I have used Microsoft Teams since I was a high school student. Now, I am surprised at the many kinds of functions of Teams. It has many useful systems.

One of the most helpful parts is that we can communicate easily. When I was a high school student, there has many online classes by Teams because of COVID-19. I could see the screen clearly and understand what to do with the microphones and cameras from teachers. Moreover, Microsoft Teams can give us a lot of assignments. I think that the speaking assignments are helpful to improve my English speaking skills. I found it in this university. Many functions from Microsoft Teams support learning a lot.

In the current education, the use of electronic devices such as computers for learning has become the standard. In the university, we are using different websites for each lecture. I had not experienced learning with electronic devices until high school, so I still cannot become one in many areas. The submission process and rules differ from teacher to teacher, which can often be confusing. It is convenient, but sometimes confused.

I often use laptop and iPad when study. Especially now, I write a lot of reports on the laptop because I take a chemistry experiment class. In university, professors demand students “think by yourself”. So, I use degital devaices in many time to share my opinion. Befor university education, I did often Drill and Practice by using notes and pencil because exam is handwritten.

I am so surprised by the difference between high school and college.

Because in my experience in high school, I didn’t use any ICT in class and for homework. Even in Covid-19 era, I didn’t experience synchronous learning such as zoom. In contrast, almost every class use ICT for submitting assignments and confirming attendance. We learned in GEL classes, there are advantages and disadvantages to using ICT. So that l employ different methods adapting to the situation. I keep using a paper dictionary still, for example.

Also, I am surprised when I watch the elementary school students study well with ICT in their elementary school life. Given that even young children are now skilled in using ICT, it is needed that ICT education will become increasingly widespread.

I am very surprised by the current university’s education system that uses computers and AI.

Because most of the classes need to use laptops and submit the assignment within a site designated by the university (for example, LCU, Microsoft Glexa, g.comasin.com, etc…). When I was high school student, Almost all homework and examination was submitted on paper.

And also, AI, I am surprised. I thought that AI (for example chatGPT, DeepL and so on) were always prohibited in university. But Some teachers permit the use of AI to correct English sentence.

通信教育のメールは理科の教科が理解できません。私のお気に入りのクラスです。トライさんの優秀な先生が無料で分かりやすく教えてくれます。しかし、教科書通りの授業で授業が終わるので、時々心配になります。ですから、応用問題を試すのは困難です。そして、難しい質問をすると、動画を開くのが面倒だと思います。皆さんはどのように対処していますか?
