in Reflection on the online language learning course
Today, after talking with my tutor Ruby, I begin to think about this whole blog things from two perspectives.
First, as a student of online language learning, I am a little bit of nervous about creating and using the blog although it can be used as a basic requirement for this course. I have nerver used a blog before and I even rarely visit other peoples’ blogs, because I’m not the type of people who are willing to communicate with others online. However, things should be changed during this course. I need to try to use this technical device to faciliate my learning as well as teaching.
My tutor also suggested me to think with a teacher hat. If I were a teacher and encountered with this thing that students felt nervous to use blogs as learning facilitater, what should I do ? I suppose the first thing is to release their pressure by making them understanding that all the technical devices are just designed to help people. Then after demonstrating the basic instructions of creating and using the blog, I should encourage my students to explore the blog world. Their interests should be arisen during this process. The more interested they feel about the blogs, the better they will learn.
