From the reading for Nov. 12

Oh, I have just realized by typing the title above that the next session is going to be the middle of November… Well, deadline, deadline, and deadline…

Rather than reflection, I would like to share my interests what I found in Chapter 9, since this chapter is informative. Table 9.2 calls my attention because it has the column "Technical difficulty." Technical difficulty is what I have been always thinking in this class. As a language teacher (and Digital Immigrant), I would like to learn technology so that my class can benefit from it. Especially in my teaching context, students are definitely Digital Natives and they will feel more comfortable with technology than I am. However, technical difficulty should be one of the criteria for choosing the way of teaching.

Then what I have to think with this table is if the activity is worthy. Does it deserve my effort? To be honest, I would not use Class Website (Difficulty 4) since I do not see any advantage of this over the traditional ways. If there is a ready-made website for teachers like D2L, yes I will definitely use it because I do not have to make any effort to receive its convenience. My criterion is always if my effort on technology pays. In other words, does the effort make my teaching better that much?
