Shortcomings: Students’ & Teachers’ Perceptions
Limited/slow internet connection / not available
Limited / running out of quota/credit
Benefits:Students’ Perceptions
sophisticated, fun, we don’t need paper and pen, and we can do it anywhere and anytime
it motivates me to fulfill the assignment given
simpler, faster and more practical
easier and it saves paper
Benefits: Teachers’ PerceptionsMy interaction with my students is not limited only in class.
It helps me keep myself updated with my students' progress easily.
I can check and give feedback to my students’ work immediately as soon as they submit their work anytime anywhere.
It lets me use my time efficiently.
I won’t be bothered by scattered papers, filing their works etc.
Conclusion
The integration of virtual sticky
notes has proven to be effective and
enjoyable not only for students but
also for teachers, facilitating greater
engagement and maximizing
learning within and beyond the
classroom walls.

Making Connection with Parents, Showing Students' Activities in Class
This project aims to improve students’ language development by intensifying their learning through making video recordings of students' activities available for students to watch at home with parents.
These videos served as a reinforcement of lessons discussed in class which could be watched and repeated at their convenience at home offering more exposure to English as well as creating a memorable learning experience for the students.
Parents are invited to take part as co-learners to attend students when watching the recordings at home. They could give their children encouragement to participate more and perform better while at the same time they could follow their children's progress.
