TIME TO SAY GOODBYE 

Hello my dear readers! We came to an end for this amazing semester. As well as the previous semester, this semester enlightened me about 21st-century teaching and gave me a lot of task ideas that I can give to my students in the future. 

I really enjoyed creating materials as a teacher and I must say that creating materials as students first, enabled me to see the important details and necessities to create better materials as a teacher this semester.

To be honest, this course was the most beneficial one compared to my other courses. I am really happy that I took this elective course and I highly recommend this course to all future teachers. This course not only teaches you how to create materials but also widens your perspective about technology integration in language teaching, improves your creativity, literally prepares you to be a teacher by not only making you learn but by making you use what you learn and provides an environment for group work. 

I can not tell a specific thing that I liked or learned the most because for me every task was equally useful, exciting and important. Luckily I didn't have big difficulties other than some technical problems. My partner in every task İzel always helped me to find practical solutions and we worked out everything smoothly. 

I wish I could continue this course next semester and keep creating various materials. Before saying goodbye, I want to thank my teacher for giving us this amazing opportunity and coming up with brilliant ideas. Even though it was the first time that she was giving this course and we were dealing with a pandemic, the course didn't have any disruption and the content was flawless. 

Last but not least, I want to thank you my dear readers for being with me along this journey. I hope you find this blog useful and enjoy reading it. Take care of yourselves and never stop learning! 

ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END

Hello my dear readers! We finished the semester and completed the course. That's why this is a good-bye post. I must say that I liked blogging more than I thought. I learn the best when I share the information. Therefore blogging was very useful in that matter as well as improving my writing skills. 

This course enlightened me about 21st century teaching and gave me a lot of task ideas that I can give to my students in the future. In other classes of mine they teach us teaching approaches but they don't show how we can integrate technology which fulfills the needs of this era's students'. I learned that there are lots of different and entertaining ways of technology which can be used in and out of the classrooms. It will not only catch the students' attention more but also will be a time saver. The teaching will be more efficient and up-to-date.

I believe that we used this course to good account although it was given only one semester which is not enough. In my opinion this course should be given for two semesters. Another thing that I would suggest would be doing a research and finding a different way of using technology in education from what we had learned in this course and then sharing it in our blog. Thus, we can learn more ways of technology integration in education.

The thing that I liked the most about this course is blogging. Due to anyone can be the reader and what we write will stay on the internet forever blogging makes us do the task more attentively. To be honest there is nothing that I didn't like about this course. The learning process, the given tasks and grading system is really proper.

The difficulties that I had were technical problems. When me and my friends were creating a PSA and a podcast, it took a while to figure out how to edit. By trying over and over again and watching tutorials we managed to end up with satisfactory results. 

Finally, I want to thank my teacher for enabling me to see the technology integration in education from a bigger perspective and my friends for creating amazing works with me. But the biggest thanks to you my dear readers! You made this blog valuable by reading it. I wrote everything here in the hope that it would be useful to you. Thank you for being with me in this journey. Take care of yourselves my precious readers!
