Integrating Technology into Classrooms

-
     Hi there! Today, I have come to you with my last blog post... Throughout the term, we have discussed using technology in classrooms and making use of it. Before the class, I was already aware of the benefits of technology in education so it was an efficient lesson for me. With this lesson, I have learned about new media tools, especially Artificial Technology. Using AI is a blessing for both teachers and learners. Who would think of an assistant that can even evaluate students' writings and score them? The most surprising thing about AI for me was its ability to generate questions according to the video or text given to it. You can even choose question types! In addition to AI, we have seen many more topics about technology in our course. For example infographics, I enjoyed creating an infographic as it was easy to make one with some websites with visuals which I think is very beneficial for students to convey some important messages. As well as we have even done podcasts. Podcasts are also interesting audio to use inside or outside of the classroom. And digital storytelling... Digital storytelling was my favorite task throughout the course. It should definitely take place in lessons through teachers. Teachers can use digital storytelling for every topic in class as it is both funny and interesting to watch and informative. 
     
     Overall, the course was very beneficial and essential for teachers of the technology era. I won't suggestions about our course as it is overarching enough to cover most of the technological developments. In every detail of our lives, we cannot escape technology. Hence, teachers should be well-prepared and equipped with the necessary technological knowledge to integrate technology into classrooms. So that was how we ended our course, I hope we meet again with new tasks and topics...

     Take care, see you!

An Advanced Teaching Technique: Flipped Classroom Approach

      Hello There! Today, I will be talking about an unusual teaching method that we covered in my last class. This uncommon method is the flipped classroom approach! Unlike the traditional classroom model where teachers lecture during class and students complete assignments at home, a flipped classroom offers a teaching context where students only come to class to complete their assignments with their teacher while watching their courses online wherever they want. Students first access interactive online content, videos, and readings provided by their teachers before diving deeper levels of their topics. The flipped classroom has many benefits and positive outcomes. Active engagement is one of the key benefits of flipped classrooms since the whole lesson time is dedicated to activities. Also, a flipped classroom offers a personalized learning environment as students can watch their lessons wherever they can and as much as they want.       So, in our a...

Blending Reality With The Real World in Teaching!?

 Hello there! Today, I will be talking about extraordinary teaching material. The material that I am talking about is augmented and virtual reality technology. Unlike the traditional teaching context in which it is difficult for students to engage with materials, this technology goes beyond the teaching limits! By using AR/VR technology, students can explore and examine new places, materials, objects, and even cities by themselves! It is an amazing feature for both students and teachers when it comes to the efficiency and quality of lessons. Using AR and VR in lessons has many benefits but has some disadvantages. When integrated with teaching materials, this technology makes lessons more engaging for students and allows students to explore places, and objects they have learned in the classroom. But for disadvantages, not all students can have a device that is connected to the internet. So this technology can only be implemented in certain classrooms for now. For our assignment, we ...

Using Generative AI Tools in Lessons

      Hello there! Today, I will introduce my last assignment for this term! In my last task, as a group, we created a worksheet that is integrated with generative AI tools. As you know AI tools are getting more and more common among students and teachers. Generative AI tools can be both beneficial and detrimental for us, depending on how we use them. Nowadays, it is very prevalent among students to use AI tools like ChatGPT for assignments and homework. This situation affects students' learning progress negatively. So, it is important to know how to use AI tools as a teacher, and also we have to inform our students about this topic. If we want to benefit from a generative AI tool in our lessons, we should clearly explain our topic and our aims to students. So, we designed a worksheet where students use generative AI tools to create a story based on 3 different genres. First, we introduced the tasks. Then, students completed the tasks according to the instructions by usin...
