There were many interesting experiences using technology 15 years ago when i was at my 12th. So, I did not used technology more often. I clearly remember as I had an old model of Nokia and I used it only for playing the Snake game))). However, technology has changed significantly and its efficiency in various aspects of my life such as my study, work, communication and my personal life. Technology is started to be an inevitable part of the teachers and students (we). It helps to motivate the students to learn and explore new aspects. The teacher should understand why and how students are motivated to learn. Spears (2012) cites the work of Keller. Implementation of technology had a positive effect students technological proficiency and small group interactions., Shapley et al. (2011, p. 299) Especially it really helped me to connect with other from different parts of the world, fostering a sense of global community. I have made new friends, learned different cultures and engaged in meaningful conversations through online platforms and social media..
I have expressed my excitement about the vast amount of information and knowledge available at my fingertips, thanks to the technology. I appreciate the ease of accessing educational resources, news, research articles and online courses that enhance my learning and personal growth.
Technology has provided me with new avenues for creative expression. Platforms such as social media, photography apps and video editing software have allowed me to showcase my talents and express them in unique ways.
I have many their positive experiences with health and fitness technologies. From wearable devices that track my physical activity to apps that provide guided meditation or nutrition advice, technology has helped me improve my well-being and lead healthier lifestyle. It also helped me to enhance my productivity through stay organized, to prioritize tasks and manage my time efficiently.
Besides all of given experiences, I have more to say. From my Innovative learning and teaching module which I have recently taken I started to implement new and interactive learning management systems as like Moodle, Canvas, Google classroom and online platforms like Padlet, Quizzlet, Wordwall and H5P. These platforms allow me to create and manage courses, share resources and interact with my colleagues through discussions.
Another new experience for me was replacement of traditional textbooks to the digital content and e-books. these resources offer multimedia elements, interactive features, and the ability to search for specific information. As an example Google Scholar, Research Gate programs help me to search specific research question to my topic. I can access these materials on laptop, tablets or smartphone making learning more flexible and accessible.
I have had many challenges, such as technical issues, lack of training and difficulties adapting to new platforms. However, I have had many more positive experiences with technology in education and I find it valuable for my personal learning, collaboration and access to vast range of resources.
Overall, technology in education had transformed my learning experience, making it more interactive, personalized and accessible. allowed me complete my tasks faster and more effectively.
AI- driven tools in learning and teaching is a fast growing field and new insights about using AI is developing. The purpose of using AI in education is to increase learning experience, instruction and instruction giving. Good qualified teachers will continue exist near the future and they boose students creative thinking, intelligence and communication. (Manyika et al. 2017) Using AI in education can create individualized, effective learning experience through which learners reduce teachers workload, improve their own creativity and finding out their inner talent. (Heseski 2019). With the help of Artificial intelligence teachers can boost individualized education for their learners. ( Sekeroglu, Dimililer and Tuncal 2019). For the given reasons I have also implement AI tools for creating colorful lessons: presentations and activities. This technological advancement prevents waste of time, incrase quality of my lesson and lessen the paperwork in the learning process. I hope with with nice tool teaching and learning will be more engaging and motivating.
