<strong>This assignment focusing on implementing technology in the classroom proved to be dynamic, effective, and beneficial for everyone involved.

<strong>-To Improve Teaching Effect.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><strong>2.There are Problems Arising From Application of Multimedia Technology to English Teaching.</strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: blue;"></span></strong><br />
<strong> <span style="color: #660000;"> </span><span style="color: #990000;">Major Means Replaced by the Assisting One.</span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">Application of multimedia technology is an assisting instrument to achieve the projected teaching effect. If totally dependent on multimedia devices duing teaching, the teachers may be turned into slaves to the multimedia and can not play the leading role in teaching.</span><strong><span style="color: #e69138;"> </span></strong></strong></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong><strong><span style="color: #e69138;"> </span><span style="color: #990000;"> </span></strong></strong></span></span></span><br />

<strong></strong><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><strong>Language teaching is different from science subjects, for language teaching does not require demonstration by various steps, rather, the tense and orderly atmosphere is formed through questions and answers between teachers and students.</strong></span></strong></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong><span style="color: #e69138;"><br />
</span><strong><span style="color: #e69138;"> </span><span style="color: #990000;"> Abstract Thinking Replaced by Imaginal Thinking.</span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;">The process of cognition goes through perceptual stage and rational stage. It also applies to studying process.</span></strong></strong></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong>3.There are Suggestions and Strategies to the Existing Problems.</strong><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #e69138;"><span style="color: black;"><br />

<strong> </strong><strong><span style="color: #990000;">The Beauty of Courseware Is not the Sole Pursuit.</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #990000;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #e69138;">The introduction to each lesson and speaking communication are good way to improve students' listening and apeaking which the computer cannot fulfill. Therefor, teachers' interpretation shall not be overlooked</span><span style="color: #990000;"> </span></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"> <span style="color: blue;"> </span><strong><span style="color: #990000;">The Computer Screen can't Substitute the Blackboard.</span></strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #990000;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Teachers<strong> need to enrich the content on the blackboard eith emerging of new questions raised by the students.</strong></span></span><strong><span style="color: #e69138;"><strong> </strong><strong><strong><strong><strong> </strong></strong></strong></strong></span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;"><strong><strong><strong><strong> <span style="color: #660000;"> </span><span style="color: #990000;"><strong><strong>Power Point can not Take the Place of Student's Thinking and Practices.</strong></strong></span><br />
<br />
<strong>Teachers need to encourage the students to use their own mind and speak more, actively join in class practice; we should not overuse the courseware merely in the hope of adding the modernized feature to class teaching.</strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"> Traditional Teaching instruments and Devices should not be Overlooked.</span></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e69138;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Teachers are supposed to choose appropriate media and instrument based on the requirements of teaching and integrate multimedia instrument.<br />
</span><strong><br />
</strong></span></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></strong><span style="color: #990000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong> Multimedia Technology should not be Overused.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #990000;"></span></strong><strong><strong><strong><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;"><strong><strong>The more interference of teaching information during transmission, the less the students take from the language materials.</strong></strong></span></strong></strong></strong><strong><span style="color: blue;"><br />

<strong><br />
<span style="color: #e69138;">College English teaching is to set up a harmonious and high-effective teaching atmosphere in the English class to make students take part in the practice. Thus we can cultivate their listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities, which are the final teaching aim-developing the students' English intercommunicative ability.<br />

<dt><b>Personal blogs</b></dt>
<dd><span style="color: black;">The personal blog, an ongoing diary or commentary by an individual, is the traditional, most common blog. Personal bloggers usually take pride in their blog posts, even if their blog is never read. Blogs often become more than a way to just communicate; they become a way to reflect on life, or works of art. Blogging can have a sentimental quality. Few personal blogs rise to fame and the mainstream but some personal blogs quickly garner an extensive following. One type of personal blog, referred to as a microblog, is extremely detailed and seeks to capture a moment in time. Some sites, such as </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Twitter" title="Twitter"><span style="color: black;">Twitter</span></a><span style="color: black;">, allow bloggers to share thoughts and feelings instantaneously with friends and family, and are much faster than emailing or writing.</span></dd></dl><dl style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><dt><span style="color: black;"></span> </dt>
<dt><b><span style="color: black;">Corporate and organizational blogs</span></b></dt>

Blogs used internally to enhance the communication and culture in a </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Corporation" title="Corporation"><span style="color: black;">corporation</span></a><span style="color: black;"> or externally for </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Marketing" title="Marketing"><span style="color: black;">marketing</span></a><span style="color: black;">, </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Brand" title="Brand"><span style="color: black;">branding</span></a><span style="color: black;"> or </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Public_relations" title="Public relations"><span style="color: black;">public relations</span></a><span style="color: black;"> purposes are called </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Corporate_blog" title="Corporate blog"><span style="color: black;">corporate blogs</span></a><span style="color: black;">.

