Farewell, dear farmers!

Hellooooo, I have some bad news for you, my dear farmers! This will be my last blog for this course. I am not sure if I will be updating my blog in the near future. That is why I want you guys to act like this is my farewell to you! Okay? Let's go!

What are the strengths and/or weaknesses of the course?

Its strengths and weaknesses are actually the same: too much workload. What do I mean by this? Well, it is amazing that we had the chance to create this many materials, but the time we had for each assignment... Oh my... It was nerve-wracking. We had almost no gaps between assignments. I know it helped me deepen my knowledge of technology integration into teaching materials. Still, it was wartime for me.

What did I find easy or difficult about the course?

I think the difficulty level was adjusted purrfectly. The course, in general, was pushing our limits, yet it was possible to get it done.

What were my most and least favorite tasks?

My favorite task was...

The flipped classroom. It was new, fun, and engaging. Creating such a video and seeing it can be used as teaching material impressed me. It was time-consuming, but I would say it was worth it.

My least favorite task was...

AI in ELT was the assignment that I was counting every second for it to come to an end. Since I am not a huge fan of AI, using AI as a material was not that exciting for me.

What would I tell the students who would take this course next year?

Be ready for the overlapping assignments! When I say overlapping, I MEAN IT :(. Yes, the course is fun, but you probably will need to submit three or four assignments at the same time. Other than that, have fun! This course allows you to have fun while learning, so do not feel pressured. Enjoy your lessons.

How would this course contribute to my professional development?

Thanks to this course, now I know how and in which ways I can integrate technology into my teaching materials. I may not be a huge fan of AI, but since teachers are lifelong learners, I knew I had to keep up with the trends.

Anyway, I really do not know what to add. Final exams are kinda haunting me. Hence, I will be ending my blog here to go and study for my exams, lol.

Take care and stay healthy! Until next time, byeeee.
