Application of Bax Normilasation in Saudi Arabia: The how!"

Stephan Bax argues that, "Our aim should be to attain a state of `normalisation' in which the technology is invisible and truly integrated"

in the article,CALL—past, present and future,,which written by Stephen Bax ,he argues 3 categories. His aim is to attain a state of normalization which the technology is invisible and truly integrated. This leads to use technology in learning and use it as new way for teaching in classrooms and dealing with it as anything practicing daily. He suggested changes to achieving normalization. CALL will be normalized if it becomes invisible and respond to the all requirements of the students. It needs changes in technology and attitude and also changes in the syllabus. Students have to learn more about technology and dealing with it daily as any essential and usual thing like pen or shoes and they also need to know how to use diverse technological tools every time, not just using computers in labs weekly.

In Saudi Arabia, I think we can achieve normalization in our Saudi context. Some schools start to use technology in their system, for example, they use computers instead of notebooks, in their home works they are using computer programs such as PowerPoint. They just use notebooks for some subjects. I think It is a great start for using technology in our schools. I hope they apply this in each school and becomes the educational system in the kingdom. But there is an important point here, I think  before applying technology in schools, we must teach our children the correct way to use technology and tell them that the technology is double-edged sword,so ,we can advantage and also can hurt ourselves because it is a new thing in our educational  system. Our schools which use technology in its system, they just use computers as technology tool. I think they have to develop new tools, such as; using some global sites like twitter and facebook to meet each other and meet their teacher every time even when they are in their homes. The can learn more and more by using these tools. I hope we can achieve what we need and want :)
