Today's Era In Education

      Hello fellas, it's my last hello to you.     We have came to the end of this semester so the end of my Educational Technologies class. Let's talk about my earnings and thoughts about that adventure before my farewell to you.     I've always knew that technology is important and going to be important in English language teaching for me. However; I wasn't quite sure how I can use technology as a future teacher and I was afraid of not knowing enough about it. I was right. Because I've learned so many things like infographics, making a podcast, digital storytelling etc. Besides, I have built a relevance between these things and and education. For example, I can use digital storytelling and infographics to teach boring subjects in a funny way! I can know my students better with bookreview and they can do this for themselves. The only thing that I did and I'm not really certain is posters. I don't know how I can use them for class environment.   ...

      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 t...

     Hi friends! Another week at our homes with pandemic. Doesn't sound well right?     This week I made an infographic. I used Canva as my website again and it was fun. I've learned some statistics. I think infographics are very useful because they have short informations, nice illustrations (as your wish) so that they don't bother the person who reads. They can be used in language for giving learners short informations - especially about boring subjects - and also they can be used for explaining and teaching new techniques /activities to teachers for class. Here is my work if you wanna look; I hope you like it :) See you a week later, take care of yourselves!

Helloo my dear lovely happy followers, this week I’ve made a movie poster! 🎬       We had two choices, making a movie poster from a book or making a magazine cover. I like watching movies but can’t say I've read magazines to be honest so I chose the first one. My poster is from the book that I’ve made it’s review last week, Story of A Downfall. I chose that book since it was hard for me to find a book that I’ve read and wasn’t adapted to a movie. Also, I like movies of old circles so I would like to watch a movie of that book. Here is my work;      Actually I Iike designing works but I don’t know why, making a movie poster wasn’t that entertaining for me. I have used a website whose name is “Canva” and it was useful enough to make this assignment well. I am not sure about giving similar homeworks to my future students though. I think it depends on the class that I will give.      It’s the end of my post. See you later and take care of...

       Welcome my cheerful friends. Let me introduce you my duty for this week.       We created some groups and with that groups we made a padlet page! Our teacher gave us some subjects and we chose “Bullying at Schools”. It was beneficial for me because I am a student too and I must have basic knowladge about this subject. I have learned new points and I realized that in my high school years I was a bystander and I may even bullied my peers on some occasions. On the other hand, if we are going to talk about padlet, I can say that it wasn’t funny for me like the book review. Because the website is a little bit of confusing for me. At first, we couldn’t even join the padlet. After we managed it, we had a problem about how we can make appear our names under/on our writings and at last we couldn’t put our writings in an order. Background and colors are so beautiful but it’s really hard to get at least until you learn how to use padlet. Also, I am a ...

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:...

    Hello to everyone! Welcome to my new post. In this post, you gonna witness another thing I am really amateur at: my first podcast in my life.      Since I am using this blog for my educational technologies class, our teacher gave us an assignment for this week and that is it. In my podcast, I will be talking about what I would like to change about the world and how I would personally contribute to that change. Gamze Şanlı · Changing The World     Making a podcast was a little bit of hard for me. Because I am not a talkative person and I don't like to listen my voice either. I was  stressed at first. But I should get over that, I know. So, maybe that assignment is a step to achieve this right? After making it I was satisfied for making a tool that I have some obsessions and at that time, I began to see the enjoyable parts of it. You can make it funny or calming with adding sounds, you can make jokes - I couldn't do that of course 😕- Al...
