Hello🙋 Today I will talk about Augmented Reality integrated teaching material I did it with my friends  Derin  and Şebnem . Augmented reality is  an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information . (Source  Wikipedia ) We had two options. Exploring a city or exploring a global issue. We chose to explore a city. Our city was Paris.  We created a handout for students. By using handout and Arize app students can explore Paris. We introduced the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, and Macaron. After exploring these students are required to write a message to their friends. Being honest creating AR was really hard. I was the one who created in my group so I can say creating process was really painful for me as I had to do it three times. Derin and Şebnem wrote questions. we chose videos and photos together. ...

Hello🙋 Today I will talk about the Corpus based material design I did. Corpus is a collection of linguistic data. For my assignment I did a corpus about Adjective&Adverb. My target group was high school students, so I try to make it simple for them to understand and follow. To create my corpus, I based on a 9th grade book by MEB ( ministry of national education). At first, I didn’t have any idea about the corpus before, so I had a little bit of confusion about what to do. After the online class, I understand what I should do. This was my first time creating a corpus so before outcome I asked my teacher for a feedback after the feedback, I received I change it a little bit and finalized it. I used Canva to create my worksheet. As I used it before I didn’t have a hard time while creating it. So here is my worksheet hope you like it.  Stay safe! Thanks💓 Elif

Hello🙋 Long time no see! Here I am once again using this blog. I will continue this blog for my Material Design class. For this class, I will design materials and share them here as I did last semester. I do not know how to design materials but I will try my best to learn.  I am sure at the end of the semester I will learn how to design different and fun materials for my future students. I really hope that this class will contribute to my knowledge and make me a better teacher for the future. Due to CoronaVirus breakout for the time being my school will continue with online lessons so I am not sure how things will be like but I think online lessons will be sufficient for me to learn.  Who knows maybe this outbreak will contribute future education system so instead of being negative let's be hopeful for a better future where everyone will be safe. Lastly please stay at home, wash your hands and be safe! I am sure we will overcome this situation if...

Hello🙋, It is time to say goodbye😢.                                                                          source Through this blog and Educational Technologies class I learned a lot of things that will help me to become a teacher who can use technology to educate my students. Thanks to Educational Technologies class I learned about a lot of things like how technology can help me to become a teacher who have skills to teach in the 21st century.

I really like the Educational Technologies class because we did something different from other classes I have. The only ...

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💗.

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.

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 İstanbul 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💓.
