Software Evaluation

This week I presented my Call-software evaluation in class. Before doing this work, I had collected, and searched a lot of information from the materials, and Studio Classroom-Advanced. I felt this was a very hard assignment, since I never did this evaluation before. On the other hand, since I have studied in English, this media has been companied me for a long time which motivate me to know and understand this software. After the evaluation, I found the media there are some points need to improve them. From the presentation, the professor gave us some advice that our content's element is enough but our criteria part is too weak to convince the audience. So next week, I need to work hard to integrate our whole material to finish our work, Call-software evaluation.

I choose Internet Activities, WebQuests, for my software evaluation.

Criteria for CALL

Today I learned the Principles for CALL evaluatio. I agree that criteria should be accompanied by guidance and be applied in view of the purpose of the task. Teacher introduced us the Criteria for CALL task appropriateness. There are 6 items- Language learning potential, Learner fit, Meaning focus, Authenticity, Positive impact, Practicality. I think which is good for us to do the criteria. The Magazine-Studio Classroom Advanced is my critized item. So I expected I can do a good Criteria on this well-know Magazine.
