THE FINAL POST

    Greetings again! But for the last time... We have come to the end of the semester thus it is the last post of mine. I am delighted to be able to attend this class and learn things which will be my helpers in the future, I am so grateful to learn various tools and ways for integrating technology into education. However, as I should be, I am also sad because it came to an end. 

   Before getting this course, I was not an abstainer for integrating technology into education too. Though I had little to no ideas about how to do it. This course helped me to find "How?". It granted me so many tools such as Wikiis, Canva for so many things like creating a poster or infographic, Pixton, Padlet for taking notes, Vocaroo for making a podcast, Wordart for word clouds, and various unique experiences from the lessons.

  From the tasks I counted above, I liked creating a movie poster the most. Because I love reading books and watching movies a lot and this assignment was a combination of both. How could I not like it? and the least favorite assignment of mine was, I actually liked all of them but if I have to pick one I would say creating an infographic because it was harder for me to do than the others and I believe it was less joyful.

  I like how this course is taught because it involves joy in it. To improve it I would definitely suggest integrating Kahoot games in this lesson. Since it is the best way for having fun and practicing what you have learned at the same time.

  So, unfortunately these are my final words, until a brand new adventure, take great care! And never cease learning!

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
