Teacher Reflections after a 5 Day VIRTUAL INSET

Jane D. Engracial

The VIRTUAL INSET 2021 from day 1-5 was indeed tremendous!
Why?
Firstly, I am very interested in teacher education and would like to be
more updated in the new norm, secondly, I knew that the INSET would
require me to gain more knowledge digitally. Although I know the
seminar will require loads of work, I still wanted to take it and I don’t
regret my choice.
There was a great variety of tasks and topics of the seminar such as
Video editing techniques, poster design, mobile apps, people puzzle and
etc., all of which provided me with a different perspective to teacher
education. I had already known about basic tools for teacher

development. However, thanks to the seminar I learned how they are

similar and how they are different from each other. I also became aware
of the particular advantages of each and I even learned about some more
specific tools such a teacher could use. I really enjoyed from day 1-5 and
found the activities meaningful. Especially, I was glad that I had a
concrete reason for learning more and more. Another very valuable
experience the INSET 2021 provided was to keep a teaching portfolio
since we had a real aim for starting an online portfolio and sharing our
work with others, which in return has the potential of being an online CV
that could open up new opportunities.
As the tasks I mentioned reveal, it was the seminar that required a great
deal of autonomy. It was us, learners, who had to work for the progress
of each teacher participant. Even though the idea of online virtual
seminar is a bit boring still was able to manage. Input sounds less
appealing than submitting online assignments at first, I actually thought
that the in-class sessions were more thought-provoking and eye-opening
because of the fruitful discussions being made. I believe that as a teacher

I should be able to discuss with others to brainstorm and gain insights

from these conversations. Therefore, I am of the opinion that the number
of this kind of seminar could be higher.
I highly like the VIRTUAL INSET 2021 as I was able to complete the
tasks meticulously because this is how one can really improve
themselves.
Kudos!
