FEEDBACK
Спасибо организаторам и спикерам за познавательный курс по методам и платформам дистанционного обучения. Особенно понравилось выступление Дмитрия Черкасова, его креативный подход и продвинутые методы обучения с постами и челленджами в Инстаграм и других соцсетях. Теперь я буду увереннее, снимать видео оказывается не так уж сложно, и даже можно привлекать студентов и развивать их творческий потенциал в ходе обучения.
Әр спикердің айтқан ақпараттары керемет пайдалы болды.
Оқушылармен жұмысты басқаша өткізуге идеялармен бөліскендеріңізге рахмет.
Семинар жұмысына қатысқаныма өте қуаныштымын. Жұмысты ұйымдастырған мамандарға Алғыс. Семинарға қатыса отырып, пән бойынша теориялық білімнен басқа, білімді жаңа форматта ұсыну, жеткізу бойынша, жалпы ЦБР қолдану бойынша біліміміді әлі де жетілдіру керек екенін ұғындым. Сіздер берген ақпарат ауқымы өте кең. Оны игеріп, тиянақты үйрену керек. Қазақ тілінде өте жақсы түсіндірілді.
Курс спланирован грамотно, расставлены акценты на нужных вещах при дистанционном обучении и вообще как в цифровой среде “обитать“, спикеры, модераторы и тьютеры подробно объясняли сложные моменты, и реагировали мгновенно на вопросы, то есть обратная связь предоставлена в полном объёме.
Курсты кездейсоқ көріп қалып жазылдым. Алған әсерім мен ақпараттар өте әсерлі болды. Сіздерге жұмыстарыңызда табыс тілеймін. Алдағы болатын курстарға қатысамын.
Осындай семинарларды жиі мектептер мен келісе отырып, жас ұстаздарға өткізу керек. Жалпы семинар ұйымдастырушыларға алғысым зор.
Шығармашылық табыс тілеймін.
Сіздерге алғысымыз шексіз! Осы вебинар дәрістерден көп пайдалы материалдарды, платформа, ресурстарды өзімізге алдық, қалай қолдануды, білім-алушыларға қалай сапалы, қолайлы, қызықты жеткізуді, мотивациясын арттыруды үйрендік. Білім беру бағдарламаларының негізгі басымдығы өзгерістерге үнемі бейім болу және жаңа білімді меңгеру қабілетін дамыту білім мекемелерінің қазіргі уақыттағы басты ұстанымдарының бірі болуы тиіс. Өйткені бұл сала заман көшінен, уақыт талабынан қалыс қалмауы тиіс. Өзгеріс қажет. Серпіліс қажет. Мектеп бағдарламалары да заман талабына сайма-сай жетілдіріліп, жаңаруы тиіс.
