Our website
Our website aims at guiding students from reading to writing. The input: the book "A Christmas Carol" + website(warming up, background, reading quizzes, forum activities,teaching of how to write a summary and bookreport) = book report. Though it was quite tough to build this website(this is my first english teaching website), i enjoy a lot because i can work with nice people: claire, joedy and robbie. They are so tolerant to my idiotic questions. They are really smart and nice people.
Autonmy
Learning with IT can certainly enable studetns to learn with autonmy. They can choose the topic to learning and choose the most effective and comfortable learning speed to them. Moreover, they can also access to different types of online references while learning.
However, teacher's role should not be marginalized. We are always told that teachers are facilitators who enables learning and students are always the centre of learning. I think teachers also take the role as regulators. In modern classrooms, students are highly autonomized. Teachers should help them to choose by giving clear CILOs and learning objectives. Moreover, school teacher should also indicate the core part of learning. At the mean time, teahcers should also provide different kinds of graded exercise or assistance in order to cater the needs of different learners.
