MP4 & Message Leaving

Last week, we were taught to use PSP Movie Creator and converse the form of the films we like into MP4 form in order to suit iPod or PSP. I think it is another praiseful program because it enhances the convenience of using the audiovisual method in learning. Since teachers can teach lessons by shooting their teaching into flicks, or assess students’ reports and homework through film records, I think learning would not be restricted to place or time. Students could save the lessons in the portable machines and learn anytime and anywhere.

And this time, we were assigned to express the pros and cons on the same topic and post it in the blog; later, to leave the opposite point of view to another friend’s blog. I think it is interesting because it inspires students to think more and to stand for their individual opinions. What’s more, students are also indirectly encouraged to find more and more information on the network themselves. By doing so, students are taught that learning through the internet is an interactive activity which has replaced the conventional teacher-student class learning.

For instance, for the advanced-level learners, teacher could post an article on the net in which there is put the basic information about a theory, and he/she asks students to get on the net and leave their messages to add more information or to correct the information which has been given. Then teacher can evaluate students’ present rate of progress in class depending on their words.
