DIGITAL STORYTELLING

 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, we didn't know this before we finished. We noticed this when we wanted to save it later. Afterward, we tried to do it in a few different apps but none were as good as pixton. Then, we decided to do it again in pixton. As a solution, we decided to take a screenshot of the story. Finally, we used the Windows 10 video editor to record our audio.

Finally, although we had difficulties in creating it, such an assignment can be given or shown to language learners to teach pronunciation and grammar.

See you in a new post next week! Here is our project:

INFOGRAPHICS

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!!

WELCOMING POST

   Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. Actually, I’m doing this blogging for my educational technologies lesson. That’s why my blog will be about the topics we learn in the lesson.

LAST POST

   Hello everyone! It's time to say goodbye to you👋. This is indeed my final post, unlike the one I published last year . Unfortunately, we will no longer have a course that will require us to use our blog anymore. This course, I believe, is a highly valuable course that every teacher should take since it educates future instructors, such as ourselves, on how to successfully integrate and use technology in the classroom. Since all students are digital natives, it can be said that the existence of such a course should be a must.  One of the greatest benefits of this course is that it enables students to comprehend the knowledge they have gained via the use of technology and to conduct their own learning processes. The fact that most of the tasks given after the lessons were done in pairs allowed us to exchange more ideas about the lesson. Thus, the course was made easier by a greater comprehension of the assignments. Also, our instructor's comprehensive and detailed expla...
