Creating a movie poster

       Hello again! It has been a while since my last post, and I'm happy to be here again! This week's assignment was creating a poster for a movie, which is actually a book but I create one as if it is filmed, including quotes, the cast, producer, director in it and my aim was to make it eye-catching.        I chose this book because I chose the same book for the previous assignment of mine, and wanted to make the same book again as if this one is the sequel assignment of the first one, and the second reason is it is the last book that I read so it is easier for me to remember it in detail. :D       I used the website "Canva" to create my poster, it is a super easy and beneficial website to create a poster, I'd recommend everyone that website without a doubt. :) And surely I'll recommend it to my students as well. :)      And here is the movie poster that I created for the book "Breakthrough" Breakthro...

An Internet-Based Project

      Greetings and felicitations! This week's task was creating an internet-based project, a wall on Padlet with my friends. We were supposed to write what we know, what we want to know, and what we learned about a subject among the 12 subjects that are given to us and we chose one of them, Coronavirus. We first created the wall and then made our search. We ornamented our wall with colorful, catchy but incentive, and informative GIFs. For me, it was a fun task to do in a classroom environment, I really had fun and probably my students would have fun in the future as well, and studying with my friends in an environment like this was full of fun.   Padlet also is a cool tool to take notes, it is colorful and feels as real as corkboards in our houses, and in an age like this, technology age, it is essential to do these works in a virtual environment, and this is when Padlet saves the day! What I am trying to say is that our students are gonna most likely to be nat...

Wikiing

    Hello again! This week's task was creating a wiki page on a book. The book that I chose is "Breakthrough" by Ken Grimwood. It's a science-fiction and a mystery book.     Wikiing was a joyful task for me, it feels like you are spilling what you think about something and people read it to get the knowledge about the book or what they look for, and it is a pleasing feeling. Also creating a wiki is a fun process too, you are working with a community and you can see what others do, and of course, they can see and comment on yours too. Besides, it nearly has no difficulties, it's so easy to do. I would do wikiing in my class because I believe students can learn better while they are having fun, and it's a fun task. :)     You can reach my wiki task from the link below. :) http://bookreviews.pbworks.com/w/page/142304577/Breakthrough

My Short Story Podcast

    H ello 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. :) View on Vocaroo >>      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...

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. 

Welcome!
