Modernizing Learning

     Hello everyone !      This is my final post for my course. I would like to share my thoughts and experiences with you :)      Before I took this course, I was already in the opinion that technology has a lot to offer to English language teaching. I thought that since it is a widely used language, internet can provide a range of benefical information and exercises to the learners. I remain feeling the same way about these helps that the internet provides. However, after taking this course, I come to realize that there are so many different options that technology has to offer other than just the common information that takes place in the internet. For example, students of the English classes can use their creativity through a range of fun and informative tools. So, in this sense, this course contributed a lot to my technology integration in ELT.      When I have a look at all the tasks I have completed, I think I enjoyed designing a magazine cover the most.

       Hello everyone !      I   am going to talk about my latest project which is creating a digital storytelling and we chose to create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) because we think that it is always good to let people know and inform them about the issues this country goes through.So, we chose earthquake in Turkey for our topic since it is a pretty big issue in our country.You can see our product below.      We used Movavi Video Suite 18 as a tool to edit our project.It was quite helpful for us in terms of allowing us to enrich our product by adding photos and audio.These features are both helpful and enjoyable since when you are producing something, you want to get creative and reflect your imagination to your product and you have fun while doing so.This tool provided everything we were looking for.      I think foreign language learners can benefit from a digital storytelling project a lot.Because, it would help them to relate the target language to their creativity.I

 Hello everyone !      I am going to write about the infographic design that I created for my lesson project.You can see my design below.      My task was to design an infographic about the online higher education in Turkey during the pandemic.I used Canva to create an infographic.It was pretty easy and enjoyable to create such a product.It provides a range of themes and designs and you can add photos from your own computer to support and visualize your design.      I think it is a very useful task for language learners because it can encourage students to use the language they are learning and it does not have to include higher levels of proficiency in the target language.They can practise their existing knowledge of the language easily.Also, students would have fun creating a design on their own as I did. onlıne hıgher educatıon ın turkey - Dilara Sezgin
