My website...

My website has now been uploaded. I really love to hear your comments on this. Please visit my website and give me some suggestions about areas of improvement. Thank you.

The website has been created for students aged between 18-22 years at lower intermediate level. This website, which involves the extension activities of the Journalist and World Idols WebQuest is aimed at promoting the students’ ability in reading. In other words, the CALL module is a supplement to the WebQuest activities as well as a reinforcement of learning experience.

Hi Natdhaya,

I love the topic of your website. It’s very interesting. Below are my feedbacks about your website:

1.STRENGTHS:
(a) Your website is well connected to your webquest.
(b) The arrangement of your template is very clear.
(c) I love the idol photos you put on the ‘World Idols Matching’ which make the activity more lively and amusing. The content of this activity is interesting, too.
(d) In the activity of ‘Fact or Fiction’, if the answer is a ‘fiction’, you provide the learners with correct information for it. That’s good!

2 SUGGESTIONS:
(a) Would it be better if you use drag and drop template for the activity of ‘World Idols Sequence’?
(b) Maybe you can divide the ‘World Idols Crossword’ into 2 activities because there are 18 words on it.
(c) Is there any information that can help the learners to complete the activities of ‘World Idols Cloze’, ‘Fact or Fiction’ and ‘World Idols Crossword’?
(These are only my personal suggestions and they may not suit your needs or purposes. They are just another viewpoints for you to think about.)

In general, your website is cool and clear. I love it. Well done and Congratulation to you !

Dear Natdhaya~~
I really like the website you designed for our students. I also knew that you made lots of efforts on it! So well down! here are personal comments about some strenghts of your website!
First of all, the instruction for doing this online exercise is very clear and the format, color and sequence are also very nice! Secondly, you used several pictures related to each questions I think that is really good because that can attract students’ attention and prevent them from bored! Thirdly, the question you designed all relate to your webquest and students can build up their knowledge of world idols also their language ability as well. Additionally, here are also some suggestions for the website!

Firstly, maybe you can ask students to drag the answer tags for reorganize the sequences in the matching exercise. I think that might be more interesting and also attractive. Secondly, if you can organize some useful texts and combine them together into the word document for students to read it for their fundamental knowledge I think that could be nice! Because some students are not so patient to look though all the websites you provided to them! Thirdly, maybe you can set up each exercise can open in another new lab because I think that might can help students to look back your main page and would not lose their track! Overall, I think I really like your website and use lots of pictures and very clear format! This is a really good website! I think your students will like it! Also I will introduce your website to my students! So well down!

Thanks for your comments (All positive feedback)on my project!
I think you are a "superfans" of Tiger Woods or a port-lover of tennis. I think your students liked your project very much if they are interested in playing tennis or other sports.

Good points of website:
1. Very soft colour design in warm pink.
2. Veru clear instructions for your students and learners.
3. The readings are very interesting.
4. All the activities are highly related to your readings and the contents are well-selected and well-organised.
5. I like world idols Matching the best because all the words from the world idols are encouraging.

Suggestions:
1. the information in Tiger Woods's offical website is hugh. I keep reading but no more direction until I did the Sequencing and Quiz activities. In order to finish the activities, I have to visit the Woods website again and again. It would be better if you can give me some hints, such as must read the history of Woods or so on.
2. I gave up doing the crossword exercise because it's a big challenging job for me. 18+ questions are too too many for me. What do you think? Keep limit your questions.
3. One more point, it would be better if you can make activities template colourful.

Overall, you did very well! I'm happy to give feedback to your project and I do all the activities pleasurably.
For sure your students enjoyed learning all the materials from your website.

Cheers
Maggie
