Modernizing Learning

 It is time to say goodbye. I am all caught up with my course projects so I won't be posting any of them anymore. However, maybe I will keep posting about different subjects :) I'd like to tell you a little bit about my course and my thoughts about it.  I think it helped me in a very big scale, in so many aspects of my life. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be this much beneficial in so many ways. I even referred to some of my projects in an interview and my interviewer was very pleased to hear those examples from me. I did more than just material designing, I learned so many different kinds of tools and methods that I can use. Also, feedback sessions that we did during the term were really helpful in terms of seeing what is right and what is wrong or what are some other options I can use.  I would recommend making this lesson into a 2 part course because I think there are still so many other things we can learn and benefit from. So, extending the course time would defin

 Hello everyone ! I'm sorry to inform you that I will be writing about my latest project for the last time. You can see the link to our project below. Our last task was about creating a webquest regarding a project that our students are required to do.We chose the subject "how to save our nature" and asked our students to create a digital poster. I think trying to think about how to integrate technology into the coursebook we are supposed to use is a great way to keep up with the 21st century learning styles.  I enjoyed the main purpose of the project as it is important to guide students as much as possible in terms of their process of preparing a project but the sites that are out there for us to create webquests are so outdated. We had a hard time working simultaneously and also, they were really slow. I hope they will get better in the near future. Here is the link to our WEBQUEST :) Here are the links to my group friends' blogs : Ömer Arda Özdinçer Orçun Özcan

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
