Pedagogical concerns
The document discusses pedagogical concerns for using computers in the classroom. It addresses the role of computers as virtual teachers to promote autonomous learning. Teachers see computers as complementary tools rather than replacements. Software programs have been created to help guide teachers and provide comprehensive language teaching without human intervention, however computers are still limited and cannot fully replace teachers. The level of student trust depends on the instructional model used in software.
Ciooperative learning and it
Students work in small groups towards a common goal or task, with elements like a group goal, positive interdependence, promotive interaction, individual accountability, and social skills. Teachers play a role in cooperative learning by facilitating student groups and providing instructional support and feedback to guide student learning. Cooperative learning does not always naturally occur when students use computers together, so teachers must structure activities and roles to promote cooperation among students working on IT tasks.
Reflection 2
The document reflects on four issues discussed in module 2 readings regarding reflective practice:
1) The use of social media for personal reflection, noting potential concerns about how information is presented.
2) The lack of research examining constructivism as the supporting theory for reflective models like Schon's.
3) The challenge of developing online skills for reflective practice in online learning.
4) The complexity experienced by educators in facilitating reflective skills development in students.

E-learning Implimentation
To create an effective e-learning program, an organization needs faculty who are fully qualified to teach online and interested in online instruction, leadership with clear expectations, and ways to engage students in meaningful and collaborative learning through challenges, curiosity and participation. Successful programs utilize technology as a tool for learning, communication and collaboration and use interactive elements like simulations, roleplaying and games to keep students engaged, while evaluations assess student understanding. Program design should not be "cookie-cutter" and consider the nature of online innovation and capturing student attention through various approaches.
The Effect of WebQuests on EFL Reading Ability
Teachers are being challenged to find ways to integrate the use of ICT into their teaching to both address these outcomes and enhance what they have previously done on their classrooms. One approach to the use of the Internet that has a lot of potentials for both teachers and learners is the Web Quest. This study aimed at verifying (1) whether the students would be interested in reading texts extensively in English; (2) whether an interactive constructivist environment would make a difference in an extensive reading task. This quasi-experimental study examined the effect of the Web Quest in extensive reading. The experiment and control subjects were from two different classes attending the fifth semester of English department at STKIP PGRI Jombang, Indonesia. The results showed that there is no statistical difference between the groups (p=0.575). The results also indicated that both approaches (the Web Quest and traditional) lead to learning and both are valuable teaching strategies. The results showed that the majority of students in both groups had some difficulties in reading in English. General comments follow the next discussion and end with conclusion and suggestion which might be beneficial for language learners and EFL practitioners.

A Study on the Effect of Combination of Pair Programming with Learning Styles...Association of Scientists, Developers and Faculties
Peer tutoring strategy changes the role of instructors no matter what the instructor is an educator or a peer. The well-known method in computer science education, pair programming, is some kind of effective collaborative peer tutoring activity. The advantages of peer tutoring method emphasize similar prior knowledge and languages among peers so as to achieve teaching goals. Data Structure is a very important basic curriculum, regarded as a mandatory course in relevant computer domains of university. However, most of students fail to present their coding skills after learning data structure course. Cooperative learning is an effective learning strategy in which is often applied to education field. Students must work in groups to complete tasks collectively toward academic goals. Pair Programming could decrease errors in coding, increase coding quality and promote programmers confidence, as well as enhance their coding ability. This study incorporates an experimental learning activity, in which the students are asked to write programming codes, which can enhance students’ learning motivation. Then, this study compares the performance of the students with different learning
styles in learning motivation. According the results of Two-way ANOVA, the proposed intervention could increase students learning performance. The reflective-style students could have better learning achievement than active-style ones.Elearn21st c jul11
