer will tell you the same things as many times as want to listen to them But it will never appreciate your efforts . If you need a recommendation, you still need a teacher at least on the side of Skype
 * Computers get the Ss interested in studying, as young generation can't live without them. Of course, it is perfect to study with the computer, but a teacher is still needed to give the instructions how to do this.
 * Computer doesn't show its mood, bad or good. That's why it is very motivating!
 * Teachers should learn to work with the help of computer so easily as they do it with the chalk.We mustn't be backward from students' interests and their self interference into the world of technologies uncontroled without the teacher guidance. Don't be scared of new-there is much work for us to learn and then teach. Technical understanding and know-how is more important than ever.
 * IT lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before. Keep working and changing and it will move you a little further to where you want to be. You also should remember that software is only one tool in the learning process which will be really effective with well-trained and dedicated teacher integrating it regularly not just to add up.

 * Love and respect to your students are essential. But get out of a shell of a conventional approach, look around at the fast moving world, keep up with it and change the way you care. And remember you don't need to carry your students to your goal, but you should walk beside them on their way to their goal!
 * Dear Teacher! Learning technologies can be supportive just find the balance between traditional and innovative keeping in mind students' progress.Use Internet resources as they are collaborative intellect, and nobody has to invent "their own wheel".
