Wrap-up and take-away

During the New Technologies in the TEFL course at AUA, I had the opportunity to accomplish most of the goals I set at the beginning of the course. For example, through the project I did with other classmates, there was an opportunity to use shared docs and slides to facilitate learning with technology to support student achievement of some of the ISTE Standards for Students. Other technologies that I have found quite efficient and effective in class are podcasts, and blogs. it was the first time for me to study their effects and use in language teaching. 

Moreover, I have learned that it's quite important to take into consideration the target setting when introducing any new technology. Besides, one should keep in mind that technology can not fix every problem in class. one should for other non-technological alternatives that can be as if not more effective as their technological counterparts.
