As you know, I was using this blog to explain the projects we did in the Current Issues course I took this term. And now that we've come to the end of this term, it's time for me to say goodbye to you. However, I would like to talk a little about my ideas about this course.
First of all, I must say that I really liked this course. Because if we want to be successful teachers in the 21st century, we must keep up with the conditions of the age. We must know how to use current technology and also see technology as a tool for our students' education. Thanks to this course, I think I improved myself in terms of integrating technology with education and preparing worksheets for my students. As for the weakness of the course, it was that these assignments took some time. Even though I enjoyed doing it, it was tiring sometimes. It was difficult at times, considering the assignments I was doing for my other classes. For me, the easy part of the course was that I enjoyed doing it. Also, thanks to our teacher Gökçe Kurt, I was able to clearly understand the assignments we need to do because she explains what we need to do in a very descriptive way.
My favorite task was the video we made for flipped classrooms. This video was also the most difficult task to do. Because it was very difficult to synchronize the video I made with my voice. It was also very difficult to find a quiet place to record audio with my friend. The task I disliked most was making Corpus-based material because it could be considered a bit boring compared to other tasks. It may also be because I do my other tasks with great pleasure.
My advice to those who will take this course next year is that you definitely know how to use Canva. I made all our worksheets from Canva, and it is an absolutely amazing site. It would also be useful for you to know how to edit videos because we spent a lot of time on the 'flipped classroom' task.
Thanks for reading.
