[Week 10] Experience from Ebistro

http://ebistro.org/index.html

---------------------> this is the website has different kinds of activities layout the form of WebQuest. It was impressive that the website was creative, theme as restaurant, also well organized with all the activities that we did throughout this class.

However, I did not really like this website. As the first visiting this website, I did not really know what kinds of information each section has - so you need to play around to figure out. If I was the owner of this website, I should add one sentence explanation underneath the title to let people know what kinds of information each section has.

[Week 10] Useful Websites

----> this website has four different categories for different age or standard group, Educator, Students, Parents and After School. Each category contain several sub-categories: activities, games and homework. Also teachers can find the sample lessons plans. So not only for teachers using the website, but also other groups also get helped from this.

[Week 9] Podcast

Podcast is a collection of individual audio episodes typically recorded and edited on a computer and then uploaded to a web server.

People can listen to the podcast using ipod or the computer. This will help with people, especially students. For example, they could record the lectures from school and put on their ipod to listen while they are outside or they could practice in language (pronunciation). Not only creating by themselves, they could download podcast that others created and uploaded in the internet.

Not only for studying reason, podcast could be used to communicate with others on their life or the areas they are interested and share with others.

They could record on daily life, like interesting events to share with others.

Because in the process of creating the podcast, people uses the different digital tools to edit and put the musics, this helps to be the digital native as well as the better communicator.
