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. Sources:  getapp.com ...

HELLO DEAR FOLLOWERS1 Today I'm here to present you another thing that I made. I made a movie poster! Yay! Here it is. Seems cool right? For my Educational Technologies course (you know) I used some specific tools to create podcast, film review website, padlet, digital story etc. What I create today is a movie poster. This poster is the illustration of the Turkish book 'Oğullar ve Rencide Ruhlar' written by Alper CANIGÜZ. I used Canva  while prepearing this poster. Canva is a designing web tool in which you can create blog graphic, album cover, instagram post, invitation and many things. Besides it is free. There are many web tools for designing but I think, Canva is the best among them.  How about trying it to design a movie poster better than mine? C'mon! .ZeyUs.

HELLO DEAR FOLLOWERS! Today we are going to talk about Digital Storytelling. Let's start. Digital Storytelling means creating a digital story by using tools such as video, audio, pictures and text. There are some key elements if you are making digital stories; Point of view. What is the main point of the story? A dramatic question. A key question that keeps the viewer's attention. Your gifted voice. (some of us are unlucky about it ;) ) Personalizing the story to help the audience understand the context. Impact of the soundtrack.  Pacing. The rhythm of the story. We, in our Educational Technologies course, created our own digital story as a project with my classmates  Gizem YILDIRIM and Hazal ULUDAĞ . We use Pixton Storyboard Maker website for this project.We made editing, voice recording together and found proper sound effects. It was a bit challenging but highly enjoyable :) We named our digital story as ' DAY DREAM '. It is a story of a d...

HELLO DEAR FOLLOWERS!  Here I am with my Educational Technology course homework: Padlet. (Yay!) Padlet is a website in which you can create online bulletin board and use it to share some information about any topic. You can simply write the informations or you can add links, images, videos and files to make your board more professional. For this Padlet homework we came together with my friends; Ayşe Ceren ÖZTÜRK, Hande ÖZTÜRK and Şebnem SÖNMEZ . We chose our topic (Violence Against Women In Turkey) and started working. Finally we created the padlet. You can find our board below. Don't forget to comment on it. It seems that's all for now :) Thanks for reading. .ZeyUs.

HELLO MY DEAR FOLLOWERS Today I am  going to talk about film reviewing. In Educational Technologies class our teacher , Gökçe KURT , wanted us to review a film via wikipage and with a partner. We learned what is wiki and how to prepare a wiki page on the Internet. So I chose Cansu (TURHAN)  (actually she chose me) giggling and we chose a film. The film is Fight Club.  Then we started. Here is the wikipage link.                                                       Blog link of my partner you can click here . It's a really remarkable blog , you should follow it.                                                        .ZeyUs.

Podcast is a digital audio file made available on the Internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device,typically available as a series* in brief.One can listen podcast or create one to share his/her ideas.
