Dr. Lavouche, I would like my grade to be sent to this email box: yaxiao@ucalgary.ca. Thank you very much! I have learned lot and I begin to be comfortable with technology, which is really amazing for me. I am impressed with your humor and the good atmosphere of the class. How I wish this course could last a full long term so that I could learn as much as possible. Don't want to say good-bye!

Imovie-collaborative work with James!

These two days we learned about language lab and hot potatoes,which are really useful in teaching. In the language lab, students could record their voices and send it to the teachers and teachers can also record their lessons and let students watch it whenever they have time. By using the hot potatoes, we can make a quiz and upload it unto the wiki. So far I just got a little taste of each technology, which is far from enough if I really want to use them flexibly and master them. How I wish this course could last a very long fall or winter term so that I could learn more and practice more from Jean!

Today we modified the imovie we made yesterday and learned something about smart board, which is really amazing.If only I could use smart board to teach my students in the future. It is a great technology to get students stand up and do things themselves instead of passively listening to teachers preaching all the time. This is what I really like about this technology.

Finally I learned how to make imovie. I have never tried to make one, even though I got my mac one year ago. I know mac is very powerful, but I haven't tried much exploring its various functions. Today,I found it very interesting to make imovie just by following some simple steps and we can get a lot of fun. I will teach my son how to make imovie. Definitely, he will just love it!

Today we learned lots of stuff:tpack,picnik, flipsnack,symbaloo,wallwisher and ect. All cool things and just fatastic! I like using picnik to edit photos and create books using flipsnack. It is tons of fun! When Jean asked us to stop to do other things,we just said:"no,we want to go on and on!" Technology can make life so fascinating.Whatever you can think of could come true one day. So just imagine and think big! Look forward to learning more and more technologies and enjoy what technologies can bring to the education and every aspect of life.
