Evaluation of my website

2006-10-31T09:19:00.000+10:00

Basically, designing a website is what I want to learn in this technology subject, because the website can suit for teaching curriculum when I go back to china. Moreover, since experienced the studying and learning, I found that the knowledge I have gained is so useful, important and practical. Therefore, I have tried and applied theories in designing my first teaching website. In addition, I feel that I am going on the way to design a good website for teaching English.

The website which I designed is for the first year students in the university in China which I have worked in. My purpose of designing this website is to practice their reading and speaking; therefore, I design the activities to activate the students’ background knowledge and also can improve the reading abilities of skimming, scanning and discussing with other students.

According to the English level when they enter the university after they completed the National Matriculation Entrance Test (NMET), the contents which I select are the immediate level. The Hot Potatoes activities, such as multiple choice items, crosswords items, marching items and cloze items, can not only enlarge their background knowledge, but also help them to increase the learning interests. By first presenting some background information, student will finish the activities better and feel they can learn a lot by themselves. The templates are easy to go into the next page and also the homepage. The pictures and additional links can also help students to find the information which they are interested in.

After experiencing the researching of CALL and CELL theories, designing a website and gaining feedback from my classmates, I am affirmed by my peer that I have done a good job in designing the website. Due to their experience of teaching, they all consider that this website is a good to provide the environment for learning English. However, they give me two good considerations about my website. The first one will be consideration about the activities. Good activities will lead the students to perform smoothly. Therefore, I will inform students to first go to my web quest and then explore my website; moreover, I will put some more background information in some part of activities in order to lead students to perform well. The second point is the consideration about the students’ English level. For the further improvement, I will put some more links which is easy for them to read and search for information, such as the wiki pages.

In conclusion, form preparing this website; I have gained plenty of knowledge and theories in how to apply computer technology in teaching English. Therefore, learn by doing. I do think I have learned a lot during technology subject.

MY FINAL WEBSITE!!!

2006-10-24T16:57:00.000+10:00

Hello, everyone!!!

My final website is here: http://www.geocities.com/jupiterbabyyvonne/homepage.html

Welcome go and have a look at it and then give me some comments!!!

writing technology assignment

2006-10-23T14:15:00.000+10:00

Hello, today I have finally revise my website and I found that the hot potatoes also words well. I just hope that it can work well when Debra see it...

I was quite working hard on my assignment about the technology. I check my website and also write the assignment at the same time...I found that the website nearly finished...therefore, I focues on my written paper now...

This semester, I learnt a lot in teaching technology. The most important thing is that I found some really good techniques in teaching English using technology. I do think that the communicative language teaching works well in utilizing computer in the classroom.

Currently, students are good at how to use computer in China, therefore, I found that I really choose a useful subject this semester!

After I have finished the assignment writing, it will be great a lot!!!

haha, good morning~~~

2006-10-17T10:24:00.000+10:00

Good morning!!!

I go to the research center very early this morning.
I bring my breakfast with me so that I will not lose the seat in the research center like yesterday...

I go the cln618 to search some website to write my assignment about how to design a website for my target group...
I search a lot of website in olt cln618 and I should find them both in level 3 and level 4 in the library!

People like my best friend are planning the trip for the coming week...It is unbelievable that I do not keen on travelling now...
Maybe I have grown up now and now I am considered to be a good teacher and to read a lot of acdemic articles instead of just playing too much...

Well, anyway, just make a perfect plan everyday and do not waste time on day dreaming!!!

My website...

2006-10-16T16:57:00.000+10:00

I should say: designing a website is not easy for just download the images and write the words...it is more than that...

For website, I should design the activities for each items...and my topic is the Solay System...which means I should have plenty of activities to each planet!!!

Anyway, no talking and keep going~~~

my favourite singers...

2006-10-08T12:24:00.000+10:00

my favourite singers are David Tao, Jay Chou, Utada...

Utada: http://www.utada-online.net/
David Tao: http://www.davidtao.com/ & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Tao
Jay Chou: http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/portal.php

Should believe, once there is the great musician, he or she must has their special characters and most important is that their music is belongs to the young mind...

They search the love, friendship, myth and life...
They use their heart and soul to write music, because they know life is full of advanture and honesty.
Be pure to yourself, then you can find the true music in your heart...

A love song "Love to be loved by you"

2006-09-02T14:53:00.000+10:00

"Love to be loved by you"
Marc Terenzi (German)

This song is performed by Marc Terenzi, a German singer. People mostly like romance song like this kind... It is so sweet and deeply expressing the love which he plays the piano in the beach of Spain and his wife Sarah was all tears when she cried...

