My Journey Learning New Educational Apps: From Confusion to Confidence
Title: My Journey Learning New Educational Apps: From Confusion to Confidence
As someone deeply involved in education, I've seen how learning has evolved over the years. What was once focused on books, blackboards, and traditional teaching methods has transformed to include so many digital tools and interactive ways to engage students. My own journey of learning how to use educational technology has been filled with challenges, discoveries, and a lot of growth.
When I first encountered apps like Quizizz, Kahoot, podcasts, Canva, CapCut, Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint etc. I didn't know where to start or how to create anything using these tools. It felt challenging, and I even felt frustrated because I didn’t understand how they worked. But I knew that adapting to these tools would not only help me but also benefit my students/ studies.
I’m thankful to the person who gave us this activity. At first, many of us complained because we didn’t know how to use these apps, but now we see how valuable these tools are for education. For future teachers like us, learning these apps will help us teach in creative and effective ways.
This experience has taught me that even if something seems hard at first, with time and practice, it can become a skill that benefits both us and our students. These tools will definitely be useful in my journey as an educator, and I’m excited to keep using them to make learning better for everyone.
