Review of CALL class

                                            -Review of CALL class-
 
  Throughout the first semester of TESOL program, I took a course called CALL, computer- assist language learning. The ultimate goal of this course is to learn useful technology tools, so it is able for teachers to teach students more efficiently by using technology in class. Every week, I learned how to use at least one useful tool. For mid-term project, a pair of students chose one application and introduced it to other class mates. This experience definitely helped me to extend my teaching skill. For final project, I created three lesson plans. I should include one short-semester and long-semester technology for each plan. After the project, I had a confidence that I can actually apply these technologies efficiently when teaching students and could have more chance to look up other helpful tools that I can use for educational purpose. I also liked getting to know a variety of technologies that I didn't know before. These tools will enable me to teach students in more interesting and efficient ways according to their ages and provide me with extensive useful teaching materials which can be helpful for teaching. Moreover, I liked using canvas for long semester technology. It was very convenient to use and saved a lot of time, because I can work on, check, and summit assignment through my smartphone any time and every where. I can also look up other students' blogger, so it is possible to share different ideas or opinion of others. However, it would be better, if we went over more technologies in class. We only went over one or two technology averagely. Also, I had a hard time to find cons of the technologies when reviewing them. Overall, this course was wonderful and one of my favorite course that I really enjoyed learning. I will take advantage of this course to teach my students in more efficient and a variety of ways by using the technologies. I will keep searching more technologies by myself and use them educationally.
