The End of a Great Time

   We have came to an end with the posts about my university course assignments. The end of the term is coming soon and this will be my last assignment, to write a final blog.

   I have deeply enjoyed writing these blog posts and doing other tasks with friends. I will still post other things but I feel a weird sadness that I can not really explain. In this post I will reflect upon my experiences with this course and how it helped me get a deeper understanding of technology.

   Before I took this course I did not really think about how I would integrate technology to my future classes. After this course however, I learned of many ways to add technology to my lessons. I have thought about how I can get my students to do a podcast or write a blog like myself. I have done many things, like writing a blog during this course, that I would have never done without any recommendation or obligation and I enjoyed every moment I did them. This fact helped me to see that I can help my students to experience this enjoyment too.

   Of course I liked some assignments more than others. I have done a digital story with a friend which was immensely long and fun. We needed to solve a lot of problems during it and when we managed to solve them it felt like as if we have completed a puzzle. We could also show a lot of creativity because the only limit we had was on the time department. Making a podcast on the other hand was less fun than this. Because we had lots of limitations like time, word and sound effects we could not enjoy it as much.

   Despite its helpfulness this course was pretty frustrating at times. I never liked restrictions on my school life. I would get really angry during exams or projects where we had lots of constraints, especially word limits. I think this course can be more free on a couple of areas. Podcast assignment could be extremely better if we did not have as many limitations as we did. Just a five minute podcast with 2 to 4 people and no topic or content limitations could give way to extremely quality content like it did in former courses of us.

   Apart from these I am very happy to have taken this course and I will keep posting about other things.

   Thanks for reading and walk tall.
