Goodbye!


Hey guys. I’m here with my final post. I’m afraid it is farewell time. The term is coming to an end.

Today I’m going to be reflecting my philosophy statement I posted 2 months ago.

I mentioned how technology has many benefits when used properly, especially for education. And my thoughts have not changed about this. But there is one thing that has changed about me, and that is how I use technology. I definitely don’t feel the same as I did 3-4 months ago, when the course started.

Well, in the philosophy statement post, I said that I’m not so good with technology but I think I improved myself. Before this course I had no idea about RSS feed, digital story telling and I did not know anything about making a podcast, a padlet or even a magazine cover. I had never created a wiki entry.

In my opinion, this course has so many benefits. I not only learned to be more creative, I also developed my English as well. In addition to these, thanks to the tasks we did, I feel like I am more capable of using web tools.

One of the advantages of this course is that, I and my classmates didn’t have to stress about anything. Out instructor, Ms. Kurt, was so kind to us and she gave many details about our taks. Since our tasks were enjoyable and not so hard, we did not came to class thinking how bored we’ll be. Our other courses include theories, unlike this one.
There is only one thing that I did not like about this course. Some projects required pair work. I am someone who prefers alone time during creative tasks, such as storytelling. But this is not a big issue, just a tiny disadvantage.

 So, this is it. 
Thanks to everyone who visited my blog, read my post(s), checked my projects.
Goodbye!

Photo taken from here Main Info About one stop english one stop english was created in order to help English learners and mainly English teachers. There are currently over 700,000 users in more than 100 countries around the world. You can subscribe for £42 for a year. It’s a teacher resource site, part of Macmillan Education which is one of the world’s leading publishers of English language teaching materials. Also resources are clearly marked by age and level. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any information about the founders of the website but I found out that Rachel Slatter is the managing editor and Erica is the development editor. I would’ve liked if they informed the visiters of the website about who founded it; however, there is detailed information about two editors, about what their duties and purposes are, what school they gradua...

My Favorite Web 2.0 Tools!

Image
Hello! I've created an infographic about 5 of my favorite web tools which should be used by all teachers and students. The website I used   to create the infographic. Hello! I've created an infographic about 5 of my favorite web tools which should be used by all teachers and students.  First of them is Edmodo which we are already using in three courses this term. On Edmodo, our teachers inform us about class schedules, projects, videos we are supposed to watch, etc. The second one is Grammarly. As I mentioned on the infographic, it helps the users to correct their mistakes when they are writing something. Students can use Grammarly to correct their spelling mistakes for their homework.  Kahoot! allows mostly teachers to create games or quizzes based on the topic of the lesson. And students can participate in the lesson with their mobile phones, computers or tablets. Padlet , as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, allows the teacher...
