Welcome Message

Hello all and welcome to our class blog. I’m Louise! I’m happy to be your instructor this semester. First, let me say a few words about this online space.

My Teaching Philosophy Learning is not just receiving ideas and

knowledge from the teachers. Often times, students discover knowledge

through discussions. The main purpose of this blog is to provide a space for students to learn through communicating with one another.

Conventional Classroom In a conventional

classroom, discussions are often short because of the time limit.

Also, sometimes, the teacher and outspoken students control the discussions. Quiet students have less chance to speak.

Online Discussion But, on our blog, you

can participate any time and anywhere you want. And students are more able to participate at an equal footing.
