My process of becoming in CALL is ongoing. It is a dynamic and fluid process that takes on a non-linear approach. I have begun to see the interconnection between technology and (language) learning. There remains a sense of unpredictability, uncertainty, and ambiguity when engaging in technology, however, the possibilities are endless.

Technology could also blur boundaries that may be present. For instance, those who have a hard time speaking in class, may feel more comfortable engaging in an online format.

One aspect to consider is the adjustment to technology. With constant emerging technology, there is the risk of not keeping up-to-date with technology.

Technology could connect learners from around the world and different parts of the country. For example, I was able to communicate with my peer and collaborate through the means of technology.

Some disadvantages outlined by Indrawati on the website (2008) include:
- lack of trained teachers
- difficulty in handling unexpected situations

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the advantages of CALL according to Indrawati (2008) on the website are:
- increased interest and motivation
- individualization
- a compatible learning style
- optimal use of learning time
- immediate feedback
- guided and repetitive practice

I am beginning to gain a sense of awareness of my use of technology as well as the profound benefits of including technology in the classroom. While CALL is an important aspect to consider, what are the advantages and disadvantages of CALL?

# data[].attributes.body
The flipped classroom is something I would like to undertake in my own teaching practices. There are many benefits of including this pedagogical approach including, more collaboration time for the students, promoting a pace that is suitable for the learner, and more one-on-one time with the student(s). Technology could surely enhance this form of learning.

CALL is an acronym for Computer Assisted Language Learning (Levy & Hubbard 2005). CALL is promoted as a way that allows learners to manipulate language and practice using emerging technologies to enahance their learning (Levy & Stockwell, 1997). CALL offers possibilities for language learners that were perhaps inconceivable before. For example, having pop-up glossaries/dictionaries and other support(s) that allow for flexibility in the learning.

Technology allows for a great deal of interconnectivity. The word that comes to mind when thinking about interconnection in technology is collaboration. Throughout the course, collaboration with my Peer was crucial to ensuring the success of our prototype.

Technology, now more than ever is extremely prominent in the classroom. Given the rise of online/distant learning, being technologically proficient is nearly a necessity. In my own teaching practices, I promote various tools that could enhance language learning (e.g., Google Read & Write, Translation Apps, etc.).

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, technology was not that prominent in my years of schooling. When technology was being introduced into classrooms/computer labs, it was mainly used for the purposed of typing. It was not until my later years in university that online reading (and aspects such as Google Read and Write) were introduced. Online research was becomoming more prominent in my schooling experience.

My initial conceptualization of technology was broad. I understood it as a way that connects people around the world and could be used as a way to enhance learning opportunities, I just did not know how. Given the limited use of technology in my schooling experiences, my learning of technology has been widely self-directed.
