Today's Era In Education

Welcome to my first duty friends! It was hard but enjoyable but hard...     I made a language awarness task with my bestie again. In these tasks, the most important thing is helping students to make them discover. We make them notice. This type of learning is called as " inductive learning ". In our work, we created a corpus for our students' discovery. Corpus is a collection of written texts from different sources. In the corpus we made they all include two particular words. You can see it below. Then, we made some exercises in wich they can use their own earnings and develop themselves. And all these are called " data driven learning ". Super efficient way to lecture.     We decided to prepare our work in the theme of Marauder's Map from Harry Potter because we believe it will attract our students more. I found different sentences from my Harry Potter books and made a corpus while my friend was making practices. Then we put them together with Canva. Here...

    It's me, Gamze, again. But what's happening and why am I here? I will explain to you but firstly let's have a brief chat, shall we?     I was in a short school holiday in Turkey. In these days I did nothing but watching anime and reading books/manga since I was at home all the time. I've watched Neon Genesis Evangelion for the second time, finished Attack on Titan's manga and started to read Jujutsu Kaisen as well as Harry Potter (second time again). Complicated right? I blow hot and cold. I hope you had funier times than mine. Now I am excited for my new term and I will try to do better than I did last term.     To come to the other issue, why I'm here, the reason is that  I have a new course to share with you! It's called Material Design in English Language Teaching. It's about technology in education. My teacher is going to give me some assignments and I will share them with you. Just like we did in the last term. However, I will act as a teache...

      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 ...
