This class, was easily the most fun one in my semester. I have learned many things and I didn't have a general idea of how to use technology for English teaching and other activities. Now I know how to use the internet and other things to support my students in the future or learn more about learning or teaching. My favorite activities were making a podcast, because it was really fun to make and the digital story was also really fun. My least favorite was “internet-based project” not necessarily because it's a bad activity, but I felt like it required a lot more effort to make it. Another problem about it was the activity being only group-based and not individual because some people like to work individually rather than in groups. Another thing is, that writing blog posts of around 200 or 300 words were a bit harsh because sometimes it was hard to type that many things on some activities. For an instance, making a poster activity. There's not much to explain and finding 200 words to explain what it is, is a bit hard in my opinion but it was a useful activity anyway. Some limitations were also a problem, like making a podcast, was limited only to 2 minutes it was hard to limit it that way because most of the podcasts are usually longer than 10 minutes. The same goes for digital stories as well. I understand this decision by the teacher because it would be hard for her to check all of the podcasts but I wanted to mention it anyway. The course was generally fun and I really enjoyed making my own blog, learning how to use the technology for teaching, and doing other activities together with my friends was also really really fun. I appreciate our teacher's effort!
This may be the last blog post for my class, but I plan to post keep posting here from time to time!!
