Technology and Learning Language

Hi everyone, this post will be the final one in terms of Teaching with Technology Course. In this post you can find my reflections about the philosophy statement I wrote at the begining of the semester and reflections about our course what I liked or didn't like. I will also mention about the  development of my technological skills. However, after that course probably I will continue to write on my blog about whatever comes to my mind I hope you follow. 1-) Reflections on the First Philosophy Statement I Wrote In the first statement I mentioned about the integration of technology into education. I wrote about pros and cons according to me.  Actually I have same ideas but there is one thing which has changed. The matter of difficulty. In this lesson I realized that actually it is not a very hard thing to integrate technology to education. We can all use it. I was a bit  biased but I have understood. As a teacher, we and our students can benefit  from...

 Hi everyone, in this post I will inform you about RSS feed, the RSS program I have been using and my favourite blog. It is a standardized system for the distribution of content from an online publisher to Internet users. Individually I am using FlowReader.com and I can say that it is very useful.

Hi everyone, in this post I will write about infographic and my infographic work.Firstly I want to define an infographic. What is an infographic?  We can define it as a visual representation of information or data, e.g. as a chart or diagram.And now I want to talk about my infographic work. For this task I worked individually and I utilized from Piktochart.This site was very useful to create an infographic.Because there were lots of design options and I could arrange the text in a way that I prefered. For this task I found 4 Web 2.00 tools and introduced them by giving their affordances, constraints and reasons to use them. They were Edmodo, Animoto, Engrade and Grammarly. I had difficulty in writing constraints because for their main purposes they were really ideal. And I will embed my infographic work to my post I  hope you like it.

Hi everyone, this post will be about my movie ,İstanbul Hatırası, poster. And now  I will give some information about process. Firstly I found an online poster maker site. There are lots of them on the internet. I decided for My Poster Wall. This site is very useful to create a poster. You can upload images, arrange your background or texts and etc. For me it was an entertaining task and I would give such a task for my future students because I believe that such tasks develop our creativity which is an important skill for both students and teachers.

Hi everyone, in this post I will share my experience about digital storytelling.For this task I worked with Kadir Enis Kahraman . It was a pair work. Now I will explain how we made our project. To start the task we firstly wrote our text. As a second step we drew pictures related to our story. Third step was narration of the story. And lastly we found a digital storytelling tool and made our story. We had difficulty in finding a tool but it was a funny task anyway,  especially while making out a story. And lastly  I am planning to use such kind of tasks in  my coming teacher years. Because such kind of tasks develop our creativity and collaboration skills. If you want you can take a look to our project.
