Nazime Tuncay and Hüseyin Uzunboylu
Aycan: “VirtualNeu will be very beneficial for us to learn more about the technology and
it will help us to improve our ways of teaching. I believe that, it is a good opportunity for
us to improve ourselves and discover new ways about teaching. The course and the
content are very good. Thank you for giving us a chance to be a part of this course.”
Begüm: “I think it'll be very useful because there are a lot of things that we can use in
our lessons and in my opinion children's attention is going to be higher when I use this
programme.”
Derya: “My first impression about VirtualNeu is positive. I think it'll gain us more e-skill
and we'll recognize more e-device. I'd like to thanks Teacher Nazime.”
Fatma: “Positive. I hope to learn new things and use them with my students. I am
especially excited about Second Life.”
Gamze: “I was not positive about the course at all at the beginning. Now it slightly started
changing. I started the course thinking that whatever I gain is something good for me. I
think it is very early to say whether or not I did well with coming to the course. I will find
out once everything is done. I need to compare the past and the presence thinking what I
wasn’t able to do and what I can do now and most of all what I can bring to the language
classes in conclusion”
Gulsen: “My first impression about Virtual NEU was very positive, I was looking forward
in joining this group and meeting new people, especially other collogues that work at
various areas and regions on the island with different ages and groups. It makes me
believe that it’s like an in-service course which should regularly happen in order to help
us language teachers integrate special aspects and innovated technologies into our
teaching. I would like to thank the creators and advisor of this course.”
Hale: “It is not bad, though it seems educative. Through time, I can make sure about
myself and then share :))) thanks”
Medine: “My first impression about VirtualNeu was highly positive and still is. I would like
to learn and use new information technologies in my classes. There is one issue that ı
am not very clear about and that is, ' Will we be able to log in as we do now after we
complete this course?”
Meys: “My first impression of the course was that, I thought it would be good advantage
of renewing me in education wise and developing me in a subject "e-learning" in which I
was not familiar with that much. I was glad that I was told about the course and that I had
the chance to participate in the course. I had did not encounter any problems regarding
the online classroom. I found the Second Life classroom amazing. It was something very
new to me but caught my attention straight away. I knew that the course would go
smoothly and without troubles. I thought this because the class in the Second Life world
was done and prepared with a lot effort, so this made me sure once again that this
course would be very useful in my life in developing me. To sum up I am glad to be part
of this course.”
Meryem: “Communication throughout technology in education is getting more and more
important for the past years. I hope in our country one day we will be using e-education
at our schools! So this course definitely seems to correspond our needs in this manner.”
Musteyde: “My first impression was , . I like that very much and I believe that my
students and I would benefit from it a lot. Thanks Nazime and others who put such effort
to produce this.”
Münevver: “I must say that I am really excited about this course but, I need to use
VirtualNeu a bit more to evaluate; it looks useful and informative though :)”
Narin: “My first impression is highly positive about Virtual NEU. For now, ı must say
that ı need to work on it more but ı believe, as the time pass; I will be more effective
using it.”
Nazife: “My first impressions of the course were very positive. I think it will be very
useful. I hope, I learn a lot of things about e- education. I would like to thanks Nazime
Teacher.”
