17. My Reflection- Impact on Learning  My students are exposed to a variety of online learning tasks. They can learn more interactively.  They can learn more at the time they want and at the place they want. They can learn at their own pace.  They can learn with and from their classmates. Collaboration, creativity, self-learning and self- correction are promoted.  Their computer skill and problem solving skill are promoted too.

18. My Tips  Prepare e-writing by training students’ typing skill.  Monitor students’ self-learning with different tasks.  Allow more time for finishing the learning tasks.  Handle different technical problems.  Sharing their work with classmates and parents.

19. Thank You!
