Final Reflection 2008/5/28

Today is the end of semester. I really had learned a lot of teaching software from the beginning to now. Each week, the teacher taught us different knowledge to tell us how to improve. Besides, we would have a partical operation to utilize what we had learned in this course. After we had a partical operation, we just knew whether we learned the methods.
I thought if the teacher could slow down the speed of teaching, we would learn better. The teacher gave us too many things to learn. I cannot absorb at a time. Sometimes, when I finished one course, I didn't know what I learned. Therefore, if the teacher could teach clearly and slowly, I would learn better.
Thank you for your instruction this semester. I am happy to attend your class. You are the best teacher and so nice.

Today, I learned how to using Technology to learn reading and writing. The teacher introduced a lot of websites to us. Especially, I remembered one website that was I just typed the chinese word which I wanted to know the English words. It would have many different English words that you can use. It also supplied the context of the words to let us understand totally how to use the words. It was convenient and useful. No matter what abstract words, I can utilize the website to search the words.

Last week, teacher told us to choose the one of teaching sites to evaluate. I didn't know there were many teaching sites on the website. In the past, I just only read the books which the teacher taught. Until I have taken the coures, I really understand that I could learn English from the website. There were many kind of websites which I could choose such as listening, reading, writing and speaking. No matter which one, website had detail instructions and taught us how to learn English even it would have more exercise to practice. It was very helpful.

上禮拜，看到這麼多組的報告，發現每組都很用心，而且看到報告內容，知道哪邊該改進，哪邊該注意，經由同學的介紹後，也了解到選擇一個軟體，必須知道好的地方與不好的地方在哪，還要知道哪種軟體適合自己，這樣才能真正從軟體中學到東西

今天翁老師上的是繪聲繪影，之前有接觸過但是不是很熟，在今天重新學了一遍，即使只有簡單的操作，還是有學到基本的東西，兩節課似乎太少，只能學到最基本的，老師盡量在兩節課把他所要教的告訴我們，我也跟著老師操作，剩下的部分，只能回到家自己摸索，看到老師放給我們看的成品，才驚覺到很多網路上的影片都是用繪聲繪影製作的，如果我想要剪輯影片，就可以利用這個程式，今天依然有學到東西

There are many kinds of software in the market. Do you know which one is good or bad? I must know how to choose a good software and it is good for me to learn. Therefore, I have learned criteria for CALL task appropriateness in the class today.


When I choose a material, I need to think about language learning potential, learner fit, meaning focus, authenticity, positive impact, and practicality or I need to know how to perform the criteria. I can evaluate if these software have interaction-activities, beneficial focus on form, practice, pronunciation, or these can help students or not. I think these six criteria are useful. On the one hand, I am able to utilize this method in my future. On the other hand, I will know which material or software is good for me to use. In short, I expect next course.

第一次上翁老師的課，不知道老師所教的能不能夠適應，在一堂課下來，發現老師上課很有條理，而且每個步驟講的很詳細，操作的很完整，每到一個階段就會停下來等我們做好，他也會看每位同學都有跟上才開始下一個步驟，非常有條理耐心

老師在這堂課是教我們如何錄音，並且把錄音檔縮小，老師介紹一個軟體叫Audacity，這個軟體是專門錄音的，而且裡面的功能有很多，在老師講解以及示範操作之後，我們便開始學習使用軟體，雖然老師教的是很基本的錄音，但卻對我幫助很大，因為在這堂課的期末作業中，必須製作教學網站，我就能利用錄音的方式，把自己的唸的文章句子錄起來並放在網站上提供學生學習，非常有用，另外這個軟體有很多功用，能夠使用效果把錄音的部分修改，不好的地方可以剪下，也可以去除雜音，音量放大等等，很多用處，還有教我們如何把錄音黨縮小，通常錄音黨的檔案都很大，放在網路上站空間，因此可以使用轉換mp3的方式讓檔案縮小，種種功能助益很大
