    As a part of MoLeNET project, I secondly selected that one. This project makes learning management systems available in mobile devices so that anyone can reach them easily regardless of time and place. In this way, students can have an oppurtunity to learn in a collaborative environment and establish a social network there.

    I picked the project conducted by Yorkshire Coast College. It emphasizes the power of text messages in learning; therefore, it increases the retention and welfare of students. In addition, it will definitely help to motivate them because they never set their mobile phones aside.

    After watching the video and reading the related articles about TPACK, I tried to find a common direction between TPACK issue and my own field, English language teaching. The first thing that came to my mind was Computer Assisted Language Learning tools. I also took a course about it during my undergraduate studies, and I tried to experience technology integration into language classrooms with all the "Total PACKage - Technology, Pedagogy, And Content" This "technology integration" notion brings a great dynamism in language classrooms by promoting the interaction and production among students, which are the key terms in language learning, enhancing reinforcement and retention processes, and presenting various oppurtunities for effective instruction and learning.
