Digital Storytelling with My Bestie 😏

     Hello theree my friends! We're close to the end of my duties for my class, but who knows, maybe I continue with another aim?

    So let me introduce you one of my last duties, it's digital storytelling. There were three options for this assignment and in the one we chose, we had to make a video about a process. But who are we? It's me and my best friend! We are our besties for a long time and now we made a video together 👯. She loves bullet journals and I love drawing, what could we do? We tell you about making a weekly log for a bullet journal! Her name is Gülsüm Karakuş and here is the blog of her in case you wanna look at: https://moodmudblood.blogspot.com/

    Digital storytelling is such a great way to explain something really. Because it is short, you never get bored. It's very useful for any field, so it is for language as well. The most boring subject in language is memorizing new words for me. Therefore the first thing that came to my mind is that. I think we can use digital storytelling for that case. Also the videos are so entertaining. I love digital storytelling. 

The tool that we have used for editing our video is an app whose name is Filmix. It was easy for me to figure out what I'm going to do in it. But it hasn't got many choices for fronts and these kind of things when you want to add a text, so I've done text works on Instagram. We uploaded it to Youtube to get it's embed. I hope you like our work 🌼



See you in my last Educational Technologies post! Take care of yourselves, wear a mask!

farewell

 No word needed, eh? Well, it was rough, I'll be honest but also it was beautiful. The most beautiful part of this course was that it made me go out of my comfort zone. I've learned many things and I feel a little more confident about technology. Also, we dealt with the hardships together with my best friend and that is another great side of this course. I want to thank to my dear friend Gülsüm. I'm proud of us since we are both not good at technology. This is a big success for us. If we want to talk about assigments, I accept that they are good to learn but there is also a negative side for me: they really called for facility. For example, while we were making our 3D images, Assemblr was heavy for our computer and we couldn't even upload some images we found. My partner waited for 3 hours just to sign in to the app. Powtoon was also the same. I had to reopen my computer sometimes because it stopped working. So maybe the websites or app could be eaiser to use. Buttt, no

a grammar teaching video for flipped classroom

Image
🍙 Welcome! 🍙  Today I won't present you something you don't know (if you read my last post) but a different version of it. There is a small difference.     Last week, I have told you about what a flipped classroom is. It is an approach to the classroom environment in which w e use some tools such as videos, slides before the class to prepare students for the lesson, than give them the chance to learn themselves. Roughly, we only prepare our students but they learn themselves. Last week we made a vocabulary teaching video for the middle school students. This time we have created a grammar teaching video for high school prep clasroom.     While making our video, we used  Powtoon as our tool again. Because as I understood, learning how to use a website is harder than creating a video. So we continued with a tool we already knew. Even if the problems of Powtoon still remains -such as not being able to make our video longer than three minutes- since we know how to solve them from

My First Wikiing Experience: Bookreview

Image
Hellooo! I wasn't here last week so I thought that we should make a cheerfull entry because we are cheerful people right?     This week I made my first wiki page. I was supposed to choose a book that I like and talk about it on my page. I chose a psychological drama which is called "Story of a Downfall" by Stefan Zweig. For me, writing a book review wasn't that hard. On the contrary it was fun. I really loved wiki because I can see my classmates' recommendations. I think I am going to read all of them. Also it has a basic design so it was so easy to understand. I haven't faced any hardness. I think I am going to use wiki with my students in the future since it's a good way to make them know their classmates better. I think it will be useful to getting my students close with themselves.     In case you want to take a look at my book review, there is my wiki page here; Story of a Downfall Author: Stefan Zweig Genre: Pshychological Drama The Number of Pages:
