FARE THEE WELL

Hi! It seems that this is my final post. However, after I took Educational Technologies course, things related to technology and education attracted me a lot. I have a concrete opinion about this subject. At first, I didn't know a lot about it but after this course, I realized that I want to learn more about this subject about things related to both technology and education. I have started to use my knowledge from this course in my life for my students. I have started to create infographics and word clouds both for myself and others. I have also started to play Gartic.io with my students and friends. We introduced Gartic.io in our How-To video with Aslı and Emre. The other thing that I have learned from this course is how to be an effective teacher in the future. As a future teacher, I have started to think that we cannot be like old-fashioned teachers. Firstly, we have to improve ourselves and then we may make our students improve themselves. Students need technology integrated lessons anymore. I have enjoyed almost all of the task I have created. However, I have some favourites, as well. The best task for me is Digital Storytelling task. While preparing, I have enjoyed it a lot. Podcast and poster tasks were also good for me. Throughout the term, this course has changed my perspective towards technology integration and collaboration between students as I did with my friends especially Emre and Aslı. I have known a lot of new people with the help of collaborative tasks. We thought a new idea for this course with my close friend, Emre. We think that this course may be more attractive with more interaction and online tasks during the lessons. I would like to thank to my group members approximately for every group task. These people are Emre and Aslı. Thank you guys! I would like to thank to the lecturer of this course, Ms. Kurt :) I hope we will see each other in healthy times... This is not a complete farewell, we will meet one day, again. Till this time, bye!
