Personal Reflection 2

From this assignment, I learned about the concept of social bookmarking's benefit. Before I did this assignment, I did not know about the Diigo and the social bookmarking system. While I was looking around other classmates' bookmarking, I could learn what others learned. I checked every bookmarking from other classmates, and I learned some different concepts.
I think social bookmarking system is good for sharing information and knowlege between people who have similar interest or goal. I also thought that this social bookmarking program will be really helpful for this class to expand my learning. It will give me many benefits by sharing various information.  Even though this class is held online, I could share different information or opinion due to this social bookmarking system and learn more. After I was done with this assignment, I realized that the development of technology take an important part in education field. Since many technologies help teachers to teach students effectively whether in plain class or online class, teachers should know how to apply many technologies in class. I as a future teacher should know the technologies as well as learn how to use them.

Personal Reflection

From this week assignment, I became familiar with many terms relating to eLearning. First of all, I learned the definition of netiquette exactly. I searched information to defind this term, and I realized that the meaning of netiquette is not simply as I thought. I thought netiquette is a term that indicates only the way of communication among people on the internet. However, now I know that the netiquette means every manners that people treat other people or information on the internet. Eventually, netiquette includes every actions that occurs on the internet. I also learned many terms that is related to eLearning and technology. I tried to find definition of 'eLearning', 'Learning Community', and 'Formative Evaluation'. Learning these vocabulary will help me to understand to learn what the eLearning means. Throgh this assignment, I became friendly with these terms and learned  the importance of netiquette.

My Biography

I was born in 1988 in Southern Korea. After I was born, my grandfather named me Hyerin Suk which means twinkling wisdom. My family wants me to be wise as I grow. In 1995, I entered elementary school in my hometown and graduated in 2000. When I was sixth grade of elementary school, I wanted to be a simultaneous interpreter because I was interested in English. My mom introduced me an young lady as an English teacher when I was 8 years old. My private English tutor was really nice and kind to me so that I could be interested in learning English. Due to her hard job, English was my favorite subject at school.

However, after I entered middle school, my future dream has changed. I saw many English teachers in school, and I hoped to be an English teacher in my future instead of a simutaneous interpreter. Still my favorite subject was English at that time. During the English class, I enjoyed it very much. When I told my family about my future dream, they glad to hear that. I felt I was supported by my family. In the high school, I studied English harder to major in English in the university. Finally, I entered the university majoring in English Literature. I was really happy that I can focus on only studying English. All my family members were happy too with my successful enter to the university. After I entered my university, I applied for Education course to get English Education degree. During the univeristy life, I would like to come to the U.S. to learn English deeply and get more life experience. So I came to the U.S. a year ago, taking time off school. I think my choice to come to the U.S. was a great one since I can learn about eLearning, taking this course. I am happy now because I can learn more. With these my experience, I will be an English teacher in Korea.
