sbrcndmr learns E.T

     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 assign...

       Greetings to all of you, while we are coming closer to the end of the semester, we are also coming closer to the end of my blog posts and assignments. This one, digital storytelling, was the second to last assignment. Also, this one was more demanding, it consumed lots of time, but more fun than the others. My friends, İdil , Eda , and I (You can reach their blogs by clicking on their names.) created a story at first, then narrated it. I believe that it is not only a fun process for us, the creators, but also it is fun for the children who will be our students in the future, yes, as everyone can understand from what I said, I am planning to use this digital storytelling technique in my classroom. I believe that success happens if you like the subject, school, and class. And I believe digital storytelling is fun enough to make students love the class.        We used Pixton for creating the story, it is a cool application to create unique cha...

     Hello again! We are coming closer to the end of the semester, in other words, these are my probably last posts. :( I have the bittersweet feeling of that but I am also happy to have a wonderful task again. I created an infographic which is about the online courses during the pandemic in Turkey. I've mentioned how, when, etc., and gave tips for the students to be successful. Since I've been through online courses, it helped me a lot to create an infographic. Besides, I believe that an infographic can help a student because it is informative and eye-catching at the same time. I used "Canva" which is familiar to all of us from the last post of mine. Canva is an all-purpose app, one can create lots of things with it.      Here is the infographic that I made. Until the next post of mine, goodbye! ONLINE HIGHER EDUCATION IN TURKEY - Sabrican Demir

       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...

      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...

    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

    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...