I can't believe I'm standing here Been waiting for so many years and Today I found the queen to reign my heart. You changed my life so patiently And turned it into something good and real I feel just like I felt in all my dreams. There are questions hard to answer; can't you see... Baby, tell me how can I tell you that I love you more than life? Show me how can I show you That I'm blinded by your light. When you touch me, I can touch you To find out the dream is true. I love to be loved by you. You're looking kinda scared right now, You're waiting for the wedding vows.
But I don't know if my tongue's able to talk Your beauty is just blinding me, Like sunbeams on a
summer stream And I gotta close my eyes to protect me. Can you take my hand and lead me from here please? Yeah,yeah Baby, tell me how can I tell you That I love you more than life? show me how can I show you That I'm blinded by your light. When you touch me I can touch you To find out the dream is true. I love to be loved I need to be loved I love to be loved by you. I know they're gonna say Our love's not strong enough to last forever. And I know they're gonna say that we'll give up Because of heavy weather. But how can they understand That our love is
just heaven-sent, We keep on going on and on Cause this is where we both belong. Baby, tell me
how can I tell you That I love you more than life? Show me how can I show you That I'm
blinded by your light. When you touch me I can touch you To find out the dream is true I love to
be loved I need, yes I need to be loved I love to be loved by you. Yes, I love to be loved by you.

Experiencing the rainy days in Brisbane

2006-08-31T14:56:00.000+10:00

Hey, I am back~~~!!!

At first, thank you all for caring me and giving me warm help, my teachers and classmates! I am fine now and getting better everyday~~~

Secondly, when I was in china, I was kept and cared by my parents included my younger brother and my dear uncle, I should thank to them too~~~ Thank you so much~~~!!!

At last, I should say I am so happy because I have met all of you!!!

A big improvement!!!

2006-08-12T16:48:00.000+10:00

Hi, everyone! I just can not believe that I can use dreamwaver to create my web pages! That's fantanstic! Thank you, Debra, Basim, Mahsa and Jeff!

However, it seems that I should have more practice to improve my technology now~~~espeacially in dreamwaver! Actually, I am loving to do it~~~

Do not forget my webquest, I think I am going to enjoy everything now~~~

A busy week now~~~

2006-08-07T11:34:00.000+10:00

Hi, everybody! I must say that sorry for not write a diary in the past few days. However, I am always keeping thinking about my webquest in those days. I have decided my topic now, therefore, I should search some more information and write something in order my webquest now. How about yours' webquest going? Maybe we can have a discussion about how to make the webquest in some days?

We are lucky that we had a meeting together with Basim, Mahsa and Nilly. We spent time on exploring how to go to the webquest and find some information about how to do it. We were happy about what we learnt on last Saturday. I think we should have planned a lot of getting together like this.

A few days ago, I met one of my friends here and I went to have a cup of coffee with her. Her looks quite good with her life and I am happy with chatting with her too!

This week seems quite busy for me. Well, keep going and have fun!

Planning the time~~~!!!

2006-07-28T14:41:00.000+10:00

Hi, everyone! I have never set up a blog in English before, so I feel quite happy with my blog now...Not only we can communicate with each other through internet, but also we can write some diaries about our learning and living in QUT. Otherwise, life will be boring...am I right?

I feel that this semester will be a good time for me to improve my study theory about how to teach English, how to make website and how to evaluate my teaching. Moreover, I find that time is always a big problem for me to control! SO, I just want to ask you about

"HOW TO PLAN YOUR TIME EFFICIENTLY?"

Come on, anyway, thank a lot!

What a wonderful class!

2006-07-26T20:54:00.000+10:00

Today's assessment class is quite good to encourage me to thinking about what I am going to make a proficient test in English. In this class, Debra always kept us thinking about the reasons of designing different questions, do they really coorperate your first purposes and subjective aims of your teaching courses and critical thinking and considerations about everything which will occur in designing a test! Oh, as far as I was trying to deal with these "easy" questions I thought before, I found the limitations of critical thinking of design a test, because teachers must have enough proficiency to make the suitable test for their students or they can be called "teacher". Moreover, teachers must have different and accruate purpose and aim of evaluations about what their tests are and how to make them better proficient next time! What a lot of working that teachers should shoulder, so I will never think that test is just to let students do the exams simply.

Come on and do it better as much as you can!

Talk, talk and talk!

2006-07-26T11:03:00.000+10:00

Yesterday, I just talked to one of my friends and I felt quite happy with that. Therefore, this kind of conversation made me thinking about communications.

People who live in this world are not single, they are interact on each other maybe to persuade you into doing something which will be good for you or somebody else; maybe show you what their lives are colorful; maybe love you to be happy together; maybe...In one word, it is benefit to talk to somebody which you trust enough to share what you are not concerned about or your likeness and dislikeness. As long as you talking, discussing and commenting, you will find their different world which may be giving you some wonderful suggestions to deal with your problems. That's ture. The question is that WHO and WHAT? Friends are treasure and money, different friends will give you different answers, what you are going to choose is handled in your mind and thought.

Anyway, talking and chatting are quite enjoyable especially with friends. Another benefical point is that it will keep me thinking in English for improving my English development.
