According to the results of the online evaluation form administered after the training, the participants stated that they were generally satisfied with the training, found the platform useful, and gave positive feedback in many aspects.
“It is a well thought out and implemented platform that I will use in my school and classroom without any hesitation. It has become a functional and useful platform in terms of being free of charge, providing equal opportunities in education, accessing up-to-date content, and tracking student learning.”
“It is a great free platform where we can create content. There is a lot of great free content we can benefit from there, especially simulations. It is very important for me to be able to access it for free from here because it is very important for the Science course. It is really nice to create a class and be able to follow the student’s progress.”
“I think I will benefit a lot. Of course, it is possible to access many videos or content on the internet, but having well-organized content related to our field is very convenient and time-saving for us as teachers. In addition, I think that it can be a solution to the problems we face because of seeing our students less often at Science and Art Centers, the institution where I work with remote access.”
“Creating a pathway using a combination of many platforms, free unlimited access, It is a great platform that I think will help you even organize weekly plans.”
