I agree with your idea. Wiki accepts more people's interaction. This means it is a good idea to apply the use of Wiki for group activities! Weebly also achieves collaborative group learning like project-based assignment, or just simply a classroom website for a particular topic.
I also thought Big six theory was clearer. It shapes any learning stage and provides what will be strategies to apply.

Hello, tokyo345! Thank you for the comment.
I think that Big six is one of the important teaching tools in elearning. Teachers, especially whose teaching areas are not related to computers, should know this strategy in order to teaching globally and effectively.
I agree with you. I often use PowerPoint as a learning tool in my class. In my opinion, when I use PowerPoint, I can get more attentions from students. Using PowerPoint relates to bahaviour management for me. Students watch the PowerPoint slides carefully so they cannot be noisy.
Actually, it is good point that PowerPoint could manage students’ behaviour as well. However, that means that teachers should create slides clearly and directly to key points. Otherwise, slides can make students confused and will make classroom chaos…
Since my first discipline is also Japanese, I agree with your way of using the picture above.
The pedagogical use of images and podcast is what I would like to try in my future teaching. Authentic experience is what students need to gain when they learn, and teachers have to give those experiences in the context of teaching. When we examined the usefulness of the two applications, I thought it would be a wonderful idea to use for resource sharing.
As Piaget’s theory also mentioned that students learn something new by their previous knowledge. If their previous Japanese knowledge was based on authentic topics, the learning will be more familiar for them; therefore, they will find fun in studying. When they find fun in studying, the learning outcomes will be gained easily, which is also Piaget’s theory.
I agree with you. YouTube is one of effective tools for teaching. Students would be interested in watching YouTube clips in classes. In my opinion, Visual learning is easy to understand for many students. So, using YouTube videos in classes are going work effectively for students' learning.
Thank you, tae23.
I am pretty sure that most of students in classes are visual learners due to technology improvement. Also, we have saying: 'The picture is worth a thousand words'!
