Hello friends,
In my last (hopefully) semester of my university life I had the chance to take Instructional Technologies and Material Design Course from one of our great lecturers Gökçe Kurt who guided us through this journey to become a 21st century teacher.
During this semester, we have learned about a lot of new tools, websites and technological materials that can help us become a more efficient teacher whose lessons are affective and enjoyable. We learned about tools like Canva, Wikis and Blogs to make our lessons are up-to-date and interesting for 21st century kids who grew up with smart devices.
We not only learned about tools etc. but we also learned to find our own tools and create unique materials. When I go and look back at the things I have created for this course I feel proud of myself: the funny friendship video we created with my BBF Liz; and the poster I made about for a town in a video game give me such joy.
As teachers of tomorrow we have a big role in raising future generations and if we continue using archaic methods, which have been proven fruitless time after time, we will fail at it. In the age of technology, we should use technology for more things than social media. Technology gives us so many possibilities - not using it would a big mistake.
Talking about these stuff made me think of a song from an animation movie called "Lorax" that gives me such hope and I believe it’s never too late for a change. I believe in my country’s future generation and I believe as teachers we should take more responsibility for a better future.
The song I mentioned is below,
Until the next time!🐼
