#7 edX



edX

Link： https://www.edx.org/

The class I’ve watched：

(1) Pattern Studying and Making

From： TsinghuaX 　　Number：00804723x

(2)  Conversational English Skills

From： TsinghuaX　　Number：30640014x

My experience/feelings and comments :

This is a good way that you can learn some new knowledge.
It can let us choose which we are interested in.

And MOOCs have a lot of different courses.
We don't have to worried about misunderstanding what the teacher saying.
It have CC (closed caption) and transcript. 

If you think the talking speed is too fast, you can change the speed.
The quality is good, too. 
But when I use this website by myself at first.I can't use very smooth. 
Even I can't find that I want to find immediately.

Of course, when I familiar to this website, I don't have this problem.

So I think it is a useful tool to learn.
When I want to learn something that can't learn from school, I will use this.

Just like the first that I watched.
I interested in art, but school's course don't have.
So I can use MOOCs to learn, it is free.

And the second, it can learn English skills.
I can watch the video in my free time.
It have different unit, so you can quickly understand how to use.
It also have situational drama to show you.
And the teacher's accent is clear!

Lyrics： Do you ever feel like a plastic bag Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in? Do you ever feel already buried deep? Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing Do you know that there's still a chance for you 'Cause there's a spark in you?
