WELCOME BACK FOLKS!

Hello eveyone

    It’s me, İlayda, your favorite(!) blogger again. I took a break from my blog after successfully completing the Educational Technology course last semester. After this short break, I am taking the Material Design in ELT course this semester. This lesson is taught by my instructor who taught Educational Technology in the last semester, so I will continue to share my tasks for this semester on this blog.

    This time, we will approach our tasks from a teacher perspective, unlike the last semester. This is something that excites me so much as I get closer to my graduation day by day. I think doing the tasks from a teacher perspective will prepare me for what I will experience with my future students.

Welcome back, we have an exciting and educational period ahead, get ready!

LET'S FLIP THOSE CLASSROOMS!

  Hello everyone!      I'm here again after a while. But this time with a task that is time consuming and takes a lot of effort. We are working on flipped classroom in Material design in ELT course. As an example of this topic we prepared a video with my pair, Beyza . Our task was to prepare a video about a topic we chose from the 5th grade English coursebook. And we choose “Countries and Nationalities”.      This task was perhaps the most difficult task I had to do so far. We prepared the sheets that we'd used in the background from Canva . Since we've been using it for a long time, neither of us have had any difficulties using Canva. But I can't say the same for Animaker , which we used to adjust animations and add sound. Based on my own experience, I think the site should make some improvements. Another challenge we encountered is that my pair and I are in different places, so we recorded our voices on different tools. This caused our sound quali...

LET'S MAKE WEBQUEST!

  Hello everyone      I am here with my last task for the material design in ELT course. My task this time was to prepare a Webquest. What we had to do for this task was to choose a project from the sample coursebook given by our teacher and turn it into a technological project. And again, with my friend Beyza , we chose a project from the sample coursebook. The project we chose is to prepare a poster about protecting our nature.      In the task we designed on Canva , we first informed the students about the subject in the instruction section. Then, in the task and process section, we explained to the students what they need to do and the steps to do it. We directed students to several websites that provided information about getting to know and protecting our nature. Afterwards, we asked the students to write a 100-word paragraph as far as they learned from these sites, and we put a sample of the paragraph we wanted for the students to review. Af...

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 sect...
