Goodbye For Now

Hi dear followers! As you know, we are at the end of the term. Today, I will explain what my blog and my educational technologies course have contributed to me in terms of understanding of technology integration in ELT and more in this term.

Firstly, I didn’t expect that we would share so many things on our blogs. I didn’t know how my technological skills would improve. However, in time, I noticed that I would do many useful activities in my class and blog. I shared many posts that contributed to my learning process to a large extent. A few of them were padlet, public service announcement, magazine cover and infographic.

The contribution of my course and blog to my understanding of technological integration of ELT is countless. To make it clear, anymore, I know how to create podcast, padlet, video, infographic, poster, blog and much more. While creating them, I learned many things on my topics and this made me well-informed. Now, I have many creative ideas for using technology in my future classes. Therefore, I feel lucky to have the chance to use technology for such a good purpose.

Additionally, using technology in class enables students to enhance their critical thinking, communication, creativity and colloboration skills. To improve those skills is so important since we are in technological age. We can give them assignments to make them use technology in various types. By doing this, we will contribute to their technological knowledge and skills.

I want to state that this course can be improved if all of the students follow some specific blogs related to the course. They share many useful information for future teachers. We can also use them in both this course and our future classes. We will have more ideas to use then.

What I liked the most about this course is that we were free to choose any topic in most of the assignments. Hence, this provided us with more different ideas to use. What I liked the least about the course is that we had limited time. I think, this hindered our creativity.

In this term, I had many difficulties with my blog. Embedding was the most challenging one for me. Nevertheless, I learned how to embed. When doing our assignments we had difficulty with my group friends as well. For instance, while creating the padlet, they wrote their ideas on padlet wall but their names weren’t seen on the wall. However, I solved the problem. Thanks to these challenges, we learned that we could resolve any difficulties with researching.

Finally, I want to thank my teacher as she gave us the chance to improve ourselves in terms of integrating technology into ELT . I also thank you as you followed me and learned with me. Thanks for everything 🙂
