Hello again, how are you? I hope you are all doing well as usual. This is going to be the last post for a while because our technology course and the term has ended. In this final post I will be evaluating our course "Current Issues in Teaching".
The Strengths and The Weaknesses
The strength of the course was that we were able put things that we learn in the classroom into practice every two weeks. Only learning plain information about technology would not be sufficient.
The weakness of the course is also related to this. While we got to complete tasks outside classroom and create materials, we were not able to use most of the technological tools inside the classroom (We rarely did but mostly due to time problems they were very scarce and succinct).
Easy and Difficult Points of The Course
The overall content of the course was easy to follow and understand. However, the actual material creation and transforming the information that we learn in the class into a concrete supply was pretty hard and took a lot of time. If those tasks were supposed to be done individually, I would not be able to complete any of them on time.
My Favourite and Least Favourite Tasks
My favourite task was creating a video based on flipped classroom approach. It was indeed the hardest one but generating the video and voicing it was fun.
My least favourite task was Data-Driven Learning task. Using corpus is very effective since you can see the authentic usages of the words. However, preparing the material was very boring, and students may get bored while using corpus as well.
My Suggestions for Improvement
If only tasks had a longer due date. It was hard to prepare materials every two weeks.
My Suggestions for Future Students
Start working on your assignments in due time and always answer when Mrs. Gökçe asks you a question:)
How This Course Contributed to Me
Unlike my generation, I am not good with technology. This course taught me a lot of ways to use technology to enhance my lessons. After all, I think I can integrate technology into my lectures whenever I feel like, thanks to this course.
That was it. It was a great pleasure to communicate with you guys. Take care!!!
