A Reflection

Hello again!

This blog post is going to be my last one for this semester. We have come to the end of this semester with many classes, and assignments :)

For my last blog post, I will be reviewing the course.

The reason why we have this course is to integrate technology in our teaching. And I believe that it was made successfully. To be completely honest, at first I thought this course was very unnecessary. I just felt like we all knew how to use technology anyway. Yet, I can assure you that I did not! I mean, I have learnt many things from this course. There were many tools that I had to use. I spent so much time trying to figure them out, but at the end of the day, I know how to create a blog page, how to use infographics in my future classes, how to edit a podcast, and so on. Not only that, but I also learnt so many things about copyrights, which is very useful.

Other than that, I think I always knew that one day I will be using technology in my classes, but I had no idea that there were that many ways of using it. I also learnt, and experienced different websites. For example, in our last class my instructor showed us some learning tools, such as sesame and magic school. I would have probably never heard of them if I did not have this course.

And about my favorite and least favorite tasks..

I think my favorite was creating a digital story. Although I do not like collaborative tasks, this was fun to do. My friend and I chose to show some ways to learn words. It was also an easy one since we both had our ideas already. I believe it was the only task that I already had an idea about.

My least favorite was definitely the film review.. It was really hard to find group members, and try to decide on a film. Maybe it was because I did not know the other two girls, but we really had a hard time deciding on many things.

Lastly, my suggestions about the course..

I guess the last assignment was really long :) I really did not enjoy doing it. Maybe we could skip the review part. And, I did not like that we had to have a collaborative task. I just felt like it was not necessary. But honestly, that was all.

So, thank you for reading all my posts.

See you later!

Best,

Şeyma.
