I have to say that up until now, I have been very resistent to and intimidated by using much technology in my teaching. I prefer face to face interactions and teaching assignments. What has changed for me is the chance and challenge to reach out to language learners on the other side of the earth - people who want the chance to interact with a native speaker of English, but who don't have the means to get to a university where they could do it face to face. This challenge has ignited my desire to learn the technology needed to accomplish this and in so doing I think it will pull me up to date with the use of these technologies. I am therefore a novice in the learning of the various ways that lesson plans, instruction and assignments can be put online. I am looking forward to this course and learning the technology.
