WEEK 10: SELF-REFLECTION ABOUT THIS COURSE

Hello peeps. It's finally the final weekly post on this blog! I can't describe how happy I am to finally finish this task on time although sometimes I procrastinate 😂 whatever it is, I'm very proud of myself.

 Okay! For this final blog entry, I will answer all the questions that have been given to us during our meet on tenth week. It's all about the summary of what I've been learning until tenth week, my feelings and so forth.

1) What have you learned throughout this course?

Throughout this course, I have learned so many things. There are times when I attend this class, there were skills I had that I already excelled at, but learning it deeper and deeper with he help of the lecturer makes me improve in so many ways than before. This course taught me how to use educational tools in an advanced way for instance, the Prezi, Canva, power point, MOOC, flipped classroom, teaching techniques using ADDIE method and so on. I've improved a lot during taking this course.

2) What do you like the most about the course and what areas that you think can be improved?

Things that I like the most about this course is that, it taught me that teaching must not always be teaching face to face. There are a lot of methods that we can use to teach our students and how to make our classroom fun and interesting. It's good that we were exposed with these method as we, as the future educators know the right method to teach our students!

3) Your honest opinion on the integration of technology in education

My honest opinion on the integration of technology in education are it is very flexible. It can improve students' learning processes and outcomes in many ways. The integration of technology in education makes our teaching less tiring and less difficult than just explaining theoretical that is most likely boring and less effective.  I think the integration of technology in education helps educators to deliver the learning effectively to students. I strongly agree that we continue to practice various types of teaching in schools be it in primary school, secondary school and even university!

One word to describe this course is INCREDIBLE!

WEEK 9: FLIPPED CLASSROOM

As we are going through this virtual learning, there are a lot of things to learn starting from the technologies, the techniques and the patterns of studying or learning. Flipped classrooms is the blended learning that we usually do at university even before the pandemic. My favorite flipped classroom would be GOOGLE CLASSROOM. The reason why I like Google Classroom is because it is the easiest to handle. 

REASONS TO LOVE GOOGLE CLASSROOM

◎ Well organized. Most of the lecturers use Google classroom as medium to deliver their lessons by giving us pre-recorded lectures video. The videos also don't have expiry date so students are able to watch it many times and whenever they want.

◎ Convenient. Google classroom not only can be used for instructors to post videos, but also can be a medium to submit assignments for a student. Google classroom is also linked to the Google Drive, making it easier to make a backup file for every tasks/assignments given.

◎ Flexible. It easy for teachers to keep all of their instructional materials in one place. This way, as teachers re-use videos and presentations from class to class or from year to year, it’s easier to stay organized.

◎ User friendly. Google classroom allows user to comment to any post in the classroom to create two-ways interaction between instructors and students. This way, students could understand better and comfortable in learning virtually. 

I think, that is it for this time. Google Classroom has so much to offer. For me, it is the best application that Google has made!
