I have a lot of assignments of online in the university. I heve a good point and bad point about my assignmrnt.

First, I can feel free to do my assignments when I have free time. It is useful for me to submit my assignment.

Second, sometimes I don’t know how to submit or how to solve problems due to system problems.

I have not really experience forums when I was a high school student. It is because the classes were almost to seek using practical skills in my high school. Although, art competitions have become held on the Internet since due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to hand in our works to the art competition with their pictures. I felt sad that our works were rated to be seen only with pictures. I had not painted with all my might because even if I drew it in detail, the judges can’t look the effort. There is a limit to the image quality of the pictures. It is not good for education. If you are acquired better skills for students, it is better to make an opportunity that they can watch works directly.

                        However, I believe they are good tools for learning. I’m starting to use forums for learning from when it is started the classes in the college. It is efficient to learn something. It is valid what I can learn anytime I want or I can review it if I can’t understand the contents.

                            Therefore, I believe it is really efficient for learning but it is not good to evaluate our works. It is important to consider the purposes.

In university classes, I have to submit my assignments online. However, it has a lot of problems.

First, errors often occur but professors don’t realize it. When it happens, it’s difficult to submit the assignment and our grade will be lower. Also, technical mistakes are not discovered by people so we have many problems getting responses and feedback from students and teachers.

Second, some students find it difficult to submit homework at their home because of the gap in the internet environment. It is unfair that students in a bad environment get lower grades.

All the reasons mentioned above, the system students submit assignments online is inconvenient.

I started to use ICT materials in education after COVID-19, however, my high school did not often use technology in education before it. After COVID-19, we used Google Classroom and Google Meet in some classes, but not often. My high school tried to use ICT in education after the closure of a school because of COVID-19, so in the term of closure a school we did not have enough equipment and experience. Consequently, we had difficulties to make good use of it.
After I entered this university, I had more opportunities to use ICT materials in the classes, for example, we had classes via Zoom, use our laptops in the classes to make slides, answering questions such as e-learning. At first, I could not make full use of it, but I can use it better than before.
I think it is effective to learn because we can study everywhere and every time, also the class uses the movie about the content related to the class, and we can watch it whenever we want to. However, it has not only advantages but also disadvantages. There are some people who do not study by themselves, so arises a difference between people who study and not.
Therefore, I have some experience using ICT in education. I want to use it more effectively when I study at this university and after being an English teacher in the future.

After I entered this university, I was surprised that ICT is used so much in classes. It was beyond my expectation.

I hardly used ICT when I was in high school. Assignments were always real paper, most of teachers teached with blackbords and we were took notes on the notebooks. The style of classes and study are totally different compared to my experiences.

Sometimes, there are troubles using computers for study. I still don’t know how to use my laptop well, I sometimes lose focus when the class is remoted. So I’m trying to do my best all kind of works I have to do.
