I cannot believe it. Is this really the last week. Shall I not check on Mondays what the next topic and task is? Shall I not hurry up to type my comment on the discussion board any more? Shall ı not worry about whether I did the task correctly or not? Oh God! It is over and I don't know how I will get used to this gap...
What I did
This week has been much easier than trhe previous ones as there was only one topic and no tasks. However, the LoTI framework is really worth spending time on. It is a kind of mirror actually. When you look at the 6 levels, you replace yourself somewhere in it and this makes you feel that you need to improve.
What I learned
Reading the framework, I realized that I am not that teachere who is quite good at using technology. Sometimes I used to feel that my students are lucky as I use plenty of technology but now I see that they are not so lucky and I need to do more to integrate tech into my classes.
How can I apply
I am thinking of using LoTI framework as a checklist from now on. I will check it from time to time and assess myself in terms of using technology in class. I hope that day will come when I will say that I am at level 6 and then ı will call my students lucky.
This course helped me gain lots of things and I feel I have improved a lot. Thank you Donna, Guest instructors and Classmates.

I have grabbed the chance to take the course "Building Teaching Skills Through the Interactive Web" by the University of Oregon,and it will be great pleasure for me to share every single thing concerning my development through it ... Just have a look at my aquarium and see the orange class members with different colours from everywhere waiting for the orange fish-feed that will come from Dear Donna :) To feed the fish put the cursor on the aquarium, click and watch what happens :)

Dear Nehir
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way you do. I thought that I used technology wonderfully in class, but after LoTi I realized that I do really need to move up.
Luckly this course helped us a lot with our teaching development.

Dear Nehir,
ReplyDeleteThe feelings are the same for all of the e-friends I think, because the expectations and the goals were the same from the beginning of this course, I only have to say thank you Nehir for your opinions and thank you for letting me be your e-friend.
Wish you all the best,
Maggie
