Goodbye :(

 As we wrap up this term, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on my journey with the "Current Issues in Teaching" course and share my thoughts.

from here

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Course: One of the biggest strengths of this course was its focus on integrating innovative tools like AI into teaching. This approach was both practical and engaging, offering fresh perspectives on modern teaching methods. However, a minor weakness was the limited time for in-depth exploration of some tools, which left me wanting more.

Challenges and Ease: I found the discussions and collaborative tasks fairly easy, as they fostered a supportive learning environment. However, understanding the pedagogical implications of certain technologies was a bit challenging at times.

Favorite and Least Favorite Tasks: My favorite task was designing AI-integrated teaching material. It allowed me to be creative and explore how AI can enhance language learning. My least favorite was the flipped classroom approach task.It was really difficult for us to prepare the video, find the grammar topic and edit the video.

Suggestions for Improvement: Offering more time to explore AI tools and providing additional hands-on workshops could further enhance the course experience.

Advice for Future Students: Embrace the course with an open mind and engage actively in all tasks—you’ll learn so much about how technology can transform teaching!

Contribution to Professional Development: This course has equipped me with innovative ideas and practical skills that will undoubtedly enrich my future teaching practices. I’m excited to implement what I’ve learned in real classroom settings.

Thank you for following my journey throughout this term. I hope my posts have been insightful and inspiring. Until next time, goodbye and good luck!
