Hello and for
the last time welcome to my blog! We have come to end of the term,this is my
final post. ln this post I will talk about what the Instructional Technologies
and Material course have taught me and after a whole term what I have
experienced about the effective use of technology in language classes.
Our teacher at
the beginning of the term wanted us to write a paragraph about teaching with
teachnology. Firstly I want to reflect back on to teaching with technology
post. In that post,I hope you will remember, I put an emphasis on the usage of
technology as a teaching tool not as a teacher itself. Approaching to end of
the term,I still think the same but now my thoughts are much stronger compared
to those times.Because throughout
the term we used lots of technological tools while completing the tasks given
by our teacher. Sometimes I had difficulties completing those tasks but after
completing those tasks I gained lots of experiences. Of course all the tasks
were important for us to complete but I, personaly liked some of them more.
Those tasks are padlet Project,Digital story telling and wikiing. In the Padlet
Project we worked together with my friends and we prepared a very good online bulletin
board about global warming.As for Digital Story telling I wrote a story and
prepared a video with my narration of the story,normally it was a pair task but
because I couldn’t find a pair I made it all by myself. The last one wikiing
was rating and introducing of a book by creating a wiki entry. I liked that
task because I freely commented on my favourite book.As a prospective language teacher,I will do my best to integrate
technology in my classes in the very future as we learned on this course.
About Instructional
Technologies and Material course,I have seen lots of educational technological
tools thanks to this course and I can say the course improved me very much. I
want to thank very much to our teacher Dr.Kurt for every thing and I wish you
all happy day.
