3. Use effective tools – It is important that

students will understand how to use computer
tools that might help them in their production
process. Students do not need to understand
every component of the program, but the salient
features that support the current process.

4. Apply the tools – It is important that students

know not only how to use the tools but also that
they understand the opportunities that each tool
affords. To this end, teachers and learners can
brainstorm the kinds of tasks that can be
accomplished with tools such as database
program, a word processor, or graphic
organizer.

5. Ask your teacher – Whenever there are queries

about the production, ask the assistance of your
teacher. Your teacher will help you break the
task into logical stages and encourages you to
use a variety of re- sources in different modes
such as writing, graphics and oral language; and
