After a whole semester of CALL and other classes which overwhelmed me, it is nice to breath a little and reflect on what has been accomplished. The number of exposures to tools and programs was more than adequate. The basic question comes down to what had meaning and will continue so that it does not [...]

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last post…so little time and so much to do on the CALL. It is not the workload but the fact that there is more time being spent to troubleshoot and follow the links to understand. Although this is probably natural since this is a ‘hands-on’ type of [...]

It is amazing what a little encouragement does to a human being. It sort of makes them a bit lighter and forget that a job is waiting for them. Today, after all the thinking that I had about what to do for my blog, I got some comments which perked me up.

After a month of feeling alone and rather slow at dealing with the technology, I finally got a chance to receive a feedback from SueWaters which made me like a person. I guess we all need some sort of acknowledgement or support.
Speaking of support, the articles by Toyoda and Jones on learner autonomy was my [...]

Reading the literatures on call had me thinking for awhile that it is very similar to all that we have been talking about. The essential point of asking for assistance and guidance comes from the fact that my web literacy is low and needed to be upgraded. As Levy, Reinhardt, et.al., have indicated, there is [...]

I have spent the last hour typing my thoughts about the readings on a new page. Then it disappeared because the connection had been broken and I didn’t realize it. Lesson learned is to type on word and then paste to blog. For next time.

It is impossible. There are so many glitches in playing with these tools. Several days, I’ve been trying to open the wiki page but no luck. It seems to be all trial and error; nothing is for sure. Isn’t this a little bit trying on the nerves, especially when time is so precious.
Blogging is getting [...]

With fear and uncertainty I am forced to take the first steps. It’s a big step since I am not a tech buff and have had very little practice except when necessary. That is the key…only when necessary does one take the step to acquaint oneself with the mysterious world of CALL. I have read [...]
