Many people are afraid of new technology, and, with the increasing presence of the Internet and computer, the term tecnophobe has appeared to refer to those of us who might be wary of these new developments.  And for who have come late to he world of technology, they called digital immigrants. Although the use of ICT by language teachers is still not wisepread, the use of technology in the classroom  is becoming increasingly important, and it will become a normal part of ELT practice in the coming years.  A simple ways to overcoming the technophobia are used the technology everywhere, in classroom, at home, in internet cafes. A large part of negative teachers have towards technology is usually the result of lack of confidance, a lack of facilities or a lack of training.The doubts of teachers about using technology in classroom are because  using computer isn’t interactive, or the computer room always used, or the teachers don’t know anything about technology. And the simple solution of this problem is, try to often use technology in our personal lives, such as mp3 player, or the internet e-mail. The technophobic teachers needs to be encouraged to get started by emplementing simple, undemanding technology with leaners. As we know, teachers have varying levels of access to computer and technology and teach I all sorts of contexts to all sorts of leaners.  And computer-based that we can do with our leaners are using website, internet-based project work, a class blog with learners , using online reference tools, or electronically produced materials printed out for our learnes. And some basic skills and equipment that teachers need in order to start using technology are, at least one computer, a internet connection, a printer, an audio card and a headset in the computer, and also basic software.
