Final Post for the Current Issues in Teaching Course

First, the course was useful. Because we learned and used some new technology tools and apps. I think the strength of this course is the hands-on experience with new technology that we gain through the tasks. However, we needed to work in groups to do the tasks and I couldn't find a good partner. Thus, I had to do most of the work, and I think group work is the weakness of this course. 

In my view, group work isn't suitable for Türkiye. Because in our culture work is seen as a burden and that's why there is a saying in Turkish "Kolay gelsin." (may it be easy). Therefore, people try to work less and earn more. The fact that you can't see almost any news about successful Turkish entrepreneurs while you can see a lot of news of fraud is the evidence. 

My favorite task was creating VR-integrated teaching material. Because, while creating this material I could see some places in London on a 360 video and, I was able to have a virtual tour of the British Museum. It was a delightful experience for me. On the other hand, creating a video was my least favorite task as it took a huge amount of my time.
