Week 8 Reflection

Creating a class website? No way! I have no idea of what an html code really is!


Well, for those who have a limited knowledge on website creation, there is Google site!
As a matter of fact, this week I have edited my own class site. I just can't believe it!
Here you can have a look at it: https://sites.google.com/site/englishclass4u2/home
I believe it is very useful to have a site for teachers to administer and share information, write reminders, have a class calendar, set homework, share links and write some pieces of news.


Besides, I was able to create my first online Test on Mass Media at Easy Test Maker and I have created a printable word search at http://www.toolsforeducators.com/ Not bad at all!


Sharing my First Project Report Draft has been extremely challenging. I have read my peer's draft and found them very good!

Week 7 Reflection


Week 7 has been very challenging and rewarding for me.
Thinking of creating a one-computer lesson or activity was out of the question for me! I have always thought that the lesson would end up being teacher-centered and boring. Fortunately, I was wrong since I have read about it and I have implemented a one-computer lesson plan myself on the Risks of Social Networks! 




Thanks for sharing your wonderful experiences! I have learned so much from you!


I feel that using the computer as a multi-media chalk board has many pluses since it is an easy way to record information from a group brainstorming session or for simultaneous live access to a selected Internet site to enhance discussion or illustrate a point.


As a minus, a one-computer classroom to have students use the computer as a tool for individual input can be time-consuming for very large classes. However, a good facilitator can do wonders and having students volunteer to work can make the class move smoothly.
