like / dislike
I like to chosing character. Just only thing is interesting.
Second Life is difficult than oovoo. At first I couldn't enter our classroom, i chatted with professor by oovoo. After I can enter the room.

advantages / disadvantages
Advantage of Second life is that student can take a class without going to school as oovoo.
A teacher don't know whether students listen to class or not. A teacher can't see their face so students can't  take a class. Students can perfunctorily answer professor's questions.

How could you use it for your teaching?
When students want to know other culture or have a question, they logged Second Life.

1. What is an authoring tool and what can they be used for?  
An authoring tool is a software package which developers use to create and package content deliverable to end users.
Though authoring tools have a range of uses, they are commonly used to create e-learning modules.
Authoring tools include a CD-ROM, DVD, USB pen drive, floppy dise.
If I use an authoring tool in class, students are less bored.

2. If you wanted to make a simple exercise for your students, what would you do and how would you do it?
A simple exercise is easy to do for students.
So I 'll usually give students an exercise.
I'll mostly give a simple exercise as a homework, students remember what they learned in the class.
Also, a simple exercise helps students get the utmost of what they have learned in the class.
Last class, we use Hot Potatoes. I am free to make the hot potatoes without burden.
I want my students study English while having fun.

1. Discuss how you can use blogs, wikis OR podcasts in language teaching.

As teachers' blog is space that store own data, teachers can have a quick look all learning materials.

Learners can download the data anytime and anywhere.

So teaching with blogs can do self-directed learning.

And learners can get a understanding effect in some detail as they wrote on their blog that related to learning contents.

The best way to use podcasts in language teaching is listening activities.

By using the information desired when learners want the content learners can get learning effect, concentration, motivation than radio that unilaterally communicate information.

2. Discuss the difference between a blog and a wiki.

Wikis organize information by the index and link.

In knowledge sharing respect wikis are more efficient than blogs.

Visitors can create new pages or edit the existing postings and share.

Wikis are suitable for Collaborative Learning.

A blog displayed in chronological order so the most recent post appears first.

The importance of the previous contents can decline as time goes by.

Contents are updated by blogger who posted the information.

Blogs are suitable the unstructured task performance by comparison with Wikis.(personal experiences and feelings, diary, etc)

reflection assignment

I learned multimedia in English Language teaching way to apply for several weeks. What is CALL, Types of CALL Programs, Finding Materials on the Web, Evaluating Websites...etc. I feel way to evaluate learning websites is the newest and fun. If I master English I want to create the site for learners who are experiencing difficulty in English. Out of consideration to the evaluation contents if I build a learning website, I’d be comfortable in making the site. In addition, I think when learners access my site; they would be easily found the wanted data. I want to make my site is able to be caused learning motive, and indirectly experience an English-speaking culture.
I can’t speak English fluently. So, when I teach pronunciation and intonation I will take advantage of multimedia by using. I have seen the movie how to pronounce on YouTube in the past. X-ray videos were taken. I think “The movie is in more detail than I teach students in learning” To overcome this weakness, of course, I should study harder. Studying to make use of multimedia without having to go to English-speaking places is the easiest way to learn.

Through this class, my strength is more powerful. I enjoy learning new things. In particular, this class topic was the subject I was interested. So I seem to do tasks more interesting in every week. I am going to taking the remaining classes in the future with good feeling.

Top 100 Web 2.0 educational tools for 2011

1. www.youtube.com

'www.youtube.com' is a video sharing service.
This site is the most popular video sites in the world.
Everybody can play videos without the procedure for joining after search keywords.
If you want to show video you can find them at YouTube.
If you look for something related to pronounciation, you can find the video even detailed mouth.
And there are related videos next to the video.
I'll use YouTube to give interest for the lower grades in studying.
And I'll use YouTube to more detailed data or more easier understanding for the upper grades.

2. www.moodle.org

MOODLE is Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment.

1. How can the Internet be used as an access point to real-world knowledge which our learners may lack?

->All learners can't go to use English in actual place, so they are helped through the Internet.

Various Internet sites to overcome the limitation of space and time enable learners to expose in a foreign language environment.

In particular, speaking skills improve by using speech recognition and recording function.

Recorded their pronunciation can be compared with the native pronunciation.

Because computer does the other party, learners can get the same effect as an actual conversation.

Through speaking materials on Internet they are able to learn short on speaking as well as listening, reading, and writing at the same time

2. What is the methodology for creating and using webquests?

We usually use webquest when exploration centered activities.

When creating webquest, we go generally through four steps.

Step1-Introduction, Step2-Task, Step3-Process, Step4-Evaluation.

In Introduction stage, we introduce the theme. Also, we mention the purpose of webquest.

In task stage, to solve what is ultimately presented projects and clearly indicate the assignment.

In process section of the webquest presents a detailed process for solving projects.

Performed process consists of several steps.

The evaluation stage can include Peer evaluation, group evaluation, self evaluation and teacher evaluation.

1.  Examine finding websites using different types of search engines.   

       Search engines help you to find useful information easily.

       Search engines can be mainly divided into three sections. 'keyword search engine', 'menu search engine', 'meta search engines'

       Keyword search engine is the way to find information by entering search words.(http://www.yahoo.com)

       Menu search engine is the way to find information step by step, 'main category' -> 'medium category' -> 'small category', in order. (http://www.lycos.com)

       Meta search engine is an intelligent search engine.

       After searching information in various search engines, the result is combined or outputted each search engine.

Recently, this distinction is disappearing.

2. Consider how to evaluate a website for classroom use.
By evaluating, students can know whether to accomplish the goals in the learning process.

The area of evaluation includes contents, technology, etc.

Is level of education organized to be able to lead learning motivation?

In understanding class, is it consists of essential contents?

Does the website include support materials to help students understand learning contents?

Are the fast loading time and the web browser compatibility possible?

Is the website easy for students to use?

Does the website give students interest and feedback with teacher?

1. Consider the causes of technophobia and suggest ways to overcome it.
Technophobia is fear of technology.
It appears that mainly high age or a less-experienced learners.
It has caused learners can't follow the new technology.
They have no time to study the new technology as they are so busy.
Learners accept positively new technology and without searching too much, they should learn a little.
Learners should develop a learning habit from appropriate level of their ability.
While using technology to learners should be allowed to make mistakes.

2. What are the basic skills and equipment that instructors need in order to start using technolgy in their instruction?
 -Instructors need a personal computer.
Laser pointer is also necessary.

Pen-sized laser designed to be held in the hand, and most commonly used to project a point of light to highlight items of interest during a presentation.

-The knowledge and experience of teachers about the latest information.

Teachers need having explanation and feedback skills depending on the level of students.
