One aspect of the course that I particularly enjoyed was the opportunity to practice using various applications. The hands-on activities allowed me to actively engage with the tools and gain practical experience in their use. This experiential learning approach helped solidify my understanding and confidence in utilizing these applications effectively in the classroom.
