EN6482 first post

I seldom use technology in the language learning context as I am not very good at IT. I can only make use of some simple IT tools to facilitate my teaching such as Words, PowerPoint etc in my lessons. Recently, I also find YouTube a very useful tool to facilitate my English teaching. For example, playing some English videos or music video.

There's an elearning system (i.e. eclass) at school. However, I am still not very familiar with this system now. All of the teachers need to book the classrooms through Eclass but we still seldom use it as a platform to communicate with our students.

I hope that I can enrich my knowledge in technology from this course. By the end of the course, I hope that I can be more confident making use of technology to faciliate my teaching in English.
