Boost your educatıonal technologıes knowledge wıth me

 Hello everyone! It's time to say goodbye to you👋. Unfortunately, this will be my final post. Therefore, this post will be about the tasks I have done so far. Actually, I had little idea about technology integration in teaching English before taking this course. I thought we would try to make the lesson fun by just making different slides for language learners in this course. Fortunately, we did nothing as I thought, instead we did a variety of student-centered tasks. Thanks to this course, I learned how to integrate technology with the lesson and how to use it later. Most importantly, in this course, our instructor set us free and wanted us to discover the tools ourselves. So we were all responsible for our own learning. In this way, everyone learned the applications from their own experiences. Later in the lesson, reviewing my friends' tasks and learning the different applications they used made it easier for me to understand the integration of the course with technology.  ...

 Hello everyone! This post will be about creating a digital story that our lecturer gave us as a task. For this group task, I, Buse , and Burcu formed a group of three. Also, you can visit my friends’ blogs by clicking on their names. In fact, our lecturer gave us three project options. The first was to create a public service announcement, the second was to make a how-to video, and the last was to create a fictional story with illustrations and sounds.  We decided to choose the last project we thought we would enjoy while doing it. We wanted to prepare our story for younger age groups. Thus we chose to share, which is a very important issue. We used the pixton app to create the characters and dialogs. Pixton has a lot of options you can use to create things like characters and scenes. But I would like to mention that most of them are paid. In fact, the worst part of the app is that you have to pay if you want to download or get the link when your comic is finished. Frankly, w...

Hello everyone! Happy New Year🎉. I hope you are all healthy and well. This post will be about creating an infographic that our lecturer gave us as a task. We were supposed to create an infographic about online higher education in Turkey during the pandemic and provide tips about how to be successful in online education as a university student. For those who don't know, infographics are easy to understand presentations using graphics, images, and a short text about a topic. You can create an infographic on any topic you want. For this task, I used piktochart web app. It's very easy to use the tool also there are many templates and images that you can use. By creating infographics, you can teach language learners some grammar rules or new words in an effective and fun way. Consequently, infographics are a very useful teaching and learning tool as they summarize a topic on one page. Here is my infographic. See you in a new post next week!!