<dd><span style="color: black;">The collective community of all blogs is known as the <i>blogosphere</i>. Since all blogs are on the internet by definition, they may be seen as interconnected and socially networked, through </span><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Blogroll" title="Blogroll"><span style="color: black;">blogrolls</span></a><span style="color: black;">, comments, </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Linkback" title="Linkback"><span style="color: black;">linkbacks</span></a><span style="color: black;"> (refbacks, trackbacks or pingbacks) and </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Backlink" title="Backlink"><span style="color: black;">backlinks</span></a><span style="color: black;">. Discussions "in the blogosphere" are occasionally used by the media as a gauge of public opinion on various issues.

<dt><b><span style="color: black;">BlogDay</span></b></dt>
<dd><span style="color: black;">Blogday.org was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. The designated date is August 31, because when written 3108, it resembles the word "Blog". On that day, bloggers recommend five new blogs to their visitors, so that readers discover new, previously unknown blogs.</span></dd></dl><dl><dt> </dt>

The popularity of blogs has also given rise to </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/wiki/Fake_blog" title="Fake blog"><span style="color: black;">"fake blogs"</span></a><span style="color: black;"> in which a company will create a fictional blog as a marketing tool to promote a product.</span></dd></dl> <b style="color: lime;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Reference</span> </b>: <span style="color: black;"></span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog"><span style="color: black;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog</span></a></div><div class="rellink relarticle mainarticle"></div><div class="rellink relarticle mainarticle"></div><h1 class="entry-title" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>An Answer to What is a Blog Anyway?</b></span></h1><div class="rellink relarticle mainarticle"><span style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">A blog is Like A Magazine or Newspaper Column</span></b></span></div><div class="rellink relarticle mainarticle"></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Do you get asked, “What is a blog anyway?”</b> I found a new answer to that question (it should work especially well for those over age 30 or so). A blogger is like a magazine or newspaper columnist, and a blog is kind of like a newspaper or magazine column, but on the Internet, instead of a hard copy publication. Instead of having to convince an editor or publication to publish their column, a blogger (i.e.columnist) can put up their own blog online for anyone to read (i.e a column). Like columns – blogs are usually a mix of opinion and facts/useful information.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><h3><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Blog Comments are Like Letters to the Editor</b></span></h3>Another way that blogs are like newspapers and magazines columns: <b>a blogs”comments” section is like the letters to the editor.</b> There is one advantage over letters to the editor though…many blogs are set so that comments are posted online instantly, you don’t have to wait a month to see if the editor chose your letter. Just like letters to the editor, comments can be positive, can add more to the conversation, or they can be from people who disagree with you.<br />
I got this idea when I picked up a book from the 1980′s “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Write-Column-Writers-Basic-Bookshelf/dp/0898792959/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1289921157&sr=8-1" target="_self" title="Amazon link- used book very cheap">How To Write and Sell a Column</a>” – if you substituted blog for column in the book – except for the need to sell it to an editor – many ideas in the book works for ideas for blogging. And even the “pitch an editor” tips might help you land a good guest blogger spot on a larger online publication, you might even get paid for it.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><div style="color: blue;"><b>Synchronous Tools</b></div><br />
Synchronous tools enable real-time communication and collaboration in a "same time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect at a single point in time, at the same time. Synchronous tools possess the advantage of being able to engage people instantly and at the same point in time. The primary drawback of synchronous tools is that, by definition, they require same-time participation -different time zones and conflicting schedules can create communication challenges. In addition, they tend to be costly and may require significant bandwidth to be efficient.<br />

<br />
<div style="color: blue;"><b>Asynchronous Tools</b></div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div>Asynchronous tools enable communication and collaboration over a period of time through a "different time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect together at each person's own convenience and own schedule. Asynchronous tools are useful for sustaining dialogue and collaboration over a period of time and providing people with resources and information that are instantly accessible, day or night. Asynchronous tools possess the advantage of being able to involve people from multiple time zones. In addition, asynchronous tools are helpful in capturing the history of the interactions of a group, allowing for collective knowledge to be more easily shared and distributed. The primary drawback of asynchronous technologies is that they require some discipline to use when used for ongoing communities of practice (e.g., people typically must take the initiative to "login" to participate) and they may feel "impersonal" to those who prefer higher-touch synchronous technologies.<br />

</tbody> </table><br />
A significant step beyond this smorgasbord of individual tools are web-based platforms that aim to provide some or most of the functionality of these standalone tools, but do so within a single integrated collaborative environment. The integration and synthesis of these tools creates a container that turns out to be far greater than the sum of its parts and can become the single portal for all community activities. Going beyond the hodgepodge of individual technologies can elevate members' experiences by encouraging collaborative learning and knowledge sharing.<br />
