The End of Another Term

Resim
      Well, it has been a long journey, but we have come to an end. Different from the last year, in this term I have studied Educational Technologies course. Was it super interesting for me? I would not probably say yes as a person who spends most of his time with things connected to pc and internet. I was -at least- acquainted with most of the content taught in the course.

Cyberbullying includes sending, posting, or sharing negative, harmful, false, or mean content about someone else.
