Many pedagogical theories and studies showed that student will learn
better if they are being appropriately motivated. But what kind of teaching
approach or who can motivate students? Dose it suit everybody? After watching
two videos about future teaching through Internet, the answer should be learner
themselves.
The first one is Future LearningDocumentary. Video games was described as “powerful learning tools that have
ever been created” in the video. It is amazing that you can always notice that
no matter how old a person is, he or she will play the game again and again
until reach a higher score or even master the game. During the whole process,
the player completes the task independently and continuously. Furthermore, some
video games are designed to be relevant with daily life, and also usually
present it in a fun way. As a language learner, I want design a video game just
like The Sims Games which you have to live in the TL country to survive by communicating
with your neighbors, your friends, and your boss. If the player could use the
language and vocabulary correctly and appropriately, he might be a successful
businessman and rich otherwise he might get punched or lose his job. With the
development of science and technology, I hope my idea will come true some day. 
Another video is A Vision of 21st Century Teachers. All
the teacher said nothing but holding a white board to show what they want to
say. I think this might indicate an image of future teacher. Just as the first
video has mentioned, when children are given the permission to the Internet,
there should also be an absence of teacher to let students to try to learn by themselves.
But by ‘absence’, I do not mean that teachers are unnecessary or disappear in the future. What teachers
need to do in the future is to give high quality orders and let computer to do
the basic works, which offers students an opportunity to explore the
information freely and independently.
To sum up, online resources are boundless
and powerful. Sometimes the teaching activities or materials might not be motivated enough for everyone in the class. But what if find a way to let students motivate themselves in a cyber-classroom? That would be easy to make students study spontaneously and have fun at the same time. Internet
tools such as blog, twitter, YouTube, will polish your teaching with fascinating
effects and surprising outcomes.
