My reflection diary in my study

      After the last module of my ICT course, I am able to enhance my teaching knowledge about applying technology in teaching language, so that my students will not get too bored with the lesson. In Module 6, I had a chance to try to design a flipped lesson plan for my class in my college. I planned a lesson which consists of 30 English majors. The lesson focuses on Cars and Driving, aiming to provide students with knowledge about car types, car parts, good and bad driving habits. Students get access to online platforms and complete assigned tasks before classroom time. During the lesson, they are engaged in the rest of the lecture and assignments. By the end of the lesson, students are expected to conduct a simulated job interview in the form of videos and submit them (after class) on Google classroom, which is the main tool for my flipped classroom that I use in my college. One period lasts for 2 hours, which is insufficient for organizing all activities in an eff...

    To me, c reating a rubric is like an illuminating process. As I have just study this module and had a try on this endeavor, I realized that a well-designed rubric serves as a roadmap, which helps guiding both students and teachers through the assessment process and providing clear criteria for success.      One of the most significant aspects of creating a rubric is the clearance and measurable learning outcomes. By clearly defining the desired objectives and expectations, the teachers can ensure that assessment criteria align with instructional goals and facilitate meaningful feedback for students. The process of creating a rubric has also highlighted the importance of establishing consistency and reliability in assessment practices. By establishing clear descriptors and benchmarks for each performance level, teachers can minimize subjectivity and ensure fairness in grading.       Moreover, I think a rubric can help pointing out the valu...

     A little content... but precious value.      Although I did not attend the lesson due to my busy schedule. However, I through all the things I have learned indirectly through the content of the module on Canvas I've learned and I had a chance to learn about using CALL (Computer-assisted language learning) in writing and reading activities and to write a technology-enhanced lesson plan. I could still feel that I could catch up with my classmates! Ha ha ha ^^      Previously in my drawback, the lesson plans of mine were all just have been done with only the plan A, and luckily, I did not have any cases that I must count for the backup plan. However, through this lesson, I still should be more carefully with my next lesson plans.      As I have known,  In my lesson plan, I use a lot of class activities. Sometimes, I use a few online class games like Quizizz, Kahoot or Blooket for the warm-up activity and Padlet for the w...

    Hi there, it's me again, Damian!     So today (Mar 03rd, 2024), I have learn about skill building websites for Oral/ Aural skills and how to save bookmarks. And I thought that it was pretty useful for me. Generally speaking, I am kinda lazy to make something that needs to click and add too much. So I did not add much things in my Bookmark Bar 😅😅😅. But now, I think that laziness of mine must be solved. Ha ha ha. I have created some Bookmarks for me called Diigo. That's the only website or we can so called an extension to make Bookmarks to get to websites I want to choose to go to. I think ít pretty handy for me after all.     Besides, I have learned more about the Skill Building Websites to use for my Language Teaching Classes to be more convenient and more effective. I would love to try them in my next classes in my college!
