INFOGRAPHICS!

Image
Hello🙋, Today I will talk about infographics I had created. I created 3 infographics about Web 2.0 tools. Web 2.0 tools I write about are Forvo, Grammarly and Padlet(I already write about this tool so you can read it here ). In my infographics, I write information about the  affordances and constraints of each tools and why anyone should use them and how these tools will improve their language skills. You can take a look at my infographics and hopefully can have an idea about each of them. I hope they will help you to improve yourself. I use Canva to create my infographic. I can say it is not wasn’t an easy process to create infographic and even now I am not sure if my infographics are correct or not (hope it is😅). When I become a teacher I would use infographics for my students because infographics informed us a lot, but for sure I would just use already prepared ones😀. Thanks for reading💗.

MOVIE POSTER!

Image
Hello🙋, Today I will talk about the poster I created. For this assignment, we had two options one of the options was creating a movie poster based on a book we read and the other was magazine cover. I chose to create a movie poster because ıt sounds more fun to me. I created my poster based on a Little Prince.                                                                                        -  You can find the original picture here   - I use PosterMyWall to create my movie poster. Creating, process was easy as the site I used was really easy to use. The only part that I had a hard was choosing the cast for my movie. I had fun while creating my poster because I felt like ıt will be us for real so I try to make it as flawless as ıt can be. I think posters will be helpful for my teaching career because I can use it to introduce what I am going to teach my students and I think with posters, they will pay attention to the subject better.   Thanks for read

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

Image
Hello🙋, It has been a while since I post. Today I will talk about the public service announcement (PSA). I created one with my friend Tuba (as always😀). We create a PSA about water pollution.  We chose this topic because water pollution is a big problem in Turkey and especially in Ä°stanbul it is in a severe situation. At first, I think that it will hard to create a video but we created it easily with iMovie (it can be found in AppStore but for iPhone 7 and above). App helps us a lot because it allows us to add our voice over it separately for each video or photo also we add background music easily to it. Our aim is to raise awareness about water pollution and make people to think about this problem and take action to fix this. Here is our PSA you can watch it and may start to take actions in order to decrease water pollution for the next generations. Thanks for reading💓.

You can create an account for free and can make 3 Padlets for free. If you are interested you can create your own Padlet here. For this week assignment, I created a Padlet with my friends Tuba and Berrak . Our topic was ''traffic''. Each of us write about what we know about traffic, what we want to know about traffic, What we learned about traffic individually. As I did it I learned about new information and the third one in what I learned part was a really interesting fact to me. If you are curious about it you can read it. Here is our Padlet you can take a look at it. The process was really easy website is really simple. For our work, I created the Padlet and invite my friends to it and they write about their own ideas on it.  It was a great experience because

NEW WAY TO LEARN: PODCASTING!

Image
Hello Everyone 🙋,   In this post, I will talk about Podcasting🎤🎧 . Podcast is a digital audio file available on the internet for downloading to a computer or phone. If you download it you can listen it wherever or whenever you want. You can find lots of podcasts about whatever subject you want or you can just listen them without downloading.  I would use podcasts with my students since it can help their listening skills and if they created one by themselves it would help their speaking skills as well. As a teacher, it would help to catch the attention of my students as ı can make them listen to different podcasts about different subjects.   You can listen my podcast above.  It is about changing the world in 60 seconds. While I was creating my own podcast I had a hard while trying to make my pace slower as I talk fast normally. I record more than 50 times since I want my pronunciation to perfect as it can be.  Thanks for reading 💓

Have you ever think about that? 21 st   century learning is basically to be able to think critically and be creative.       Students are expected to be a center in class with the help of a teacher of course. Since 21 st  century is basically the technological era learners are expected to use technology to enhance their learning. They don’t limit their learning process only to the class but they keep learning throughout their life with the use of technology. Learners don’t only show their process to their teacher but also with the help of blogs they had created they can share with anyone on the web. Like what I’m doing with this blog I don’t only limit myself to class but also through my blog I'm able to communicate with you.      To f
