SAYING GOODBYE !


HELLO EVERYONE !

It’s my final post ! It doesn’t mean that I will stop using my blog , I will still continue to share personal and educational posts but this is my last post for my educational technology class.

Although my generation is intertwined with technology, I wasn’t using it very well or let’s say I wasn’t know how to use it efficiently. It was really challenging for me because all of the things that we have done was new for me. When a task given , maybe I searched more than my classmates. I tried to understand what should I do and how to do it. But with this way I learnt a lot. I discovered so many websites and applications with my teacher’s help which I can use them in my future classes. Comparing myself to my initial state, I realize how much I improved and it makes me happy !

 I think when you want to teach a new language , you can’t use traditional methods such as using blackboard , eraser and chalk.  You have to use visual and auditory equipments. And you can do it via technological devices easily. This course helped me to know which devices I can use and how can I use them. Our teacher didn’t give us the tool directly but she gave us instructions and led us. The reason why she did that is because the technological tools are constantly changing. So it means that when we face with a new tool in the future as a teacher , we’ll know how to discover  the tools and integrate them to our classes.

My only suggestion for this course is doing more presentations. We always prepared tasks, shared them on blog but couldn’t find a chance to present it to the class. That would be great to show the product to our friends.

I liked every task we did. My favourite work was “Creating An Online Poster”. It was really fun and creative. What I liked least was “RSS” It was little useless and boring for me. But mostly I loved every task which is given ! Also It was good for me to work in pairs or groups.
