My Final Post

 Hey everyone! We completed another term with lots of new experiences and information. This year’s Current Issues course helped me a lot. It has lots of strengths like direct material design prepares us for the following courses and helps us with these tasks in an innovative way. It also had a few weaknesses such as, some of the tasks are not applicable in some of the classroom scenarios because of the inequality of opportunity between the learners. 

The course was a bit hard in terms of using technology proficiently and the necessity of creativity. Sometimes it was hard to come up with a different idea or find an effective tool. That’s for sure that following the instructions made our job easier than ever.

My favorite task was the AR/VR based teaching material because what is more delightful than traveling and seeing new places while using a new language? My least favorite was the flipped-classroom teaching video because I don’t really like editing videos.

If I have to make a suggestion that would be creating more applicable tasks in every level and area.

I suggest that the students complete their tasks with a lot of effort and research because this new information is not something you can learn while you teach in a school in all that rush. We have a chance to learn and apply now, so don’t postpone it. 

Thanks to my instructor and my partner Hatice Büber

All of a sudden you run into the person and ask him/her a question that is a little private and also weird. I recorded voices for the task but later I realized that I'll definitely remember this as a memory later in my life. In my own opinion, the most difficult part of the task was the time limitation. In terms of educational purposes, I would like to use it in my classes if I happen to be a teacher. Creating a podcast is more entertaining than I used to think I enjoyed every single moment of this task. If I ever have a chance to assign this to my students I would like them to be more active in the process because they will have to practice oral skills and i...
