Feedback from our members:
WC3 have marked a breaking point on my thinking about education. I have learnt that the main role of an educator is to facilitate learning and must able to use all educational tools available, such technology tools. Meaningful learning is the goal. Now, I am working on tailoring a course to be delivered through Nearpod and measure impact over students. I have met other educators in my institution to share this information and to apply apps like Nearpod or Socrative. The impact has been very good and the group have a lot of curiosity on continuous working on this.

I gained a lot from the meeting. I am very grateful to IACLE for this opportunity. First, I learned many new methods in teaching, such as how to use smart tools, inspire students and adopt blended learning approaches. Second, through the three contact lens companies that presented, I know more about the contact lens market, new products and new technologies. I’m looking forward to the future development of optical technology. Finally, I met many new friends from other countries.

I must say the meeting exceeded my expectations. I was thrilled with the personal learning outcomes I obtained.
