Your Reflections

1. How can MOOCs help you in your future career as a professional teacher and as a

lifelong learner?

As a future teacher, MOOCs helps me to realized that technology has a big part on our lives and at the same time in our learning. Through MOOCs we can explore more new things that can help us in our teaching-learning process. It more convenient for me as a future teacher to get information and at the same time it helps me to enhance my computer skills on exploring online learning through MOOCs. It is an educational course content that may help a lot the students if using this. As a lifelong learner, MOOCs help me to give the opportunity to have a quality education. The knowledge that I will get in MOOCs will help me to become a knowledgeable person I will share it to my future students someday. It also helps to become prepared for my future profession. I will use it in my daily life of teaching for my students to have higher education.

2. What did you learn from the way the providers use technology to teach in the

MOOCs?

One of the learning that I gained from the way the providers used technology to teach in the Massive Open-Online Courses (MOOCs)was technology provides an opportunity for many people to have a good education. Also, that nowadays, distance is not a barrier anymore to us to learn and it’s all because of the help of technology and at the same time MOOCs. It is more convenient to learn through MOOCs for the people who have a busy life in working and not able to go to school because MOOCs are online courses that open to a group of people. This course can be accessed by anyone anywhere as long as they have internet connection. Even though it is online courses, people of the group builds a learning community through opportunities to interact. MOOCs give their participants to test knowledge about the topics that they discussed like in classroom but in this it will give online. They also provide a feedback from the performance of their participants through the use of technology.

3. How will you prepare yourself for MOOCs, as a learner, and as a teacher, who may someday teach a MOOC?

I will prepare myself for Massive Open-Online Courses (MOOCs) as a learner by

trying to use this course. I will explore their MOOCs providers like Coursera, Edx, Udacity, Udemy, Iversity and ect to learn more about this course. Through exploring this courses I will become familiar to their programs. It will not be so hard for me to try MOOCs. After I prepared myself by experiencing this courses, so as for the future teacher that who may someday teach a MOOCs by still using it. By that time, I assure to myself that I will improve more my skills to be more an effective facilitator. So, that I will help my help my future students effectively to learn. For me the learning experience of online learning and traditional are just the same. The only difference between the two are just a place. They are both helping the participants or learners to learn in different ways of learning. To make it short, it is not hard to become prepare for MOOCs because it is just like traditional but now through using technology.
