PODCASTING !

 

Hello everyone,

Welcome to my blog ! 

 I shared my opinions about the changes I would like to do for the world in my podcast.

 

    In this task, I created a podcast where I talked about how I would change the world, what changes would I make and how I would contribute to that change.In this process, it was not that difficult to come up with an idea and talk about it because as everyone else, I already had my own ideas about changing the world.So, I just summarized my thoughts and talked about them.The difficult part for me was the whole recording, saving, publishing and embading parts.I had a hard time with the technological stage of the task.I realized that even though I am at a young age, I am behind the technology.It may be because of the traditional education system I experienced.I was a bit stressed during the rough parts but once I figured out how I am supposed to get things done, it was quite enjoyable to be able to try new ways and adapt them to learning.I imagine that it would be even more enjoyable to adapt them to my teaching methods.

 

    I would use this kind of activity in the future with my students because with the technology developing in every second, learners should have the chance to use it for their own benefit.They can explore new learning techniques and enjoy the learning process.

 

    I hope you will enjoy listening to my first podcast !

AUGMENTED REALITY IN EDUCATION

Hello everyone ! In this post, I will tell you all about something very cool! I prepared a handout which is integrated with Augmented Reality for language learners with my group friends. We were unable to use a real AR application because of some technical issues so we used qr codes instead. I hope that technology will keep up with this awesome opportunity. About our task, we decided to provide students with some of the most famous landmarks, museums and events of the New York City. QR codes were easy to implement so they worked perfectly. We had a hard time finding 360 videos including some information about the places but with some research, we were able to install great videos! You can see how it works below in our informational video. I think once there are more applications available online, these kinds of activities will become so much more beneficial and fun. For the time being, here is our HANDOUT for language learners. OUR INFORMATIONAL VIDEO ABOUT THE TASK And here are ...

CREATING A FLIPPED VOCABULARY TEACHING VIDEO

     Hello everyone ! In this post , I will tell you all about my latest creation . I prepared a flipped vocabulary teaching video with my group friends and you can see it at the and of this post . We were asked to choose 10 words from a unit within the given coursebook and create such a video for teaching those words . Also , at the end of the video , you can see the matching game we created for checking the understanding of the students 😊       I think creating these kinds of flipped classroom videos are so helpful for us in terms of having some experiences in this approach . Also , in terms of implementing this approach to an English classroom , it would be so much beneficial for students because a language can be learned through interaction and exposure of the target language . However , with limited classroom time , teachers don’t have the time for such activities . In this sense , there comes the flipped classroom approach . It allows teachers t...

CREATING A FLIPPED GRAMMAR TEACHING VIDEO

  Hello everyone ! In this post, I will write about my flipped classroom grammar teaching video task. You can see the video we created at the end of the post. I worked with my group friends Orçun Özcan and Ömer Arda Özdinçer. We were familiar with creating such videos so, we basicly came up with a structure for our video and shared the work equally. We didn’t have any problems with that because the site we used which is “ www.nearpod.com ”   allowed us to work simultaneously. It gave us the opportunity to record our voices teaching the topic and provide students with related tables and images. Also, we used the site to create an exercise to check the understanding at the end of the flipped lesson video. Here are the links to my group friends’ blogs: Ömer Arda Özdinçer - https://ardaozdincer.tumblr.com/ Orçun Özcan - https://orcunozcan.blogspot.com/ And here is our flipped classroom grammar teaching video 😊
