After preparing the questions, I reviewed them with my colleagues, whose feedback was really helpful for refining the question...

5TH WEEK BLOG: WEB 2.0 TOOLS FOR MODERN TEACHING (COURSERA)

Before starting the topic, I will briefly talk about what I learnt from the course and the difficulties I encountered and try to explain what I learned with the help of the videos I watched. I have learnt the importance of integrating Web 2.0 tools in education and how to use these tools with the right strategies. I believe that this knowledge will help me to develop more effective and interactive methods in education. In particular, I have realised the importance of selecting the tools that suit the needs of the students and implementing these tools step by step. However, I face some difficulties in determining which tools are the most appropriate and learning how to use these tools in the best way in my lessons. These difficulties are minor difficulties caused by using any web 2.0 tool for the first time or not fully understanding how to use it. In this process, I think I can solve the problems by improving myself through continuous practice as well as getting support from my col...
