Session 1, Activity 2----Self introduction and my interests relevant to this module and program

My name is WangMuye and my English name is Makino. I've just graduated from my college in Beijing mainland China. As my major was Japanese, I have little experience in such area as IT. But IT is always me in my daily life, I even can't imagine a day without computer and internet. At the beginning of new life in the HKU, I'm very expecting about the coming course. Besides I think the "teaching and learning with technology" is very important.

When it comes to learning with technology, I feel that online learning helps me to make connections between my learning, my daily life and my future professional goals. I feel that it can helps me to learn in a different, more inquiry-based, more collaborative and more critical way. I don't have any experience with technology learning but I did experience e-learning when I took a non-fiction writing course that was entirely online. I'm very interested in this module, this is because the technology can transform the way I am learning (more discussion, making more mental connections, reflecting more, using the internet more to connect with information and opinions in the wider world), and because it inform and shape my thoughts regarding my career plans.

Besides, when it comes to teaching with technology, Without any teaching experience, I think I would like to represent my understanding of technology teaching. I hope the teachers can provide more opportunities to encourage the students finish a collaborative work, with the help of technologies and multimedia.

These are something about me and my thoughts and any comment is welcomed, thank you!!!
