Designing instructional activities: differentiated instruction

Basically, teachers must think about students' strength when they plan instructions.That is why planing lessons based on students’ learning styles.When students feel confident themselves, they become more willing to do something in the lesson. 

When I was in high school which is technical high school, I had a English teacher ( who is graduated from ODTU Ankara). She was aware of  my willing to learning English. So, she always keeps saying that "yes, I see you can learn English language easily so it is my advice that when you graduate from high school, do not drop out learning English." On the other hand, I also was willing to do something about computer. And This approach helped me to find what I really wanted. So, this brings to me here. Not only study computer education  and instructional technology but also I study it in English.I had take this kind of risk and I produce something new goal about my self.
 
 I will support my student to take risk that is why taking risk has advantages and disadvantages so students need to know about them for the future. They will understand and find the "good" way while they taking risk. Once again, taking risk get the reinforce and achievement.

Collaboration with Colleagues

Actually, most of students study alone instead of collaborating with peers  and it is shown that engaging in collaborative learning and group study perform better academically.Collaborating comes with improving communication skills, educational experience and enhancing self-esteem.ın addition my aspects  is that I have been some experience about that and it is really increase my skills as I mentioned the other sentence.It improve my communication skils and educational experience. For example, last semester we took CTE-207 course and I come together  with my group members, we share our works in a way. We were working together on our project.So,I collaborate with my peers when we were doing project. Also, it was  really effective for us. I have benefited in any ways similar to ann and jenerra  who is from video. Moreover,my current strength is active participant  in the teaching/learning process.And my weakness is that sometimes, I want to  study alone instead of collaborating with my peers because i think that i do not have enough time. To develop our collaborating skills, we can spare some time to come together with our peers, being effective a group member,explaining our own ideas, trusting, supporting ideas each others and respecting each other.
