• Not knowing how to use the XOs.
• It takes too long to complete an activity.
• It takes some time to get organised. Rules have to be very clear.
• It’s necessary to involve the CT.
• There are access problems with CREA2.
• XOs not charged when class starts.

• SS are more focused.
• It's more interesting for Ss.
• Interactivity. Ss can write words and interact more.
• RT can keep track of Ss on CREA 2 so they feel even more motivated to work there.
• It’s more attractive for kids learning this way, and they can practice outside of class.
• Students enjoy using their computers while learning the language.
• They get motivated. They get immediate feedback from RT.
• You can implement other classroom dynamics.

• Yes since it fosters student engagement if used in the right way.
• Yes, I would because it is a way of being connected.
• Yes, to enhance independent learning.
• I would use it sometimes, but not regularly because it would really difficult to present all the topics that
appear in the lesson plan and to still have time to use the XO at the same time. The internet access is
really slow and sometimes two or three students have to share one XO.
• Of course. It is really interesting to have XO in class, but many times I don't know which activities to do
with them.
• I try to use it as much as I can. I always do in order to assign homework.
• Not regularly, for specific activities. There must be interaction Ss - Ss and Ss- RT. Face to face.
• I try to use it as much as I can. I always do in order to assign homework.
• No, I feel the interaction among students is a lot more valuable than having the kids looking at their
screens. In class A we need to introduce new language and vocabulary and we need to get them to
communicate using the new language/lexis so I feel there is no time for XOs in class. XOs could be highly
valuable for homework or in classes B and C where the teacher's language might be limited.

• CT and RT training onthe use of CREa2
• only started interacting with XOs more regularly after Evaluations. It boosts
interaction. I feel like I'm more 'present' in the classroom. Also there's immediate
feedback
• an we have a group with RT, CT, MAC and dinamizadoras?
• Things would be easier and faster if I could administrate my groups by adding or
modifying access of different members.
• It should be more clear how to proceed when one of the students is not in Crea or he
is, but I can't see him or her.
