A Nice Year!

WHAT A WONDERFUL YEAR!

    The course “Educational Technologies” which I had was a good experience. I had a lot of fun during courses, assignments sometimes could be exhausting though. I learned so many things and materials/instruments, and I am sure that I will benefit from all of them.

    I first thought that integration the technology in language learning is not so needed. My thoughts are not changed because I still think that the efficiency of teachers is much more important than the technological improvement s/he uses. However, I think both the teachers and learners still need to adapt themselves to technological advancements in case of catching the requirements of this age.

The task I most liked was creating an “About Me” page. Because I lack self-confidence and am too introverted to explain myself, creating a blog about myself and adding a page completely “About Me” helps me to get over this feeling. I continue to be shy, but this course might be the first step to overcome my unpleasant habit.

I have some suggestions for this course. If I were the instructor giving this course, I prefer getting my students to create the task in school instead of giving them these as homework. I think it is important that seeing all steps is vital, as doing them as homework can cause some missed steps to occur. Even if the time limitation does not let me get my students to do their tasks in the classroom, maybe I would choose to decrease the number of assignments. But I wish I had more courses like this, and I would have taken this course as a continuant one like “Educational Technologies I and II”. Lastly, I would like to thank my teacher and all my readers. See you again!
