#IDT1314: Feelings...

As I began the module in the first, the main focus was to learn how to use the various technological platforms to manage the learning process. Actually, during the 11 weeks that I was studying, I learnt several things. I gained both learning and personal experience that will indeed help me in my endeavor to adventure into the world. During the 11 weeks I learnt that it is not easy to learn and teach a foreign language. It has several challenges that need focus and determination in order to achieve your objective at the end of the period of teaching/study. In the first week, the entire learning process practice as well as the use of different handles for instance Moodle. The introduction to the use of Moodle was very fun and created an interactive and positive model. Actually, the use of this technique ensured that we understood one another in the process of learning about digital technology. The instructor was able to connect everybody to the platform easily.
The learning process gave me adequate experience that allowed me to outline the program for the 11 weeks and utilized the weeks effectively. The first week was basically an indication week; however I was able to learn about the Moodle which is a beauty of online platform. This is an essential platform in creating the courses and concentrated on collaborative and interaction development contents. Some of the topics that I studied from first week to eleventh week include the following Moodle, Educational Technology, SLA & Technology, The Digital Natives Debate, CALL applications, PLEs  & VLEs, Learning Online, Learning Online /LL, Social Web and Virtual Worlds. All these topics were studied in accordance to their order and I was able to benefit greatly. As a result, I gained both learning and personal experience.  I am sure that with this program and my dedication to that I will be able to gain more experience on digital technology in language teaching.
