I've read three teachers' blogs. here are my comments.
Zhu Feng talked about chatting . She feels excited about learning this technology, but she doesn't think it possible to use it in Englih class in CUMTB for the lack of computer equipment and also computer literacy of both teachers and students.
Lilian also talked about the problems of using chatting in teaching due to the large of number of students . But on the other side , she mentions the benefits of using chatting, which helps teachers provide more information to students and solve students problems.
Chen has a positive opinion on using technology in class. She thinks that it helps teaching and learning . Audio materials, video films , Mp3 files are quite useful in her class for thought provoking. Beneficial as it is, it cannot replace learnign and teaching. That is what it has in Chen's mind.
I quite agree with three studnets' comments. We enjoy using technology in class, but we have our own problems which cannot be solved in CUMTB. So we'll try using it in class when both teachers and students have computer literacy, when the equipment is avaible, when the size of the class is small.
