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.
