My Short Story Podcast

   Hello again! Today, a friend of mine and I, wrote and voiced a short story podcast for you. Its name is The Sheep Killer, it may be a little bit confusing story if you don’t listen to it carefully. Firstly, we wrote the story by using the randomly given words. Secondly, we revised what we wrote and proofread it. Then we searched for the sound effects and picked them for our story carefully. When all of this was over, we sounded it and then edited it with the effects we’ve decided before. Now it is ready to be listened and commented by all of you. :)


    Even though it was a very fun process and task for us, it had some challenging parts too. For example, when we created the podcast, we took the embed link and pasted it directly to our blogs, and it took lots of time and didn’t work of course, as all of you know we are new at blogging. :) At last with a friend’s help, we managed to find the HTML tab to paste the embed link (finally).

    Now I can say that I would do this in my class because students need to learn things by having fun and it is a fun way for doing it.

    Goodbye until my next blogging adventure, and thanks to Dilara Nur Coşkun for being my partner in this podcast. You can reach her blog from the link below. See you and stay healthy :)

21st Century Learning

Resim
       We are living in an age that computers, the internet, or in the most general sense, technology surrounds us. Thus the new generation is well-adapted for the technology, in other words, they are digital natives. Because when they were born, the technology was already progressed enough or they grew up with it, but the old generation witnessed the advanced technology later than the new generation, in another saying, they immigrated. For instance, the new generation makes their research on the web, unlike the old generation who makes it in the library. Thus the 21st-century learning was structured in a way that it is based on not only tasks but also technology. To understand the new generation and our students better we need to integrate the technology into the learning process. But just integrating it is not sufficient of course, teachers must use pedagogic knowledge to make it efficient, otherwise; just using the technology is not helpful.

Farewell!

      This time, I'm not going to start my post with, "Hello again!". Today, I'm going to say goodbye. I have finished all of my tasks for this term and my last task is to say goodbye to you. It has been a fantastic term, I have learned numerous things for my future teaching career. Corpora based teaching, flipped classroom teaching, augmented reality, Webquest... They all will help me in the future for sure. Also, in this modern age digital materials for teaching are crucial to adapt to new era. These are the most beneficial sides of this term for me.     However, I think this course not only has positive sides but also some weaknesses too and I have some recommendations. For example, the task which we were supposed to create augmented reality projects was excessively difficult. No one could find a properly working application and everyone had to resort to alternatives. In a way, it has a benefit for us too, it improved our problem solving skills. But still, it was s

Flipped Grammar Teaching

Resim
     Hello again! this week's task was to create a flipped grammar teaching video, similar to the previous week's task. My friend Yüksel and I(you can reach his blog by clicking on his name.) created a video and an activity to practice what we taught to our students. I created the activity and Yüksel created the video, when it comes to the script of the video, we wrote it together.      Actually, it was a pretty fun task, I had little to no difficulty while doing it, but trying to fit in a time limit was kind of hard, other than that it was easy and fun.     We used Slidepresenter for video and Wordwall for the activity to create them. (You can visit their sites by clicking on them.) Slidepresenter is the tool to voice your slides, and Wordwall is one of the best sites for a teacher to create after-course materials, it includes lots of different types of activities to create. When I will be a teacher, I will definitely use it in my class.     Now it's the time to exhibit
