#8. Open Topic / Reflection

For your final blog post, please feel free to write about any topic related to the course.  For example, you can reflect on what you have learned about in the course and your e-portfolio project and also discuss any future goals or plans you have to use technology in your classroom.

1. What I have learned about in the course.

The core of CALL class left me two words. < Authenticity and Efficiency >

In school practice, there are some irrational and inconvenient problems. For example, Gyeonggido Office of Education normally directs all teachers to conduct a survey about students’ life or any subjects. It can be a search, that is, how many times school violence happened or what subjects or classes they liked. Some assessment and total research made me why I did waste my time and my students’ times. If I had taken this course earlier, I would have work naturally and efficiently. But I know regretting is no use and I am content that I can adapt to collect students’ works easily, make formation assessment with the Potato tools, project my online classes, and stimulate th cooperative mind, etc.

2. What I remember especially

Ryan professor drives me write and read a lot because of submitting many reviews and essays and lesson plans. But I know that is all essential things I should have learned. Whenever I came into CALL class, I had the pounding heart thinking of finding treasures. All tools and amazing websites seemed to be a gold and silver.

3. What plans I have to use technology in your classroom.

I can be a nice teacher like iron man. Before I took this course, I was a naked and alone fighter in my elementary school. But now I feel like wearing iron suit. Even though the suit needs to be fixed a lot, I would like to practice going up the sky. Korean kids normally used to access internet environment because they played a lot of online games. But I want to show them a new world. To post their essay, make UCC, meet friends on Skype, publish their own books in a story bird, etc. I will adjust this course appropriately to meet elementary level. So I hope my students can share their second life and live freely.
