Week13 (Online application review)

Google Document

First of all, it’s good for teachers or workers to keep data that involved in their own work in the online application while separating them with your private data in your laptop. Also, you can create files for putting them in order. Once you save the data in the online application, you can access these saved files wherever you are. Also, you can share with whoever you want. You don’t need to send the data by email anymore and coworkers can access them from wherever. 

Picmonkey

It’s really easier to edit and put effects on pictures compared to FotoFlexer. No need to resister with your information. There are many cute designs too. Also, you can share the edited pictures on facebook, twitter, Pin, and email via the online application.  This application is helpful to edit pictures for the organization websites, blogs, and more to share about the organization affairs.

A highly functional website -Google Sites-

Bubble.us(Concept-Mapping Creater)

For my presentation about Educational Technology.
I will give a present about Educational Technology to professors and TAs (Researchers) in Language/Linguistic Department. When we prepare for presentations, this map will help us to organize the contents and think over the ideas.  

Presentation for Effective Teaching and Learning with Web 2.0

Screencast-Jing- How to use Windows Live Movie Maker

This is a video about how to use Windows Live Movie Maker and make a movie. It will be one option for students to have presentations about their experience. Or this would be one of the roles in the class as introducing class activities. If they master how to use this, they can have some videos for each class activity,events,and class as their roles with responsibility,creative ability,and thinking ability. And also, they can have fun to make their own videos,which might lead to their hobbies and goals.

Idea for a lesson with Google Map

#2 Come up with an idea for a lesson in which your students would create their own maps.

We have leaned basic ideas about typing, the internet,posting,and more with laptops during this spring semester. Before summer, we integrate Google Map into the class to make students get interesting geography, directs around their own house,streets names, etc. 
 
During a summer long vacation, they will have diary homework. Typically, they do in notebooks by hands,though they choose one happening(travel is the best!) that can be possible to show on Map, and create their Diary Map. They will show where and what they did with pictures. After the summer vacation is done, they will have presentations and share what they did in the summer in the class.

It would be useful to practice typing and crate original diary more. Also, it would be helpful to cultivate creating and describing ability. They can put their own pictures and videos for making them more unique.
Also, this lesson helps students connect what they have leaned on geography,writing,and art field.

Podcast

Private English Portal: http://privateenglishportal.com/category/toeflielts-lessons/

I found Private English Portal (PEP) by Steve Ford that people can learn English on online as second English for taking TOEFL test and learning business English and common phrases, etc.

There are 9 categories like followers. You can find each on the light side of the top page in the site.

• Basic to Advanced English Learning Lessons
• Business English Lessons
• Free Podcast English Lessons
• Learn English Live
• Learning English TV
• Parallels
• Peppy English Lessons
• Peppy English Pronunciation Lessons
• TOEFL/IELTS English Lessons

I like TOEFL/IELTS category. Each of the writing, speaking, and listening sections require specific strategies, and this podcast offers them with many examples with his unique ways. Also, he teaches many test preparations in the caterory. If you sign up, you can also the free subtitles and quiz for this category.

I can say he is really funny and unique in the all videos that I watched. The most important parts are that subtitle is shown in the below of those videos and he doesn’t make the users feel bored to learn English in this site.
