Skype takes English teaching to the next level (Includes interview and first-hand account) - 4 views

  • Many teachers and organizations have tried to take the offline teaching model and simply put it online. This causes some problems. Firstly, the materials they use are not specifically designed for online teaching and they don’t use the technological capabilities of online teaching fully.

      I learned that teachers should choose their teaching materials, either offline or online, based on the goals and process. If online materials work for their teaching, teachers should use them. If offline materials work effectively, then they should use offline materials.

      Voxopop can support to improve students' listening and speaking skills both inside-classroom where there are many students and outside classroom as homework. Also teachers can think of a lot of different activities under a variety of themes with this online tool from students' their own speaking practice to a discussion with other students.

      I really like this sentence because it means online education can be used for any level of students depending on teachers's teaching ways.

    While virtual classes are more and more popular in universities, there have been many attempts to create new technological tools to be use in online classes. Some teachers have adopted a well made online audio software: Voicethread. Voicethread is a website to which one subscribes and create an account.
