Even though I didn't start teaching yet, but it always comes to my mind how in my teaching I should be creative and always use interesting skills and modes. A professional teacher should always adapt her mode of teaching in order to meet the needs of the students and especially during these days. Nowadays technology is a major part of every person's life and so the students, thus integrating technology to the classroom is now a mandatory issue in order to keep students involved and to their interests.
Through taking this course, I learned many things about integrating technology to our classrooms in a proper way, thus it seems that this step in my teaching in the future seems to be a good point.






In this course, we discussed many main concepts and did three main projects (blog, poster, web quest, and VCT).

• Creating a blog was the first experience for me in blogging and I really enjoyed it and it was the most. In this blog we used to put our thoughts about education and but in an interesting way. A blog is something like you have your own space and you fill it the way you like and enjoy :)

• The second project was creating a web quest and I also enjoyed doing that; my partner and I collected information about meiosis and we did our web quest about it, also we did evaluations for the students as if we are discussing the lesson but online and that was interesting.

• After that, we did the poster. We first learned how to design a poster and that is very important for us as future teachers. My poster was about the sociology research (effect parents educational level and job on child's achievement)

•  The last thing to do is the VCT and this is the largest project which we need to present also; the VCT is like presenting a unit online. We chose the biology unit (feeding behaviors of animals), we are preparing the material to our VCT. I am really interested to start creating the VCT and learn more things that are possible to improve my teaching in the future.
