Comparing with past years, classrooms changed a lot, in order to meet students' exception, the new technology involved in school planning.]]> 2017-10-05 03:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/szheng4/7furwbsg8aak/wish/194142277 szheng4 https://padlet.com/szheng4/7furwbsg8aak/wish/194151687  How does the new technology influence on students? In order to figure out this question, I invited 4 my previous students to be my interviewer, some of them are from China and the other are American; 4 of them are high school level, about 15-17 years old. With their help, I got new perspectives on this issue. During the interviewing, I asked them some questions as follows: 

1.  How often do you use technology products? 
2. What tools do you use in school and for what purposes?
3.  Do you think using technology makes school more interesting? If so, how?
4. What devices do you want to use most in school?

Students told me that school provided some technology products already, but that is not enough. Chinese students said they always use projectors in the classroom, but they do not have any chances to use other products, smartphones and tablets and computers are regarded as taboos. However, for American students, the situation is a little better. they could use computers or tablets on classes. In Multimedia Classroom, they have chances to use remote to answer questions or sign up. They showed they have strong interesting to learn through technology tools; and they indicated if more technologies could be involved in school,  they would like to go to school. ]]> 2017-10-05 05:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/szheng4/7furwbsg8aak/wish/194154280 szheng4 https://padlet.com/szheng4/7furwbsg8aak/wish/194158576 I know what I am doing...
"Since I always watching my smartphone, my mom mad with my behaviors, because, in her opinion, the only thing I can do with my phone is just for fun, games, blogs or movies. But that is not true, I downloaded many effective Apps which could help me study, like Duolingo and Shanbay to learn languages. they are helpful."
"My tablet is every to me, l wish I could be a writer and a cartoonist, so I always bring my tablet with, whenever I have inspiration， I will use tablets to record it. "
"I am getting tired of the way teachers teach, repeated and repeated, I hope new innovations pop up. Compared with the same way of teaching, I prefer to self-study.

After this interview, I figure out how technology impact on students. As an adult or educator, we regarded smartphones, tablets and other device have bad effects on students’ learning, on the contrary,  they could rely on modern technology to self-learning. With the development of science and technology, the society highly expectation on people who master the technology. Furthermore, The main shortcoming of the traditional teaching model is paid much attention to the result, but ignore the process, so this kind of teaching method cannot be accepted by new generations. We must innovate new teaching strategy to inspire students‘ enthusiasm for learning, for example, we should involve more technology in classes, it not just could enrich our class to draw students attention, but also could Cultivate students' abilities. Additionally, adjust the goal to focus on the learning processes, rather the results.  ]]> 2017-10-05 06:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/szheng4/7furwbsg8aak/wish/194162524
