I'm Going Crazy....

Every assignment that is given each week for CALL subject is challenging, beside it is really useful for us that will become teacher. But, from the first session till the eleventh session, for me, the most difficult assignment is session ten. It was group work, the lecturer also gave additional time for assignment in this session, but it really made me and other friends thought about it every day before the deadline. Yeah, the assignment was making conversation using Skype and recording it, and it really made us like crazy. T.T

Maybe you are curious why it made us like crazy. Was the material for conversation difficult? Of course no, it was just about integrating technology in Indonesia school. So, we just gave our opinion.

Then, what makes it difficult? Here the answer…..

So, for using Skype, we need strong connection of internet.  Actually, the university has provided Wi-Fi, but because many students or users use it, so, we cannot use it for doing Skype whenever we want. After thinking for few days, we decided that we could do this assignment only in early morning or in the evening; when the Wi-Fi users are lessen. Besides, we also had other problem at that time, for this session, each group consisted of 5 people, when we had big spirit to do this assignment, one of us could not use her laptop for video Skype, and she must look for other laptop, so we were waiting for it. It was really annoying. :(

Finally, a day before deadline day, at about 5 p.m we were doing that assignment, conversation among 5 people using Skype while recording, and when we wanted to do it once again, the connection is poor, we were give up, so, we submitted our first Skype result, although it was not good in recording.
