This course is really effective and useful in the learning process especially nowadays . Most of the schools and university are following online learning and such useful items(google form, google doc, excel, Microsoft word...) and apps (poll everywhere, wall word..) engage students in the learning process and avoid boring activities and engaged students in the learning process. I wish I would have enough time to apply them directly in the learning process. It is really an applicable and useful course.

ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you, it's an amazing and interesting course, and we are being introduced to many beneficial tools.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I would change is to take this course on campus rather than online.
I agree with you, this course has really developed our ability to use technology and integrate it with our teaching.
