Session 1 Reflection
It has been a long long time that I didn't write a blogpost. It is because I suppose that people now are reading Instagram or Facebook, no one is reading blogs. However, to a certain extent, I was wrong. Once the teachers believed and started using a type of teaching tool, they can become very useful and professional teaching and learning platform because the teachers will try their best to promote their beliefs. And it is very true that students like playing online games or using different social apps nowadays so students can directly communicate and interact with their peers and teachers through internet.
I studied AS level computer application before so I was quite confident about using computer and I believed that my computing knowledge was enough for my work. However, more and more apps and online platforms are created, they are more instant, interactive, and creative. For example, I read some blogs that were written by different teachers, and they introduced an online quiz game called "Kahoot", teachers and students can create and make good use of the instant quiz programme and do revision. To be honest, I need some time to find the useful apps out and get use to them. But for writing blogs, it is much more easier for me to manage, and my students can feel free to express themselves as well.
On the other hand, as my school let all students to do online homework on some platforms, students are still adapting to the new mode of learning. Some students do not have computers at home, their families could not afford to buy computers so they need to stay behind at school and use the computers at IT labs to finish their homework. I found that is quite demotivating and annoying to students. I suggest that teachers can use some teaching tools which can be run in mobile phones, tablets or any computers so students can enjoy learning in anytime at anywhere. They can write and read teachers' blog whenever they use their mobiles or tablets,as easy as checking their Instagram or Facebook.
