Autonomy has been defined as the capacity to control one‟s own learning. At the most<br />basic level, fostering this capacity in the classroom begins with the teacher‟s own<br />decision to become more aware actively in the student‟s learning in order that the<br />students may also become more actively involved in making choices and decisions.<br />Indeed, teachers need to optimize their roles such as facilitator who iniates and<br />supports decision-making processes, a counselor who responds to the ongoing needs<br />of individuals, a resource who makes his or her knowledge and expertise available to<br />the learners when it is needed, and so forth. In another word, we, as teachers, cannot<br />teach students to be come more autonomous. We can, however, create the atmosphere<br />and conditions in which they will feel encouraged to develop the autonomy that they<br />already have. One way to acquire this is by bringing Information and Communication<br />Technology (ICT) into the classroom. It is the use of webtools, Storybird web 2. tool<br />for teaching writing. It will not only highly motivate the students to write in English<br />and other languages but also it gives an opportunity for the students to control their<br />own learning experiences by means of technology device.
