Another Step

 After working on this kind of project, I realized how hard to make something qualified. It takes a lot of effort to come up with the right idea even though it is easy to put all of them together. But, it's not bad nor is it boring. In contrast, dreaming about students who take advantage of what I did for them and seeing them learning and having fun is a completely different experience. Oğuz and I worked on a sheet where students can learn basic conjunctions, which are crucial for making sentences. We talked about SkeLL in this project to tell students where they can do their researches and see examples. Finally, we gave a couple of tasks for students to practice.

THE END BUT ALSO A START

 As I mentioned before while doing one of the tasks, I took that kind of course in the first semester of the college. Admittedly, I liked the context of the whole course. Same as before, while learning lots of things I actually had fun doing all those things while thinking all the things we did would help both us and our potential students. Technology and education was always a thing that must not be seperated, in my opinion. This semester, I also experienced that. This course helped a lot. If I have to choose one task that was completed during this course, I will say making a Wiki page is my favorite. Not only we have the opportunity to share our ideas on our favorite books, but we can also discover our new potential favorite books by looking at the others' work. I cannot mention the task which is my least favorite since I don't hate any of them as they are really helpful in classes. Finally, the course is sufficiently useful and beneficial not just for the students who learn ...

The Power of Digital Strorytelling

Resim
 As I experienced this kind of method of teaching last year of the college, I can easily say that this method of teaching would be fairly beneficial in language classes. My friends and I used voice recorder apps and a software for that. We combined sound files, photos and videos via Sony Vegas Pro. It is a tutorial video. Students are encouraged to study, do research, comprehend and come to a conclusion. In this way, students learn how to write and improve their works. Making it also gives the student couragement to talk about something they want to talk, they will be less annoyed giving presentations, making speeches. Digital Storytelling is also a fun activity. Personally, I had fun a lot. Making it with friends is especially even more fun. Deciding the story and who talks in particular areas of the Digital Story, trying to give the exact emotion and emphasis, improving the relationship between you and your friends while trying to achieve something together, enjoying the result o...

Infographics and Learning

I find it fairly useful when you teach people.Infographics are one of the easiest way to teach people about something. You see in classes, internet sites, everywhere. And they are so organized that you cannot help reading. I know that. So, I think it's a good way to teach things in class. Not only making it helps a lot, but evaluating, seeing those works have benefits also. They are just like summaries but with a lot of information. Using pictures, key words, and brief explanations make learning inevitable . Students can learn lots of words from it while learning the whole context at the same time. Shortly, in a place where qualified learning happens, infographics are good resources. It might not be a must, but it is quite obvious that it can help a lot.  COVID-19 AND WHAT IT DID TO EDUCATION - HF

Creating A Poster

 We all must have thought making our own movie, magazine, book or something like that. Imagine you're making it true. I can't say I always wanted to make something like that but creating a poster for a magazine is really entertaining. Although I designed mine via an online site, Canva, deciding what kind of poster it'll be is fun. I chose a simple topic for that. I thought making something like a science magazine would be a great idea, so I tried to make something about animals. It would be a science magazine focusing on the world of animals. There are animal rights and most people do not know about them. My magazine may cause an awareness, that's a reason for making it as well. As for this method of teaching, I want to say that anything that is both entertaining an informative must be a method of teaching. Everyone wants to learn something, but the obstacle is learning that in a boring way. Making posters about anything that people like might make a great difference. I...

Padletting Your Thoughts

Resim
I tried padletting and to be frank I love it. It has so much potential in terms of teaching. So many ideas may come to your mind while you are working on your own project, and that is so helpful. My task was to make a Padlet wall explaining a problem and telling about the problem, and I was supposed to make it with my friends, with a group. I chose "violance" and narrowed down the problem to "violance towards animal" or "animal cruelty" as its more known name. I wrote about what we learn about the problem, want to know about some questions on animal cruelty and what we learned from searching for those questions. I had fun making that wall and think that if we can use this more especially in classes we can clearly see that this is an effective way to learn things. Students can write about everything they want and this helps for them not only to improve their writing skills, but also to get close to each other. We have so many right set of circumstance as te...

My Wikiing Adventure

Resim
 Hello, dear readers. Today is the day that I did something that I didn't even think to do before. I wrote a wiki page for one of my favorite books: Sherlock, Lüpen ve Ben. Well, I wanted to write something to show my reviews on books before, but never did that. At least I do not remember doing this so it must not be official. But today I considered about the book, rated it and write my thoughts on it. Firstly, it might seem a little bit boring, I know, but after trying "this method" you will understand what how actually effective doing so is. I said method because I think that it may be a good way of teaching. We all know that our education system is not working so properly, and those kids who has a good future cannot be found easily in this way. But, if we can persuade kids to show their opinion, thoughts, ideas on something, we can understand how one thinks. We can teach them how to respect others' opinions and how to learn from them. Anyways, I really enjoyed  the...
