CALL COURSE OVERVIEW

This CALL course is really helpful for a would-be teacher who wants to learn new educational technologies or for a teacher who has difficulties in handling technologies in class. CALL introduced the use of a number of technologies which can be integrated into classroom such programs as Power point, Blogger, Socrative, Canvas…ETC. Moreover, this course helped students to get started with curriculum development using new technologies.

Pros

The most beneficial aspects of CALL was that students were able to understand most of applications and create their own work during or after class such as making their blogs, socrative quizes and digital storytellings. By examining the pros and the cons of each application, students could have more clear insights into each item as well. The use of technology empowers students to take responsibility for their own learning.

Cons

One drawback to this course was that 10week , time was not provided enough to be accustomed to make best use of all of technology platforms.

Overview

As the computers are increasingly being incorporated into school curriculums, teachers need to be more knowledgeable and skilled on how to utilize technology in class. Technology instructions through CALL showed how to integrate blogging, video and audio editing, as well as some educational games to create and present information in more creative and engaging ways.

REVIEW OF SCREEN O MATIC

Description:

 Screencast o matic is a useful screen recording application. The process of producing the sceencasts is fun and eassy with screen o matic. Users decide to position the recording box on your screen where you want it and click the red record button. The video recordings can be accompanied by audio narration for step-by-step procedural instructions.

Pros:

 Screen O matic has a good feature that users are able to include captions. Teachers can use captions for inserting additional explanations on a topic of screencast and also can give a feedback to students’ assignments by adding comments. It has a converting feature that users are able to change the recorded item into formats like MP4, AVI, FLV, GIF. Besides the recordings can be uploaded to video-sharing web sites like youtube.

Cons:
 

 In screen o matic, basic editing tools such as cutting and zooming the sections are available. However, Users should make sure it’s in the right place before they save recording because any changes are not possible once user hit the record button.

Overall feelings: 

 Screen o matic can be used for a variety of educational purposes. Teachers can provide instructive demonstration, present orientation and make assignments that require students to produce a screencast. It can make lectures more visual and engaging to enhance students’ understanding during class.  Because of its ease of use, even beginners can simply create screenshots as they want to show and share with others.

 

Review of CANVAS ( Student Perspectives! )

Description: 
Canvas is an online course management program commonly used for providing learning resources at anytime and from anywhere. To describe canvas from students' perspectives, canvas makes students easier to check their course schedules such as exam date and due date of assignment and also to check their grades. Besides students can receive learning materials and can contact with the teacher and classmates through canvas.

Pros:
By accessing the canvas, students are able to keep track of current, past and coming course activities. In case of not attending class, canvas helps student to figure out what has happened on that day and what to do for next lesson. Another beneficial feature is promoting more chances to communicate between students and teachers, since canvas has communicative tools such as discussions, chat, collaborations, and conferences.

Cons:
The drawback that I found in canvas was that people could make more than one account with different user name which might cause some confusions in logging in.


Overall feeling:
I think canvas has many competitive features that are available to support students' learning.
One of best features, like discussion  encourages students to give some suggestions or feedback on the course-related issues. Students will more actively participate in course activities and assignment requested by themselves.

Review of Socrative

Description:
Socrative is a formative assessment system rapildy used in classroom with internet connected devices. Teachers can create quizzes or use shared ones from other teachers in this application. Then students are allowed to access the Room to answer the quizzes and surveys. The result of all activities can be immediately shown on the screen and sent via email for later analysis.

Pros:
Socrative is a user-friendly tool in that it is quick and simple to create activities and use other functions as well. Moreover it is a very interactive tool that both the teachers and students can engage class with a variety of educational games and excercises. Once students enter the room a teacher made, they are required to think for answering quizzes and poll questions.

Cons:
The disadvantage of Socrative is a technical limitation. It is not available for large classes that have more than 50 users.

Overall feeling:
Although Socrative is not appropriate for large group assessment, it is a powerful response program that teachers can get instant data on how their students are progressing in class and class feedback is useful to plan further class activities more targeted.

Review of Blogger

Description :

The blogger is one of the most used and the easiest blogging site that the google provides.  Variety of  information posted in blogger can be directly linked to other popular social network webs like facebook and twitter. Any followers and visitors of blog are free to make comment about shared posts.


Pros :

The advantage of using Blogger is to provide Google adsense that users can earn money through advertising targeted ads on their blogs. The user of blogger can choose and set the size and the position in which ads can be placed. This editing function prevents blogs from being plastered by ads.  Another strength is to analyze pageviews of the blog through sorting by date, country and browsers. This means that users can check how many times posts are viewed and where over the world posts are accessed on each date.

Cons :

The downside of Blogger is not liable for any unauthorized use of another blog's posts.
Thus, Intellectual properties such as images and ideas can be stolen by others and used for other purposes without any permission.


Overall feeling :

I think the Blogger is a global and easy blogging platform. Blogger is easily accessible from anywhere over the world on the internet and helpful for social networking as well.
Even though there were many good points of using Blogger, I found inconvenience that there was no  function of categorizing posts according to subject.
