1 Week 10- End of my Oregon Journey

My mind has fallen into some horrible shutdown. I find no words to write to my last blog. Looking back my previous posts when thoughts would flow from my mind, I was amazed to see my progress for the last ten weeks. It is surprising to realize one’s own improvement and I am able to see this progress via my blog.

What I gained from this course can be outlined very shortly:

1. Blogger, delicious, webquests, interactive quizzes and powerpoint presentations. They were all new to me. It is interesting that at the beginning of the course I thought myself as a skilled computer user but now I laugh to myself. Loti framework also helped me evaluate where I was before the course and where I am currently. I am excited about implementing all the things I learned in this course.
2. Thanks to our weekly readings, articles, and assignments, I was able to refresh and attain knowledge on different topics all related to classroom technology.
3. In ten week’s time I had opportunity to participate enjoyable and informative classroom discussions and debates on Nicenet with my very precious friends. Reading everyone’s post, evaluating their comments was also the most indispensable part of this course.

I can say with all honesty that I learned more than I expected or intended. A great investment for myself. Last but not least, I want to thank Deborah and Sandra for their valuable feedback and comments to our posts.


Regards,
Gülsen

  1. Dear Gulsen,

    isn't it amazing, our heart is so full of words, but they do not come down easily. They must have already been translated to something else beyond words:
    knowledge, plans, emotions, a new and more articulate network in our mind. Let it boil for a while.

    I have taken a look at your course blogs and it is obvious that the students will be taken to a new kind of learning experience through it.

    I wish you a lot of success!

    Best regards,
    Andreja
