Discovery

To be frank, I was terrified by the first week because the attendance regulation is quite stressful. Besides, I have no talent for computer at all, so I was nervous about whether I could pass this class at the end of the semester. But since I believed this lesson would be very important for all of us, I decided to join it. Today, I attended the class, and I am gratified and convinced that this choice is absolutely right.

I learned what kind of on-line methods I should download, such as Yahoo mini pen and delicious bookmark, which lets my computer benefit my work. When I was browsing the Internet page and saw any word I didn’t know, I had to use my electric dictionary or open another new Internet explore page to look it up. And I used to encounter a situation that I couldn’t find some important and often-used websites while I was not using my private computer. These problems are very inconvenient, but, from now on, it is different.

On the other hand, we were showed many web sites and some people’s blogs in which some computer-assisted relative problems were discussed. I think they are very useful and we can contact more and more information through accessing the internet. Furthermore, it would be another kind of self-learning---learning without teachers.

For the homework of this week, we are assigned to leave a message in a blog. We have to think about how we should weigh the pros and cons of the computers and the real teachers. And we have to surmise the tendency of teaching and learning and the future of these two as well. Although my view point has no certain conclusion on this, I was glad to share my opinion with everyone.
