I don’t have any fear of technology, but it’s
time- consuming work and somewhat challenging to apply technology in class
room. I can use computer and smart phone well and surf the Internet to get
information or data. However, having these skills, I think, doesn’t mean that I
am able to teach students with technology. I have visited a number of sites in
Internet, but didn’t know and wasn’t interested in how to evaluate websites. To
distinguish authentic websites and to find useful websites are very important
for not only students but also teachers. We have been working on producing
simulations and webquests. These two projects have me create new things and
cooperate with a partner. During the process I’ve acquired new knowledge and
been exposed lots of English contexts. If I become a teacher, I will use project
work for my future students because I hope them get something meaningful and
precious through the classroom activities, and simulations and webquests are
absolutely suitable.
I guess my weakness is that I’m not
confident of my work. It’s different from shyness. Nobody might believe I’m
saying that I don’t have confidence of my work, but it is… I am always worried too
much that ‘Do I have any vocabulary or grammar mistakes on my posts?’ ‘Is it
even correct?’ ‘Is my answer same with the one the lecturer is looking forward to see?’ something
like that. That’s why all the assignment I’ve done take too much time to
finish. I really want to break my weakness.
You are great to have a confidence!!!!:D
ReplyDeleteIt was nice story
I didn't know you are worried aobut your work. I think your work is better than others. Have a confidence about yours, but modestly..
ReplyDeleteI also think project work is very effective for students
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me S!? Did you say 'you are not confident of your work'?
ReplyDeleteYou are one of students, who can say their opinion clearly without any fear!
I still remember that, passing the class room, I could hear your voice even out of the door! I can recog which class you take and which class don't take without opening the door. If I can't hear your voice for 5 min, It means you are not in there lol
You have hu~ge confidence, you just need keep your voice down lol Its kidding you know :)
I want you to know you are a person, positive and full of confident!
I would say that you are doing fine. When you create your own materials for the classroom, it does take much time. Therefore, it is important to be able to use other materials that are available to the Internet, but most importantly, through evaluation, to be able to know if the materials you will use are reliable and acceptable.
