Secondlife Reflection

Like things... Well.... The Avatar character is very nice! There are many design of characters, and we can choose what we like it! Dislike things,, It is very difficult to use it. I didn't know that where is my character and there are many strangers. How could you use it for your teaching? Well, I will show my students what is secondlife and how to use it! If some students want to make their character, I 'll teach them, optional. Advantage is make many friends in there. But, disadvantage is very difficult to me for using this website!

Video conference reflection

I think, this conference is very exciting. It can concentrate to class and learners may feel like exciting and they will have a novel experience. So, I  like it!! But, I don't like preparing this and that, like headset with microphone, does the camera work nomally or broken. How to using video conference in education? Well, first, the class is cancel!! And I meet my learners in oovoo video camera at my home.
Learners are less stressful and they feel restful. Advantage is concentrating, restfulness, and we can use free! But, disadvantage is that expensive for buying equipment, like camera and headset.

Week 10. Things to Consider


1. If you wanted to make a simple exercise for your students, what would you do and how would you do it ?

- I want to make word search puzzle First, I decide some words, mixing with many of alphabets.
So, students find the word, and they may be excited.
Another simple exercise, multiple choice. First, represent the what the word meaning. And then, students choices what is the word.

2. What is an authoring tool and what can they be used for?

-An authoring tool is an installable program that allows you to create materials in electronic format which can then be distributed on a CD-ROM, DVD, USB pen drive, floppy disc or via a web page to our learners. Authoring tools usually feature a simple design interface, with drag-and-drop elements allowing you to add pictures, sounds and video material to the screen, along with navigational options such as forward and back arrows, and content menus.  The most famous authoring tool in our field is Hot Potatoes. It is using for multiple choice, short answer, jumbled sentence, crossword, matching/ordering and gap-fill.
