DIGITAL STORYTELLING

Image
Hey everyone! Today's task is so fun but it can be a little challenging. Let me explain the task beforehand. As you can see from title our task is Dijital Storytelling. Me and my pair Berat created our own dijital story. Firstly, we decided on the topic wheter it will be a drama, comedi etc. And then we outlined the story with brainstorming. He made the scenes and we prepared the text together. And then I edited the scenes and narrated them. Scenes were prepared on StoryboardThat website which was easy to use. It can sound confusing but actually it is not. I think creating your own story was so fun and I realized I can handle it! StoryboardThat have so many options like character, appearance, place... But of course there isn't so many options that includes very detailed scenes. We just tried to limit the scenes details. Giving this task can be really benefical for students' imagination. But firstly, you have to give detailed background information about the animation websit...

THE END

Hello there! As you can see from the title we're on the edge of the end... But of course every end is a new beginning. We learnt so much together and we will use the tools we've learnt in our future classes that's the whole point actually. Process could be sometimes tough, sometimes easy and usually fun to do I think. Practicing after learning was really benefical for my learning process. And I also started to think that give students tools that they can use by themselves or cooperate with friends is the best way to learn a second language. I feel like I developed my team work skills and also learnt so many websites that I can use apart from class activites. To be honest before this lesson I never thought there are that much tools that we can use in our future classes so technology integration in English language teaching surprised me. I was thinking more traditional ways for teaching but our world is changing so we as future teachers have to keep up with the new world'...

INFOGRAPHIC

Hello there again! Today I am going to mention you about infographic. It is an information set but looks like graphic. Sounds interesting right? So, I made an infographic on Canva. I chose Canva because it allows me to design infographic in a very easy way. My infographic is about ''How to be succesful in online education as a university student''. My consideration about creating an infographic is benefical for language learners. Young learners may not be satisfied with this task as it is based on raw information but for high school and university students can find it benefical.

Hello all! Today i am going to share my magazin cover which i created on ''postermywall'' website. It was really fun to do and also made my creation expanded. The website is easy to use. You can write the titles whatever you want and locate them wherever you want. First you should decide what cover you want to design and then find an image about it. I chose magazin cover because I'm interested in fashion and beauty so I wrote the titles according to this. In future I can give this task to my own students. Especially young learners can have fun while doing it because designing something helps to be more creative.

PADLET AIR POLLUTION

Image
Hey everyone! Today i'm going to tell you about Padlet. Me and my friends chose a topic and made a wall for it on Padlet. Our topic is ''Air Pollution''. First I wrote ''what I know'' about air pollution. In this level I did not have to research but just the pictures I found on Pinterest. When it came to researching, I found the informations needed for my questions easily. There are so many researchs and articles about this topic. I think Padlet is a benefical tool for class activities and easy to use. I put links for researching part and some images so it was not a problem to figure it out. Using Padlet as a classroom tool can help students to develop their exploratory skills. New generations can be sometimes lazy to survey, as sometimes I am. But with Padlet it is achievable and fun therefore students can develop their learning skills and make it in a more pleasurable way. Here are my friends' blogs links: https://keepthevibesupwithmeri.blogsp...

WIKI FILM REVIEW

Image
Hey guys. Today I am going to write about wiki and what I did there. As you see this is a film review. I chose the Memories of a Geisha because when I first watched it, I was really impressed by the scenes, clothings and the topic. If you haven't watched it there is link on wiki. But firstly I think you should read my wiki. It was fun to do! Write about something you love is exciting especially when it comes to films. It wasn't that easy to write beacause gather all the informations about the film was a bit confusing. It's a long film so there are so many details that I couldn't write. But of course I just mentioned the topic. In order to understand the whole idea everyone must watch it. It was fun to do and also a good option to write something English so I would probably give this task to my own students. They can create more sentences when the task is more interesting for them.

PODCAST

Me and my friend Burak conducted an interview. We talked to 10 people and asked them ‘’ Where do you see yourself in 5 years later?’’. Their responses showed that most of the students want to be rich and famous. A few of them said that anywhere they just be happy. This must demonstrate us ,as a future English teacher, students do not care what job they do. Also some of them want to leave the country for good. While we were completing the task we had some difficulty surely. At first, we could not decide what should we ask to people. There were so many ideas in our minds and we could not get them together easily. But when we finally found the question things became easier. There were so many people around us and we just chose ten of them. After we got their permission to record their voice we fulfilled our task substantially. To be honest I got stressed at first but with Burak’s backing we started to have fun. When I become a teacher I will probably give this kind of task to my students....
