'TILL NEXT TIME, GOODBYE

-

 


    Before I take this course my view about technology integration in English language teaching was not exactly the same as my current view. Of course I was aware of the fact that technology is an important part of our lives and integrating it in many areas can be beneficial and helpful. but to be honest, I didn't think technology can be as productive as it is fun for educational purposes. Maybe it's because I haven't witnessed such things before. I had not done the assignment examples I did for this course before. Thanks to this course, I realized that there are many educational, efficient and entertaining ways of teaching through technology. 

    I did many tasks for this course this semester. Some of them were easy for me and some were relatively more difficult. When I think about it, I guess the one I liked the most was to prepare a poster. I really enjoyed preparing my music-themed magazine cover. The one I liked the least might be preparing a public service announcement. It was sure was a good and instructive project, but the preparation phase was a bit difficult for me. 

    But regardless, I am grateful for what I learned through this course this semester. I learned many technology-based educational methods that I can use in my English language teaching classes in the future. I can't wait to use these methods that I learned with my students one day. 

Maybe see you again if I continue blogging. Until that time stay safe and keep learning.

I WROTE A BOOK REVIEW!!

     Hello everyone!      This week our homework for Education  Technology  course   was to write and publish an article about the books we recommended on the wiki page that our teacher opened for us. The book I chose for this assignment was 'Of Mice and Men’. For the book review, I wrote the plot summary without spoilers and some fun facts about the book.      The writing part was easy, but I had a little difficulty with pictures, tables and alignment. But after some time I spent trying to figure out what I had to do in front of the computer, I think I got over the whole thing quite well.      It was fun to write about a book I loved. If you have not read the book I mentioned, you can go to the book review I wrote from the link I embed below. Hope you'll like it. See you next time!!     Click  here  to read my book review.

MY FIRST PODCAST

  Hello!!  This week my assignment for Educational Technology course was publishing a podcast. Even though I enjoy listening to podcasts, I never thought of publishing a podcast myself. I recorded a podcast episode through this lecture, albeit in amatory.       I had a hard time at first, as I had not tried streaming podcasts before. But as I worked on it and tried new methods, I also experienced the fun part. I tried to do my best within the time given to me.      I wanted the question I was going to ask for the podcast to be especially about English education. And for this task, I asked ten different people the same question: What do you think is the biggest deficiency in English education in your country?       Thank you to everyone who answered my question for creating this podcast. And I hope you like it too. If you are a good podcast listener, you can write your podcast suggestions in the comments section. See you next time!

LET'S CREATE DIGITAL BOARDS!

Hello everyone!!      This week for my Educational Technologies course I tried Padlet . Padlet is a digital board application. We observed that the application is very useful with my friends with whom I did the homework.  It was easy to write text, add images and links to the boards. Especially, the feature of customizing your boards for yourself and making them remarkable  helped us a lot.       Together with my group mates, we created our digital board about unemployment. First we wrote   to our existing information about unemployment, then we stated the questions we were curious about the subject and the items we wanted to know. And in line with these questions, we did research on unemployment.      In line with my experiences with the padlet application, I think it is effective and fun for students to share their ideas. In addition, ease of use can also be seen as an incentive for them. Padlet is definitely an application that I can use with my students in the future. If you want
