Reflection

What I have learnt for this week
7 Mac 2011 (Day 1) and 8 Mac 2011 (Day 2)
Topic 1: Issues And Challenges In A Technology Integrated Language  Classroom
Topic 2: Enhancing The Language Classroom Through Technology-Integrated Activities
Topic 3: Enhancing Listening & Speaking Activities With Podcast

I have learnt about the differences when technology is used as a tool or teaching and learning strategy. I also learnt about the differences between technology-enhanced and technology-integrated. I've been asking which stage I was in the "Four-Stage Model". I have found that I was in the stage 2 - Software Technicians.
I have learnt  that “Good tools do not make a good teacher, but a good teacher makes good use of tools.”  I also learnt about the SmartBoard, the Podcast and how to create a podcast using audacity.  During the podcast process, I had face some problems, but at the end, I manage to complete the task and post it on my blog.  I also created my own blog, I was happy. I had to change my MP3 into the movie before I post it on my blog.

Nocturnal animals are animals behavior characterized by activity during the night and sleeping during the day.
