I have learned a lot about education through the semester. Since my undergraduate major was Financial Mathematics, I did not know much about education at first. But through this course, I gained a better understanding of teaching. First of all, I learned a lot of online platform software that teachers can use in class, such as Geogebra and Desmos, which can help teachers to better educate in class, for example, presenting a lot of textualized mathematical knowledge through graphs and other forms, and also letting students have a better understanding. In addition, I also learned how to use ShinyApp to create web pages and so on, which made me improve my ability in education.
In addition to that, I also learned to use some AI functions such as POE and ChatGPT. using AI can simplify a lot of work, which will help me a lot in the future. Meanwhile, I also learned the importance of R language. By learning R language, I connected programming and math education, which gave me more ideas and plans for my future career. All in all, this course has given me a great deal of both educational and technological benefits, and I believe that this knowledge and skills will have a positive impact on my future. : In addition, through this course, I have learned a lot about teaching methods and philosophies, such as inquiry-based learning and personalized instruction. These concepts have made me realize that every student learns in their own way and at their own pace, and that instruction needs to be personalized to fit different situations. Also, inquiry-based learning has taught me that students need to practice and inquire to gain a deeper understanding rather than just rote memorization.
All in all, this course has enabled me to gain and improve both education and technology. I believe that these knowledge and skills will have a positive impact on my future and make me a better teacher and a better member of society.
