Yesterday we worked hard until after midnight but we found it both challenging and interesting. This morning we all got up early and were ready to start our presentation.
With our high collaboration spirit and great efforts, we go through the Powerpoint smoothly. Somewhere during our work, the mouse cannot be used. Fortunately, no serious problem comes up. 15 minutes passes so quickly that hardly do we think our task has been completed. Upon reflection, we all feel pleased with what has been done. The class’s contribution to our group is quite positive and constructive. We get them involved in our presentation through their many follow-up questions. For instance, Maria suggests we should not include too many websites in the Webquest and this is really the matter we have given much thought. In response, we explain that 25 Websites are placed in 5 categories, which means each group of students just chooses one kind and work with about 5 sites. We appreciate the whole class’s comments on our presentation. We ourselves also thank all other groups for giving us a good opportunity to learn new things from their well-prepared projects.
If we had more time, we could put more decorations and effects on our Powerpoint. About the topic, so far we think it requires no changes. We will try our best to make the project better and more practical.

The first thing I want to say here is " I love my group" which has a great coporation. I hope that team-work spirit will be much better.
Secondly, I must say that our presentation today is a success although we have some small problem with technology. Don't worry technology always has problem as our teacher said. I myself get more experiences in presenting and expressing my ideas. Once again, I want to sent to all of members in our group a sincere thank for help me be more confident when speak in front of class. Love you ^^

Frankly, using computers and applying technology in language teaching are of my great interests. Consequently, I am fond of being in charge of technological issues such as slide design and WebQuest. Now, what has impressed me much after the presentation is the way we apply technology into helping my students in the university. In the PowerPoint presentation, we make good use of WebQuest for students at Pre-Intermediate level. I fully understand that WebQuest in particular, technology in general will be a good tool only if the teacher energetically, methodologically and wisely use those with a focus on students’ language learning and acquisition.

It is so wonderful that our group has done a great job so far. Hope that all is well that ends well. At first, we was a little bit confused about the topic, the skills we will focus on, yet today we have all settled and the result is quite clear through our presentation. Of course, it is just the skeletons for a whole big project because we still have a long way to go. With our endless enthusiasm, good team spirit and high motivation, we wish to collaborate to make a sound final product.

I have had a great time this week though I have to work very hard everyday till midnight. In the short time, our group have put great effort in preparing for the presentation today. We work with a highly cooperated and serious spirit during process. I think our group have done a good job. We were a little bit nervous at first but when the time for presentation comes, we all were very confident and we made our presentation go smoothly. We have applied many technology from the unit into our project. And in the procedure of making our CD product, we would make the most of those technology.

Right, I completely agree with my groups. I like this unit most. Although it took only 5 days, my friends and I learned a lot of things, not only technology but also methodology in CALL. After presentations of every group in class, I myself get more experiences and many new ideas to adapt our project. I hope our group can make it better in the procedure, activities and technology apllication. What I really hope is I can use all of these in my real class. I am so excited and want to apply it soon. But I guess it must take time and effort to reach the success of teaching and learning English. The thing that I always keep in my mind is that technology is just a tool like a pen. Teachers should know how to use it effectively. Today we sum up the main idea as well as the purpose of TiLT.
Love you all, my dear friends and Ms Marta.

Thanks for your kind comments to our group presentation. We like your presentation too, especially your slide was beautifully designed and the interesting way you interacted with class in your presentation.
I have already sent you via email feedback on your presentation and project. I hope you all got it.
Good blog. Good reflections. I like the pictures!!. Rememebr, though, that if you post pictures of someone on the Internet you should ask them for permission to do it. It surprised me to see myself. :) But it is ok, I do not mind them :)
Happy new year.
