Hello for the last time (for now), forest dwellers!🌱🌲
Yes, I am sad to announce that this will be my last blog post for this semester. We've had a year full of interesting assignments, some hardships and some fun moments. Today I will recap my experience with the course and share it with you :)
Before I took this course, I knew of technology integrated teaching and even experienced it as a student. So I wasn't completely ignorant. However, I had some personal assumptions and judgements. For example I thought relying on it could make students lazy or not help them. However my thoughts changed a bit after this course. I see now that it can be integrated in a way that's not too much, and it can help foster English learning.
We completed a lot of assignments throughout the semester such as creating a podcast, writing using collaborative writing tools, creating a digital story video, and conversing with AI. Many of these tasks were things I had never done before, like AI conversations and creating my own podcast. Doing these myself helped me understand how they could be used in ELT. I also realized my shortcomings and things I am good at such as coming up with ideas and creating digital comics.
My favorite tasks were probably podcast and digital story creation. I loved making a podcast because I am a huge podcast fan and it made me excited to create my own! As for the digital story, it was a lot of work but it paid off at the end and it let me use my creativity.
I honestly think the course is great as it is, but maybe there could be more individual tasks because I am personally more comfortable working alone. Other than that, it was great and taught me a lot.
I hope to see you forest dwellers soon, and I hope you have a wonderful summer holiday! Remember to take care of yourself and engage in your hobbies 😁
