Today's 3-hours lab class is very fulfilling because I learn how to use FrontPage software. It is a good initiation for me to learn more about this software. We spend 20 minutes of the first hour responding to others' postings. It seems that many of our thoughts are very similar to each other, and maybe it is so-called “Great minds think alike?” With the class goes on, we move to edit our own blog. Now I know how to change the color, even font types, by changing html codes. It's very practical! And then we use FrontPage software to publish our last week's notes onto our collective blog. It takes me about 30 minutes to publish this posting but still in vain because of some unknown problems. Since there are only two members (including me) in my group and we have 3 pages notes needed to publish, Julie and I are very busy in this work. By the time when today's class ends, we just publish one piece of our notes. I feel a little frustrated because we cannot work out the problem in class. Fortunately, I modify the content of our posting and at last it can be published when I back home and try it again and again. Perhaps this is the spirit of today's class topic “Creativity and Production.” Though our postings are not as splendid as other groups', we have tried our best. As for the third class, we discuss which option we would like to choose as our final project. And it's so subtle that Julie and I just sit beside each other but we communicate with each other just through Tapped In! Finally, we decide to design a lesson to help young ESL learners create their own stories. We will use WebQuest format and I think teacher's project that she show us today is a very good example for us to imitate.
After today's class, it also makes me realize the importance of “teamwork.” I really think Julie is a great partner because she teaches me many things that I do not know. I am a slow-paced leaner and cannot get into one situation easily. What's more, we just have two members in this group, so we need to hurry up in order to catch up other groups. When other groups have four people to brainstorm together, we just have two brains. So I feel a little busy as well as lonely! Two people in a group has its own merits and demerits, but now I think its disadvantages outweigh its advantages, at least from today's experience. Given this, we should work harder and harder than other groups, and hopefully I can get into the situation much more quickly.
