My teaching resolution in 2025? Let me get this straight.

My teaching resolution in 2025 is (probably) to deeply integrate technology into the learning process to create a relevant, engaging, and effective learning experience. In this digital era, technology is not only a tool, but also a bridge to reach various potential students. Therefore, technology-based teaching methods are a top priority to maximize this potential.

First, I will utilize a Learning Management System (LMS) such as Google ClassroomMoodle, or Canvas to support more structured learning. LMS will be used to provide easy access to learning materials, assignments, and exams, as well as a means of communication between lecturers and students. That way, students can learn independently anytime and anywhere.

Second, I will integrate interactive learning videos using platforms such as Edpuzzle or Loom. Through these videos, students can get a more visual explanation of concepts, while interactive features allow them to answer questions or provide direct feedback while watching. This will improve their understanding of the material and reduce dependence on face-to-face sessions.

Third, gamification will be one of the innovative methods that I apply. I will use applications such as KahootQuizizz, or Mentimeter etc. to create fun quizzes or learning simulations. With this approach, the learning atmosphere becomes more lively, increases student engagement, and strengthens the retention of the material taught.

Fourth, I will encourage collaboration by utilizing digital tools such as Miro or Jamboard for group discussions and problem solving. These platforms allow students to work together virtually to develop ideas or projects, strengthening their collaboration and communication skills.

Fifth, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology will also be a focus. I will utilize AI to provide automatic feedback on certain tasks, such as essays or multiple-choice quizzes. In addition, AI can help me analyze student progress and provide personalized learning recommendations based on their needs.

Sixth, I will invite students to explore the use of technology in completing case studies or problem-based learning projects. Technologies such as data analytics or specialized software will broaden their horizons on how to use technology in the real world of work.

Finally, reflection and evaluation will be an important part of this resolution. I will ask for regular feedback from students regarding the effectiveness of the use of technology in learning. Based on this feedback, I will continue to adjust and improve teaching methods in order to provide the best learning experience in 2025. Thus, technology is not only a tool, but also a means to produce a generation that is ready to face future challenges.

But still..

It's a (possible) resolution.

I'll try my best.
