Hello and goodbye post :(

 And we have come to the end of the semester. In this post, I will share my thoughts about the course we took for this semester. First of all, this was not my first technology course. I had taken the second version of this course last semester. I had not taken the first version last year. Therefore, I cannot fully express my opinion about the adaptation of technology to English language courses before this course, but I would like to share my opinion before these two courses.

 In today's age, technology has advanced a lot and we can see this in every aspect of our lives. Although it has negative aspects, I think its positive aspects are much more and we definitely need to benefit from it. It will also provide great benefits in the field of education, especially in language learning because foreign language learning needs an interactive learning and artificial intelligence provides this. So the combination of the two will make language learning easier and I definitely understood this much better in these courses. For example, artificial intelligence can give feedback to students, give ideas or show them how to learn more easily and simply. It can even make lessons more fun. I definitely understood this better, especially in the last activity we did. How can we use artificial intelligence to create a better classroom environment or what technological tool can we use and how AI can help students with feedback. This is completely up to our creativity and I think that we can get help from artificial intelligence in every field, in every way, in every subject. In general, the tasks given were fun, simple and enjoyable. 

What I learned in this course was that I learned a few ideas when I want to integrate technology into my English course in the future, for example, I can ask them to prepare a podcast or get feedback from artificial intelligence... Yes, I learned such things, but I don't think we need to do these because they were simple things we already do anyway. These can be given to us as ideas and we can implement them in the future, they can show us, but the teacher preferred to have us do it, but if he had told us or shown us, we could have learned more ideas. We didn't need to do these anyway, they were all simple things. I think these ideas should have been integrated into us and more ideas should have been given. Also, the last activity was not something I didn't like but something I didn't understand because how to do it was explained in a complicated way, it could have been explained more simply, for example, did I need to save them all in a file, did I need to record my conversation with the artificial intelligence? There were deficiencies such as, and it was too long. Other than that, it was enjoyable. My favorite activity was to prepare infographic. I learned how to do it and also prepared a beautiful information poster with the help of technology. Overall ı had great time in the course and doing the activities was simple and enjoyable.

Take care!
