Hi, welcome back, students!

After talking about some applications and websites the students can use, in this particular blog, we are going to discuss another program that we can apply to language teaching and learning. It is Zoom! As you have probably known and experienced, we used this communication platform during the pandemic because everything was done online, including going to school. Well, I have actually touched the surface of this topic in the previous blog, so let's directly discuss our main focus!

Recently, I recorded a teaching video with Zoom about passive voice. There were no significant problems except internet connection. It got a bit laggy at some points, but fortunately, it was still manageable.

"Is it effective and easy to use? Should I do it for my students?" The answer is yes! I really recommend you to try it because it is actually a very simple program. There are a lot of tutorial videos that you can find on YouTube. Here is one example: https://youtu.be/QOUwumKCW7M?feature=shared

As for the tools, I only used Zoom to record the videos and WPS Office for the presentation. The two were enough for me to support and enhance the teaching process, and I believe the recording is already good in most aspects. However, I would say that I need to try to add more engagement and excitement as offline and online teaching are very different.

If you'd like to watch the video of my teaching, please do so and let me know what you think about it in the comment section!

Source:  https://projectwale.com/ Back in the blog! Welcome, students! Lately, artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the hottest topics everywhere. It is brought up in basically all fields or professions, starting from teachers, doctors, researchers, and even politicians. Also nowadays, it's not a surprise to see children being familiar with technology as it has gained a rapid growth of use over the past few years. However, there is still a question that continues to spark controversy among people. Is AI actually beneficial for humans, or is it slowly leading us to something bad? Well, from the short introduction, we are going to discuss AI! I am 100% sure you have used AI before even though you may not notice it. AI can take different forms, such as ChatGPT, Google Maps, Alexa, and so many other examples. So, from your experience in using it, do you think it is beneficial or not? In my own view, artificial intelligence was initially invented with a good intention, and that

Experience is the best teacher. So, we are going to talk a lot about experience in this post! I'm going to tell you a story about the use of technology in the classroom based on my own experience. This took place when I was in the second semester of my study. The course was "Recount and Narrative Writing". Just like the name suggests, we learned how to write recount and narrative texts. What made me like that class was how the lecturer presented the materials. She prepared a lot of fun activities that includes technology. One tool she used was Padlet, the interactive tool we discussed in the previous blog post. She used Padlet to gather the students' answer of a question. Firstly, she gave us an instruction to add more adjectives in a sentence to make it more dramatic. Then, s
