My reflection on the course and overall experience
Hi people, this will be my last post on this blog in regard to my Instructional Technologies course. However, I am still thinking of continuing to write on this wall about more personal stuff.
I would like to start this post by reflecting on to my âteaching with technology statementâ (the post titled âyou know nothingâ).
I still almost completely agree with the idea of people perceiving technology as a âcool toolâ rather an actual phenomenon.
However, MY OWN perception has changed significantly over the course of the whole term as I got to use technology more actively. The tasks given helped me see the advantages more clearly and understand the practicality and benefits it brings to the classroom.
Besides these, the variety of the ways that how it can be integrated in lessons has enabled me to form new ideas and lesson plans in my future classrooms.
As for my reflection on the course;
Firstly, I really and TRULY want to say that I am very happy and thankful to have this course I think itâs one of the most beneficial and relatable from the ones we had this semester. I truly enjoyed completing every task and I think they were all very well-selected and moderately easy. The only thing I didnât like and made the course more challenging was the overlapping tasks.
Also, I have to admit that this course has made me feel more comfortable about the âentertainment partâ of my future lessons because I now know that I can use the help of technology to make things more fun by using the proper tool/ website.
I donât really have any suggestions to improve the course and I donât think the tasks given were TOO much, the theory parts of the lessons were also good. Maybe (if absolutely necessary) the Word cloud or the RSS feed task can be cut off.
Thank you all for support and attention. Peace. :))
