Interesting topics this week.
First we covered learning autonomy.
Learner autonomy consists in becoming aware of, and identifying, one's
strategies, needs, and goals as a learner, and having the opportunity to
reconsider and refashion approaches and procedures for optimal learning (Candy,
1991).
I encourage my students to do their learning autonomy by facilitating
them with technology, for examples, asking them to read some article through
internet, answer the questions or do some exercises, and search some other
online references.
One-computer classroom helps teachers manage lesson materials, lesson
plans, teaching media, handouts, test items, etc, also students' applications.

We really know that all those mobile devices are very important nowadays
in our modern school era. Today's mobiles technologies can be employed for
language learning purposes.
We were introduced to a wonderful tool which promotes autonomous
learning. Padlet works as a virtual display bulletin board. It can be used by
the teacher to post assignments, notices, homework, articles, videos, etc. for
the class to see. The students can use the platform to post their project work, submit assigments, upload their homework. It is so simple to use.
Hello, Edith!
