Time to post what I have learnt!
To summarize everything, before Mrs Xing starts planning for her ICT lesson, she needs to know her students ability in using computers. Once she analyse and know their computer ability, she could her group students and appointing a leader for each group. This will help her ease the trouble of going to each students if they have any problems. Also, she needs to ensure that all resources and equipment are sufficient and working.
Coming up with a detailed lesson plan is important to ensure that all loopholes are being looked into. Stating the objectives and giving detailed instructions before the start of lessons or a day before will help to keep the class focused on what needs to be done. During briefing, she could include the rules of the lesson to maintain discipline and the structure of narrative.
To ease her from having to check all 40 scripts, she could pair the students up to counter-check their work. She could also advise her students to use the "F7" to correct their spelling and grammar. This will help to lighten her burden of correcting their spelling and grammar.
She could stop the lesson halfway to check on the students progress. She could use the "lock software" where she can control the students'computers. Once she knows of the students' progress, she could gauge how many would have finished and helped her with the checking of scripts. Else, she could asked those who have finished to do some worksheets, known as fillers, to occupy their time.

Reflection
1) Have I achieved my learning goals? How did I make that happen? Were my learning strategies effective and efficient? How might they be improved?
I believed that I have achieved my learning goals through reading and watching various websites and ICT book. I find that my learning strategies were not effective as I tend to need 'get-the-right-mood' before I start to do my E-learning. This result in me procastinating to get things to done; last minute work. Hence, I realised that if I want to get things done, I need to push myself and not 'get-the-right-mood' to start my work. Afterall, it's all in your mind. =)
2)Did the group processes support my group's learning? Why and why not? How can I/we improve?
With the group members commenting on my views, it helps to think crucially on the points that I have listed. Some may not agree on the point listed. Therefore, I may need to explain further to get my point noted to them.
I need to be more involved in the discussion to help my group member in their post.
