Welcome to my final post. Today I will talk about my thoughts and what has changed for me during the semester.   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏Taking this course made me realize that internet has much more place in teaching than I ever thought. You can use it in every way; to give tasks, to interact with students, to find and share ideas-knowledge etc. It makes everything easire and more permanent.   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏I have made a lot of tasks since the beginning of this class. My favorite one was making a Padlet with my friends. For m...

Welcome to my final task for this semester. This task was the most challenging yet most enjoyable one so far. It was my first group task with my friends Zinnur and Sena. We chose second option so what we were supposed to was show the process of anything.  It was really hard to find what we could do for this task.  ↪  Sena's Blog ↪  Zinnur's Blog  ‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏Unfortunately I caught covid so I wasn't able to attend the making process.

Infographics | Web 2.0 Tools

Image
  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏    ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏    ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   Hello everyone! Today we are going to talk about what are infographics and what we made with them. Infographics present knowledge, information and things like that in a more visual and colorful way. By presenting them in this way, people can remember the informations way much better. If we add pictures in our texts, anyone who can read them can remember it 25% more.There are a lot of common types of infographics and some of them are lists, maps, flowcharts and timelines. I used Venngage to make my infographic. ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏  My infographic is about 'Best Web 2.0 Tools'. Since Padlet, Edmodo and Wiki were my best helpers during the pandemic and online education period, I wanted to share them with you. You already knew how to use Padlet and Wiki from my old posts. ↪ https://infograph.venngage.com/infographics ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏...

Magazine Cover Project

Image
  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏    ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏    ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏     Hello everyone! In this post we are going to talk about my latest assignment: making a magazine cover! We have given two options, one of them was turning a book into a movie poster, and the other one was making a magazine cover. As I prefer magazines over books I decided to do one. I used Rihanna as the icon of the cover since she is one of the most unique people in my eyes. I found a png photo of her and chose a related color for the background. I also used some other related colors for my topics and the headline for the magazine. The logo of the magazine is the first letter Ü but in a different form and I think the best place to put it is the right bottom of the page. ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   Picsart was the app I used to make this cover. The app has a lot of options. You can do whatever comes to your mind as long as you can imagine. It was a fun activity ...

Best Tool: Padlet | Gender Inequality In Turkey

Today I will talk about my padlet experience and an important topic. If you don't know what padlet is, it is a digital tool that helps teachers and students to share an activity in class. You can think of it as an interactive online board . In my experience we were a group of four people and we chose gender inequality as our topic to think and do an KWL. As gender inequality is one of the most important topics for all humanity, we wanted to talk about that. The most effective way that goes to gender equality is to raise awareness.  We narrowed down the problem to our country. We support our padlet with photographs and resources to make it more enjoyable and trustful.  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏  ...

  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏ ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏    ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   Hello everyone. Today I will talk about my first wikiing experience. Since it was my first time writing such a page, it was a little bit hard initially. But with the instructions of our teacher, it become easier. Other people can edit what we write, so our content enrichs all the time. With the additions of other people, the content also may become more trustful. I will surely use it in my classes alongside recommending it to my students. ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   As for the movie Princess Mononoke, reasons of my choise are my addiction for this movie and the love I have for animated movies. I have watched it several times. I recommend it to everyone. The plot is about the fight between the Forest Gods and the humanity which tries to wipe off the f...

A New Way In Language Learning: Podcasting

  ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏    ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏    ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏    ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   ‏‏‏‏‏‏‏‏   Hi everyone! Before coming to the topic I want to ask you, how are you today? Because right now I am more than happy. It is my first time recording a podcast so all I feel is much excitement. Hope you guys feeling some positive emotions too.           Actually the reason I recorded one was because I was assigned to. But after understanding the positive effects of the podcast, I am happy from having done it. In my podcast I talked about a way to improve the world. Actually before starting my assignment, I was a bit nervous about how to do it. But with the instructions of our class teacher, it was really easy to do. The only hard part was the thinking. As I wanted to be a little creative (if you can say that...) I thought for a while. But it was a nice mental and speaking exercise for me!            ...
