Reflection 7-11 March 2011

Day 1 ( 7 March 2011 )
Topic 1 : Issues And Challenges In A Technology-Integrated Language Classroom
Topic 2 : Enhancing The Language Classroom Through Technology-Integrated Activities
Topic 3 : Enhancing Listening & Speaking Activities With Podcasts
          I learnt that technology can enable teachers to accommodate a variety of orientations to learning, track student progress, remediate struggling students and challenge advanced learners. Then, we were taught to develop students' Listening and Speaking skills through ELT Podcasts.
          I had my practice on recording an interview by using audacity and transferred it into MP3. This was my first experience and I faced a lot of problems but finally I could solved them with the help from my coursemates and lecturers.

Day 2 ( 8 March 2011 )
Topic 3 : Enhancing listening and speaking activities with podcasts
Topic 4 : Reading activities on web quests
         We were asked to continue our practice project where we could edit our podcast to make it to be a perfect one.
         Building a storyboard as a layout for web quest and develop it onto the blog was another new skill for me. I felt very excited on building my blog and upload all my projects onto it, but i faced difficulty in uploading those such things because the internet access here was very poor.

Day 3 ( 9 March 2011 )
Topic 4 : Reading activities on web quests
Topic 5 : Writing with multimodal texts
          Lecturers provided us with a lot of websites to get sample web quests, downloading musics and images that helped us to complete our projects of web quest and brochure.
          I also learnt to create a brochure assessment rubric to self-access the quality of my brochure.

Day 4 ( 10 March 2011 )
Topic 5 : Writing with multimodal texts
          Learnt to create a short video clip on advertising the trendy footwear by using the Windows Movie Maker and uploaded it onto my blog. It was quite tough for me to apply it because I never learnt it before.

Day 5 ( 11 March 2011 )
Topic 6 : Integrated language skills through project-based learning approaches
          Uploaded all our projects onto the blog and gave comments on our coursemates' blogs.
