Repflection paper

I have learned about how can we teaches english with using multimedia technology.
Before I attend this class, I was very nervous. Because, I didn't use a lot of thing.
For example, google, blog, and English website (ESL program). I think that it is a burden of teaching English. After, take this class, I could overcome my fear of using technology.
In this class, professor told me that what is good website to teach english.-www.manythings.org
When I entered to the website, I was surprised...!! Because, there are lots of informations to study and teach English. There are a number of materials to teach or study english and it was separeate kinds. For reading, speaking, writing, listening, grammar and pronunciation.. etc.
For the first time, I evalutated about that website. Who is made it? Is the content up-to-date?
Does the site work well? Actually, I didn't understand why are we assess the website. But, after i tried, I realized that why do we have to evaluate. From taking this class, I concerned to find the website for english education, and I found that popular websites(ex: google, podcast, youtube..) are giving us to help study english. In this case, I started to use my blogger again, and I tried to ask to professor what i don't know when i do a activity. I hope that my confidence and ability will develop.

Website Evaluation

I chose a website to explain. http://www.manythings.org
This website is very good!! There are lots of information for study and teaching in English.
This page is created by Charles Kelly and Lawrence Kelly. They are expert to in this field, and they made many of written books and websites for people. This page is content reliable and factually correct to me! This page content is up-to-date. The last updated page was 'Learn a song- twinkle twinkle little star'. It was updated at 24th march, 2012. This website is very interesting and stimulating! I think that many kinds of English information are listed in there, like speaking, listening, reading, vocabulary, grammar.... etc. And there are many games in there! Hangman, crossword puzzles, matching game,...... etc. So, many students will interest to study english. This page is attractive and very east to navigate. It is work very well, I think that there aren't broken links. I didn't a lot of large files, but there are mp3 files in there..!
So, When students want to download the listening file, they will download it. It is very useful.
