What I learnt from assignment 2—researcher

Finally I finished my assignment two. I choose authentic learning as my topic to do my research. Through doing assignment 2, I learnt what is authentic learning, how to create an authentic learning environment for students and the importance of authentic learning. At the same time, I realized that there are so many tools and documents that I can use for my study. Suddenly, it reminds me the Newton’s words:”Stand on great men’s shoulder.” I do not know whether it is exactly the same sentence, but it is the same meaning.

Anyway, I am very happy about the design of assignment 2. Through doing it, students can learn a lot by themselves. It also inspired me that designing assignments for students is also a kind of art, we need to pay attention on it.

Online Unit

I have been so lazy to write something on my blog about my Technology unit. In this week, our lectures and tutorials were doing online. In the other word, we do not need to go to campus to study. This is so fresh for me, and it is the first time I feel like an external student.

I have to say, it is a great experience, and also inspired me that I can study as well as keep on working in the future. I forgot who said that, life is a process of study, you can not stop. In China, we also have many proverbs which are talking about continuous study.

To be a teacher in the future, I learnt that there are many ways of teaching. Through the computer and internet, we do not need to teach in the classroom. However, teach in classroom is still necessary. Technology can help teachers teach better, but it can not replace traditional way of teaching. In the future, my students will be from 4-12 years old. In my opinion, if we only use technology to teach them, they will slack on study, because they are too young to manage their life properly.

To conclude, studying online is a great experience, it gave me many ideas about myself and my career life.
