     Hi guys💗    Hope you are doing well! This is my last blog post for this term so it feels a bit weird. Before taking this course, I thought that technology and English language teaching  should always cooperate since the modern-day requires modern-day education methods, my thoughts haven't changed; I still think that technology is a huge part of   ELT as our world is consonantly evolving.    Before taking this course I really didn't know much about the things that we did in this course like an infographic or padlet.

If you are going to create an infographic, I strongly recommend canva as it is pretty easy and fun to use. I think creating an infographic is useful to students because it is very eye-catching and visual, it makes the learning process faster and easier. Here's the infoographic I created:                                                           HOPE YOU LIKE IT!
