PU English Pedagogy Interactive Website

真的太有成就感了! 花了一個半天研究Gemini Canvas, 先一步步先在大腦把想像透過指令慢慢的成形。接下來，學習使用Netlify把程式變成實際的網站。最後，反覆不斷的操作後產生愈來愈多想法，慢慢的一個個修改後，最後的成果自己頗為滿意，今天上課學生的投入也讓辛苦都值得。"Necessity is the mother of invention." 我當學員時，學科技很慢、常常跟不上講師的步調，也糾結在為什麼要學這麼多看不出來用在教學什麼地方的AI和平臺。但有需求時動機一來，就能靜下心來自學和反覆不斷在嘗試錯誤中學習。
