 Hello, Ms. Carlson. This is ***. Here is my assignment, safe in time. Thanks for the detail feedback I really appreciate it.

Excerpts from ‘Final Reflection’:

 Screencasts, which is a new feedback method by Ms. Carlson was very fresh and terrific way of giving comments to students like as if it is done in real time.  I also love the way instructor gave feedback: screencasts! First time, honestly, it was kind of confused to me, but after I adapt it, it feels like I got private tutor for my writing, screencast also helps my listening skills too.  For the online activities, screencast was best. It was good because I could know exactly what the instructor wants to comment and edit my essay. Usually with pen, some words were hard for me to recognize.  The ‘Screencast’ and ‘Glogster’ were really impressive and helpful. With the screen cast I can edit my essays with your voice, and it feels like you’re with me.  Screencasts are the most innovative to me so far. I love it. It gives students great feedbacks.  …and the screencasts were so helpful. It makes me feel easy to check my errors.  Compared with last class, screen cast is the most outstanding technic and feature. Whenever I submitted my second draft of my essays, I felt communication with you simultaneously.  I think screen cast is most useful and helpful for us, because it gives feedbacks directly for us…  …one of the things that I liked about her course was screencasts because it helps me a lot when I edit my essay.  I think the e portfolio and screencasts were really helpful and useful.  Screencasts- helpful when needing to get feedback on papers written to teachers. Sometimes it’s good to hear what the teacher have to say about your paper instead of reading comments you don’t understand on your paper.

 Screencasts and ePortfolios were very helpful. Especially Screencasts helped me with understanding easier and faster than just looking at a monitor and reading the instructions why I got wrong on this sentence. If screencasts were longer than 5 minutes, it would be more efficient than any other thing.  I think that screencasts are not fit to me because I need quite space, headset, computer, and so on. Also, the comment has just 5 minutes and I believe that the 5 minutes are not enough time.

 Screencasts was new impact to me. However, there was a negative factor. This program required the quiet place to hear some points to change and rewrite my essay. It was harder to realize some points which I should change than professor’s memos.
