For module 3, I realize that sharing my own stories feels easy and connects me with others. However, adding suspense and humor is tough but important for making stories stick. I want to learn to keep people hooked without revealing too much too soon and to add fun to my stories to make them more enjoyable. Moving forward, I’m dedicated to practicing these skills. My goal is to tell stories that not only share a piece of me but also truly capture and entertain my listeners. This reflection has made me more determined to improve and make my storytelling richer.

For Module 4, I learned a lot about how to design lessons and why it’s important to keep students engaged. My project explains computer parts through an interactive video with quizzes and activities. These interactive parts not only helped me see if people understood but also made learning more enjoyable. The course had a good mix of reading and doing things, which really helped me understand better. Compared to other classes where I mostly just had, this one let me do more and be more creative. Module 4 showed me how important it is to keep students involved in their learning to help them understand better.

For module 5, the ChatGPT’s response to Adam Tal’s text-based RPGs, I am struck by the depth of insight it offers into the integration of AI in game development. My analysis using the TPACK framework underscores the collaborative potential of technology and content knowledge in enhancing learning experiences, particularly in fields like game design. The versatility of ChatGPT in providing comprehensive insights across diverse subjects, including game development, is evident. Moreover, I recognize the role of ChatGPT in providing a starting point for idea generation, even if it may not generate entirely novel concepts independently. This experience showed me that AI like ChatGPT can help with being creative and coming up with new ideas, although it has some limits.

In general, reflecting on all the modules, I have observed that there’s a continuous need for refinement in teaching methods, especially with the rapid advancement of technology. Incorporating technological innovations can significantly enhance teaching content and delivery. Additionally, I’ve learned that balancing various tools introduced throughout the course can add an element of enjoyment for both educators and learners. However, it’s essential to remember that the effectiveness of these tools ultimately depends on thoughtful consideration and strategic implementation.
