Goodbye Again :))

-

     Hello :)) We have come to the end of the term and my Current Issues class is also ending. Through the term, we learned how to create various types of learning materials by integrating different types of technologies into our teaching. My favorite part about this course was being able to see how my technological skills improved after completing all the tasks. It was also very beneficial to improve our collaborative skills by working with a peer during the tasks. Büşra and I had so much fun exploring new tools and technologies. However, sometimes it was a little bit hard to keep up and complete all the tasks. My favorite task was creating an AR/VR teaching material. Our topic was "Marine Pollution" and I loved exploring 360 videos about the topic. My least favorite task was creating a flipped teaching video because it was difficult to record our voices and synchronize the voice and the video. Students who are going to take this course should complete all the tasks delicately because seeing how your technological skills improved since the beginning of the course is amazing. Through this course, I learned about various ways and technologies that I can use in my future classes. Especially I really liked the idea of a flipped classroom. I hope to integrate different types of technologies and approaches into my future classes. 


Dear reader; thank you for accompanying me through my adventures, Hope to see you soon with different content :))

 Hello Everyone!! This week for my Educational Technologies class we were assigned to watch a movie and write a review about it. My friend Büşra Hazal Sert and I watched Lucy and we wrote a movie review about it on our class wiki page. Lucy is a science fiction and action movie aired in 2014 and it is about a woman (Scarlett Johansson) who achieved to use 100% of her brain capacity which made her solve the mysteries of the universe and humankind. Büşra Hazal and I could not stop laughing in some scenes because they were looking very unreal. However it was a great and interesting movie with awards and nominations that everyone should watch. Especially the visual effects were really good for a movie from 2014. I had great time using our class wiki page and working with Hazal. Wiki page was easy to use and being able to edit and write our comments about a movie we watched or we want to watch in the future was very entertaining. Using wikis as collaborative writing tools is a really ...

Padlet

      Hello Everyone!!! This week my friends Salih, Büşra Hazal, and I were assigned to do collaborative work on Padlet. First, we created a wall on Padlet, then we chose a problem from the list that was given to us. We chose unemployment. After that, we started creating a KWL chart on Padlet. KWL chart is a chart that consists of three parts. The first part is the part where you write what you already know about the topic. The second part is what you want to know and the third part includes what you learned. We filled each part about the unemployment issue in Turkey. In what we learned part we found answers to our questions from what we want to know part. This way we became more knowledgeable about the unemployment issue and how it is handled by the government.      During our project; Padlet helped us to create a chart collaboratively. Me and my friends loved working and spending time together. It is very easy to create a Padlet account and start usi...

Importance Of Using Technology In 21st Century Teaching

-
      21st century learning includes using a lot of technology because the 21st century is the century of technology. Students who were born in this century are used to taking advantage of technology in every aspect of their lives which makes them digital natives. That is why it is essential to use technology in teaching. Using technology in language teaching classes is also very significant because teaching and learning a foreign language is not easy but using technology can help many students and teachers in the process of learning a language. This can only happen by integrating technology successfully in language classrooms. Integrating technology in English classrooms has benefits such as; helping students focus on the subject better by using technology that they are already familiar with from their daily lives, accessing the needed information and language materials a lot easier, reaching every student with learning management systems, making lessons more creati...
