Through this video, two main ideas come up
to my mind. First is about the change of teachers` teaching methods. There is a
sentence in the video is that the class cannot be carried on if the teacher is
from the past. It means that students are always changing; their ideas are not
like these students in the old age. So teachers need to change the teaching
methods in classroom, or they will not have an efficient class. And also the
ways to publish information need to be improved, or the students may not easy
to accept it or have no interests to learn it.
Social Media Revolution 2011
This video tells me the influence and importance of media such as some social network today. More and more people start to use engines to learn new things. It saids that the number of followers of three big stars in Twitter are huge than the whole population of several counties. I think social network is a good and popular way for teacher having connection and reaction with students, which has less stress for their communication than face-to-face.
Hi,Fanlin
回复删除I agree with your perspectives about social media. With the development of high technology, more and more people begin to use high technology to communicate with each other. Teachers can take advantage of high technology tools to attract students attention and keep the classroom interesting.
Hi Fanlin,
回复删除I watched the same two videos and agree with your thoughts. Social media is simply another way for teachers and students to facilitate communication, with less stress than a face-to-face conversation. Social media also seems to be a way that we can be a part of the student's world. If we use forms of social media that they use within our own classrooms, it may give them purpose and a better understanding of the material that they are learning.

I also watched the social media and I like your idea of social network. We get in touch with our friends every day by network like Facebook. That is to say, we know what is happening on our friends through the Internet. In our field, we can learn some tenet from Wikipedia. Social media provide us with more learning opportunities.
回复删除I'm glad that you found the videos relevant. You did a nice job on this mod. However, I noticed that you chose 3 blogs from speech language pathologists. Although some of their techniques for teaching are similar to those for second language teachers, the speech language pathologists are dealing with people whose have problems in the first (native) language.
回复删除I agree that change is indispensable both for teaching and learning. In this high-tech age, students are changing everyday. The learning tools are becoming more and more advanced. Teaching methods and skills need to adjust to nowadays' trend accordingly. The classroom cannot be effective if the teachers still teach as they did in the past. Creativity and innovation are important for teaching.
回复删除Hi Katherine,
回复删除I didn't watch those two videos, but from your perspective I can get most of the ideas from them. I really like your idea that by online social networking, students will have less stress than face-to-face communications with their teachers. What students can do is to thoroughly think about what is going to say and fully express themselves!
