  THE END IT WAS FUN  Hi everyone. This is my final post for this course. I have learned many things this semester.This course enhanced my creativity and 21st century skills. First, we started to write blogs. I wasn't experienced before. It was fun. I would make my students blog as well. Thanks to this course I have experienced many things like wikis,podcasting and so on. This course showed me that we can use blogs for ELT and it is very effective. We are living in a digital era so integration of technology into learning is cruical.Bloggin were effective for us. Among the tasks that were given to us, I can say that digital story is my favourite one. I enjoyed it a lot. Also, it is important for people so that is the one of the reasons that I like it. Thanks to our teacher for everything she added me a lot. Also thanks to my friends as well we did many thins together and we spent times together. Thanks for everything...  Take care :)

DIGITAL STORY   Hi everyone! It's nice to see you again. Today I will talk about my first digital story experience.Me and my friends (Arda, Yiğit) created a digital story. Our teacher gave us three options and we decided on a topic about public service advertisement. We decided on to make blood donation advertisement. As you know, the are always a need for blood and we should make donations. It's not only for our health, also for the others'.  The process was not hard. Everyone in the group had their own duties. Yiğit for example created the animation and Arda and me edited the animation and added our own voices.The only thing that I can say which was hard is editing the video. I have never edited a video so it was my first experience. In the future I will give such tasks to my students. It's important for their creativity and multimedia literacy. See you soon. Take care. :)

New experience: Creating a digital poster Hi everyone, today I will talk about my new experience: Creating a digital poster. Our teacher gave us this assignment and she asked us to do a digital poster which includes some topics like music,fashion, etc. I chose to create a car poster. It is my favourite topic as I interested in cars. This poster is about the new 100% electric car. The process was easy but deciding on the topic was a little bit hard for me. This assignment is good for students as it is improving 21st century skills. I will give digital poster task to my students in future. I liked it very much.Students can show their creativity during the process. I will add the link below. See you soon:) https://www.canva.com/design/DAFXY97VsFI/rycabxeJsFfq33yKpAN5-A/view?utm_content=DAFXY97VsFI&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

MY FIRST PODCASTING EXPERIENCE  Hi everyone. Today I will talk about my first podcasting experience. Our teacher gave us some choices and I chose the one that could be done individually. The task was 'How can we improve our world?' and we were assigned to do it exactly in 60 seconds. The hardest thing was managing the time but, I enjoyed it.  I used vocaroo to record my voice and save it. The process was easy however, listening your own voice is not something that I like. My topic was about economical things. I think the world that was balanced in econmical things would be a better place. I talked about this for 60 seconds. Finally, I think podcasting is good in terms of students' speaking skills because most people are not good at speaking English especially L2 learners are afraid of talking English and this work is very benefical for this problem. See you soon :) Vocaroo'da görüntüle >>

 Hi everyone :) It's nice to see you again. Today I will talk about my first padlet experience that I made with my friends İrem, Nehir and Defne. We were given to choose a topic among the global problems that we experience today. They were migration, unemployment etc. We chose gender inequality topic and we wrote our thoughts about the content. It was a step by step first we wrote what we knew about the topic and then what we wanted to know and finally we wrote what we learned after searching the topic on the internet. Padlet was an easy tool to use for me. It enabled us to work collaboratively and we could see our thoughts on the padlet wall which was nice. Padlet enables people to work together. It is very nice and I think we can use it our ELT classrooms as well. It could be a nice option for homeworks.  Thank you for reading, see you later. Take care :)

  Hi everyone, We are assigned to do a movie review for our Educational Technologies class this week, me and my friend Nehir decided to watch The Truman Show. We both liked it very much. Sometimes we find ourselves thinking about the World and the universe or our lives and this is a such a movie that you will start questioning your life in the end. It’s my first Wiki experience and it was a good experience for me and also for my friend Nehir. I have learned that Wikis are good for information sharing and doing something together. We can work and think collaboratively. I will use Wikis in future as well. I hope you will like my review about the film. Take care, see you soon J

                                                                    21st Century Learning Today it is almost impossible to imagine a world without technology. We use technology in almost all fields, so it has a vital role in education too. So we should not restrict the use of technology in our classes. Technology integration in classrooms Technology has improved our education. Technology-integrated classes could help students to improve their skills such as creativity, critical thinking etc.Also, technology use in classrooms could make the learning process easy. As a ELT candidate, I will use the benefits of technology in my classroom too. Traditional methods may not be enough to learn so I need to improve the learning process. I hope you enjoyed my writing. Take care. :)
