Take Away Message for April 14

I think what we learned from this class was very important. The first thing would be the essentials for how to write an Email properly since we use Email as the main tool to interact with professors within college and with co-workers or bosses in the work place. The the account of the email address would better be appropriate depending on difference uses. The opening part of the Email will leave the first impression on the person who is going to read our messages, the structure of the whole email, the paragraphs are supposed to be well- organized and clear to read through. The font and format should always be appropriate. Besides, the language we use in the email should be formal. We cannot ignore the closing part to make sure the email is good as a whole. I will remind myself to always have a double check on spelling and the attachments. One point that is easily to forget is the timing, for example, it is good to notice the right timing in the case we send an email to a person who is in another time zone.

I am happy to get to know another awesome website http://exchange.smarttech.com/. I was stunned to see the wonderful powerpoint works, which reminded me that sometimes It's not only about the new technology, but to use old technology in a new way. Voicethread and Prezi are also very interesting tools for both teachers and students to use in and out of classroom.
