Two
examples of how one can incorporate technology into one’s professional practice
when teaching essay writing to adult learners, include using Google talk to
have frequent dialogues with learners through text and voice communication online
or offline especially with respect to clarifying assignments whenever the need
arise (Wikipedia, 2013). This technology
will allow the instructor to instantly
send and receive files, pictures, and through audio conferencing dialogue with the
class of learners (Google, 2011).
Second, Wiggio will be incorporated because
it promotes active learning by giving the feeling of face to face interaction
with the individuals involved through means of teleconferencing. In addition,
it enhances organizational, reasoning and communication skills through its
features as learners learn from each other during discussions. Samples of
essays can be posted on wiggio which learners can see and edit same, as well as
view others corrections of the essays posted.
This technology allows for easy group collaboration, making the work
easy for both instructors and learners. Below are the URL for each technology.

I like Wiggio. Sharing files can save a lot of time by allowing a group to upload their files or links and work together on them. Here is the link that explains that feature.
