DIGITAL STORYTELLING

     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.In this way, they can enjoy using the language while they are producing their own product.Also, they can develop their awareness about the issues going on around them by doing such work if they choose to create a PSA.

    I would like to say thank you to my group friends Ömer Arda Özdinçer and Süleyman Sırrı Özdemirçelik and here are the links to their blogs if you want to check !

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 😊
