Hot Potato seems kind of interesting to me. However, I still need to explore how we can collect students’ scores. Is it possible to set it up to automatically export the scores to EXCEL or something? If so, since I will have to teach large numbers of students, it will allow me to be lazy. Well, I mean it will allow me more time for other work. This software will be very useful for frequent small quizzes.
Presentation helped me visualize how I would be able to use WIKI for my teaching; however, while doing so, it told me that it is not very easy to use. It might cause a "DISASTER." Foreign language itself already gives students pressure, so we need to be super careful when we introduce technology. As the presenter said, it needed to be as simple as possible. Personally, I feel interacting with many people via WIKI is very demanding. It tells me all the time via email that there is a new posting. Even when I do not want to think about it, WIKI tells me as if one of my friends were telling me "Hey, one of your classmates posted something. So check it out!" I am not complaining either about the function that WIKI lets me know the new postings or the use of WIKI in this class, but I just think WIKI with small groups might work better for younger students.

I think you made a good point about "being lazy";)) What I mean if using technology spares you some time for other things, then its usage is definitely justified;) I think that one of the reasons teachers like using technology is because it makes their lives easier and allows for the time to work on other things;)
I haven't found out the solution either...not sure how to find students score yet
I agree with what you said about not wanting to put any more pressure on students than necessary. I like the concept of a one computer classroom teaching approach because then I am the only one feeling pressure to be able to work technology.
