Reflection- Video Conference
* Advantages and disadvantages
I don't have to wear makeup or even formal clothes to go to school! Professor showed us nice PPT as he always does in the class room and I could understand what he tries to explain.
It seems that it's little bit hard to concentrate only on the lecture because of the videos on the right side of the screen. It feels like listening to the teacher during the soccer game to me. I like watching the World Cup soccer game but I've never been crazy about it. However, it still attracts me to see. Just like it, for the first few minutes, I couldn't help but kept glancing to all the members' faces and also mine. After a while, of course, I made myself stop doing it. If I have video conference later though, I guess I won't do it.
* How to use it for my teaching
As a teacher, I'll set an order to speak because we often spoke at the same time during the question time. Or make a sign such as thumb-up to have a chance to speak.
If I use video conference for my future teaching, there will be two purposes; to check students' assignments for me and to let students present their results. I know it's very hard for some students to stand in front of the class and present or express their opinions. (I had a hard time to overcome it too.) There is only one way to overcome this fear: do it as much as you can. Video conference can provide them with opportunities to speak to audience.
* I like it. It was a pleasure time to meet my professor and colleagues through web cam! If I didn't take this class I would never sign up oovoo and have such a great time. However, if I didn't have web cam or mic, I would never like it because it costs some money to prepare those equipment. Actually, I don't like taking my pictures much, but I found video conference is fun. Isn't it interesting? Anyway, I ♡ VC.(video conference kk)
