THE END... for now

Hello, unfortunately, this time I'm not writing this to tell you about my assignment. This is going to be the final post that I'm writing for this class. I should say that: I really enjoyed keeping this blog and I feel like sometimes I'm keeping this blog as a diary. I think this is quite normal since I got used to writing a blog every week,:) At the beginning of this lesson, I had really limited information about the integration of technology in classrooms. To be honest; I'd never thought that it was possible for me to improve myself in technology. Because I was unwilling towards this course at the beginning. But my ideas have changed. I'm so happy that my awareness increased thanks to this course. I know the importance and advantages of technology in classrooms now. Technology empowers teachers to develop creative and interactive classrooms and gives them access to innovative resources. Effective educators understand the benefits of integrating technology in the classroom and finding new ways to make lessons meaningful. Educators can take advantage of computers, laptops, tablets, educational games, videos...etc. This will help students to be qualified enough for the 21-st century. My favorite task that I've completed for this course was creating a digital poster. Since I like visual materials, I'd really enjoyed doing that work. I like exploring photographic apps. For instance; I found the tool Canva for this project. Canva is a graphic design platform that can be used to create social media graphics, presentations, posters, documents, and other visual content. It includes numerous features. Apart from that; creating infographics was one of my favorites too. Because language learners can benefit from it. Since we have a lot of things to learn about a language. For instance; you can use infographics for vocabulary lessons or to explain adjectives, verbs, idioms and teach tenses, etc. I guess my least favorite was creating a podcast. Though I love listening to podcasts in my daily life; it was really hard to create a story for podcasts. I don't know how many times we recorded to make it clear. But still, I'm really happy to complete that assignment successfully. I believe that this course has been a great contribution to me. I would suggest that for improvement; maybe new tools can be introduced and discovered together in the classroom hence students 'interaction will increase and everyone will have fun while discovering new apps, tools. and lastly, I want to thank our teacher for her efforts, she really worked hard to improve us and yes, it worked!! <3
