A very interesting Bangkok Post article about how a firm plans to offer affordable slate technology to Thai pupils for language learning as part of the Thai governments 4 billion baht 1 tablet per child program. It's very interesting to see the progression and development of learning and using technology in this process, after all it was only a 100 years ago that pupils would have been using a chalk board to write down new vocabulary and learn grammar structures. Nowadays, with the increasing popularity of touch based devices, students will no longer have to resort to using a pen and paper to take notes in class and will find various language facilitating apps to help them gain better understanding of a language. Who knows what's next, maybe future generations will be implanted with chips that allows them to bring up any kind of information within an instant (powered by Google and Intel perhaps).
Anyway there's some quite good intermediate/advanced vocabulary at the end that I found useful and hopefully you will too, such as integrate or รวมเข้าด้วยกัน (luam kow duay gun/ Rwm k̄hêā d̂wy kạn)
Let me know your thoughts on how technology is changing the way we learn.
