Hi everyone!    For better or worse we have come to another end. This will be my final post for this term and I have mixed emotions regarding it; I feel sort of happy and proud that I have completed all these tasks accomplishedly. On the other hand I feel sad that this will be my last post of this course. I mean when I fırst heard about this blog thing I thought It was unnecessary and useless but then gradually I realized that I had begun to like and now I am used to it. It is like one of my routines. That's why I will keep posting useful posts in my blog whether it is a task or not. Because I really enjoy it now and I want other people to enjoy it as well.

Hi everyone!     In this post I will introduce you three different useful web 2.0 tools via an infographic that I designed on Canva . I might hear you asking what is an infographic or web 2.0 tool.

Children Of The Future

Hey everyone! Today I will tell you about my digital story telling experience and some information about the content of the project. I prepared a PSA( Public Service Announcement) with my group mates; Mert and Buğra . Our announcement is about families ignoring their kids. So we made a short video about it.  We wanted to express some issues that many kids go through nowadays and it will get worse as it goes in the near future. We need to have more time with our kids because if we don't they will never forgive us as the consequences will put them in very tough position and it will be irreversible. You can reach the video down below! Thank you all for your precious time!

Hey everyone! today we'll talk about Padlet, a platform in which you can share your thoughts with others and learn new things. We, a group of 4 students decided to write about "climate change".  When you first start it, you see three sections;             1- What we know      2- What we want to know      3- What we learned Accordingly you fill these blank sections and see your other mates ideas, questions and conclusions which is a great opportunity to have different perspectives about a topic. Frankly, this has been a nice and useful activity for me and hopefully for my group mates because during this project We have learned many things about the subject we chose. Moreover, it strengthened the relationship between me and my project mates and it promoted me more and more to be involved in such activities. I prepared this paddle work with Görkem , Hasan and Erkut and it was a great pleasure for me to work with them. You can reach their blogs by clicking o

An introduction to podcasts

Image
Hi everyone!  Today we will talk about podcasts and their influence on our lives. Moreover i will mention about the process and the podcast i prepared for this post. What's a podcast? A digital audio file available on the internet for downloading in a computer or mobile device.  What is my podcast about? It is about discrimination and it's reflection on today's world. My process of podcasting: It was very enjoyable making and editing a podcast. In the process, i tried to pay attention to my pronunciation and intonation so that the audience will get me clearly, also as this is an educational blog i avoided making grammatical mistakes as much as i can because it can mislead the audience.  In the near future, i will definitely draw on podcast as far as possible because this will help my students learn more actively and improve their speaking and listening skills.   See you on the next posts, take care!
