Hello my dear followers! I am here presenting you something that I've never tried before. Augmented Reality Yaaaay! This time our task is creating Augmented Reality task. For this mission, we used UniteAR (after trying hundreds of apps, and searching for hundreds of ways)   UnıteAR is an application which helps you create your own Augmented Reality image. The process is very simple, upload an image, and you can add videos, 360 panorama image, audio or even link. However, there is a free trial days and then you have to pay for it. ( Sad ) Yes, I worked with my classmates, my dear friends Ayşe TOY and Hazal ULUDAĞ in this task. We created a task for students to explore Rome, Italy. Of all the beautfiful places, landmarks and foods, we chose 1 place; Capitoline Museums, 4 landmarks; St. Peter's Basilica, Colosseum, Trevi fountain, Pantheon, and 2 foods; Suppli Al Telefono, and Pizza. ( the last one is hard to guess :)) We are deeply sorry for not choosing all of them :(  Down bel

Hello my dear followers, The second flipped video that you have been waiting impatiently is here now. Let me present you my second filpped classroom approach project; Flipped Grammar Teaching Video. (yaaaaay!) As in our previous flipped video, we prepared this video with th help of Animaker . The process is same here again, choose a unit from the coursebook, choose a grammar topic to teach aaand, start teaching it :D With my friends Rabia TUĞLU and Beyza USLU  We share the labor, and each of us did our part; added sentences, examples, images, voices, music. This time it was easier because we get used to using animaker, and thankfully it took less time. You can see our video right below. We were supposed to prepare a quiz for this video and guess which tools this lazy group used again? Wordwall , not surprised! Hey come check this classy quiz. Here, click this. This was my favourite task in this lesson actually. Yes, it did take much more time and effort than we imagined but with team

 Hello my dear followers. Today I come up with another topic for you, yes, flipped classroom. In my Material Design course, we work on different tools with my friends as you know, and here I am to share my experience with you. Flipped classroom in brief, is an approach which carry class lecturing to home, thus leaves enough space to class work. We learned and experienced this useful approach by preparing our own flipped vocabulary teaching classroom. Let me present you my teammates, Beyza USLU  aaaand Rabia TUĞLU . We started with choosing a grade, and topic to choose. (Easiest part, I know :) ) Then we chose a website to create our flipped video, and special thanks to ' Animaker ' for that. It is such useful, detailed, and fun tool to create any video. C'mon, go give it a try, you will love it. (End of the product placement *.*)  After editing pictures and audios (believe me when I say this, the hardest part of the task. First, there are lots of audio we recorded and putt

 Hello my dear folowers. I thought I made you wait too much, and you probably miss me so I decided to come back for you. Real education and technology lovers, yes this is you :) Joking. I mean the missing part, though. :( This term I will be preparing things under the name of my new lesson in Marmara University, Material design (*gliter*). Now that I'm back let's talk about something new today, at least for me :) Task Based Corpus Material. What is it? Well, corpus, as you know, is the huge collection of words that forms a language, and it provides the data for language learners. In corpus based material design the aim is to help students raise their language awareness by practising data-driven learning. You can find many webtools for this purpose, some of them are, Lextutor , Skell , English Corpora  or what I choose for my material Wordhippo .   Look how cute it is. I prepared it with my dear friend Bilge YENGEL .  We did our best to create this material using Canva , and tri

HELLO DEAR FOLLOWERS I am sorry to say that this is my last post. :( We did many things through the term. In my Educational Technologies course my teacher Gökçe KURT TİFTİK taught us many things and helped us a lot. ( Thanks dear teacher :) ) I learned what is technology, what is learning and how to combine these two with each other. I learned how to use web tools such as Canva, Ingographic, Wikipage and many for educational purpose. (Most of them arouse my curiosity by the way.) You were here when I was going through this process. You are the biggest witnesses.  I did my best I think. I tried to learn and enjoy while practising what I learned. Though it might be hard sometimes I still enjoyed this term. Also I believe in this century technology will be in favor of us, we, future teachers. I know that I will be eager to use technology in my classes because I saw its advantages. Thank you all. Hope to see you in my future educational blogs. .ZeyUs.

HELLO DEAR FOLLOWERS! Today I am here with another task: Infographic :) I prepared an infographic to show you my three favourite 2.0 webtools. Let's start with Canva. Canva is an online tool that allows users to choose from hundreds of professionally designed layouts or create their own designs from scratch, for use in presentations, posters, infographics, social media, business cards, and much more. Edmodo is an    educational learning network in which teachers can  create and manage an online classroom community and  students can connect and work with their classmates or teachers anywhere and anytime. Kahoot  is a game-based learning platform that makes it easy to create, share and play learning games or trivia quizzes in minutes. In my infographic, I give some brief information about these three web 2.0 tools. You can see their affordances and constraints below. Hope you like my infographic.  .ZeyUs.
