My reflection for week 12
Hello everyone,
I cant believe its already the final week of the sem!But still we need to do our assingments and of course BLOGGING!haha.well i have been just looking at some English teaching online videos and found it quite interesting of how teachers are trying new ways to teach English.I think its cool to see them teach on videos.Dont u think？I posted two videos on my previous post yesterday on how this teacher conducts her English lessons using a tv to teach her topic.I think that is quite interesting.I also saw some teachers using a blackboard to teach English and all they need to is just to record a video of themselves teaching using the blackboard.There is also another idea that i would like to share which i think it would be quite interesting for teachers to teach English online.Ever heard of virtual classroom? "A Virtual Classroom is a private online space in Blackboard that teachers can use to support student learning". Its free and students and teachers could use it whenever they want to learn or teach.Since i am taking the Chinese online paper this semester, part of this course introduces virtual classroom or vroom where students are able to learn characters,communicate with the lecturer or other students,write or draw characters and also learn how to speak chinese.All u need is a microphone and maybe a webcam if possible.I think this concept is interesting as its another way to teach English or other langauges in a more fun way.However sometimes i find it difficult to use this software because if there are connection problems u may not be able to access it or use certain functions.So in this case it may be a hassle for some students or teachers to use this program but as for some they enjoy learning or teaching using this program. These are two examples of the virtual classroom that you could have a look:
There are few websites that run this software where teachers are able to conduct their lessons and students are able to learn and communicate with the teacher. The website that i use for my chinese paper is elluminate.com...so if u want more information u can have a look through this website. Well this is all i have for now...if i can find any interesting videos or articles that are interesting , i will surely post it up...gotta go now...=)
cheers
