Playing With The Sounds!

 Hi everyone, welcome to my blog. 

Today I will write about the podcast assignment that we made. I made it with my classmate Betül.

First of all, we choose our words and wrote our short story. We choose to write a cute story about a girl’s 5th birthday. This was the easy part for me I guess. Then, we started to record our voices. I think this part was easier for Betül because she made it quickly. When I tried record my voice, I felt like I forgot how to talk in English. My part was pretty short actually but I tried so much to make it perfect. Finally, I finished my records and sent them to Betül. 

This story has to be ‘sound-rich story’ so that we added background musics and sound effects to our story. This part was kind of challenging but I think the result was worth it. When the podcast was completed, we uploaded to Vocaroo. You can listen the story right here. 

I recorded a podcast for the first time but I think it wasn’t last one. It was a entertaining assingment for me and I recommend it everyone:) 


Stay tuned!

Learning How to Use Padlet!

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today I will write about our assignment in Educational Technologies class. Our latest assignment is using Padlet and creating a KWL chart there. Also this is a team work and I worked with Yonca , Yaren ve Betül . Before making the assignment, as a team we thought that working side by side is more effective. So, we met at Yonca’s home and we made it by brainstorming. First of all, we searched how to open a Padlet and how to write on it. After finding the answers, we tried to use it by sharing some posts. Then, we customized it according to our taste. In this assignment we have limited topics and we should choose one of them, so we can decide our Padlet page name. We chose ‘Climate Change’ as a topic because we all know something about this topic and we wanted to learn more.   We made our Padlet name ‘ Climate Change: Is This the Beginning of an Apocalypse? ’   After these, we wrote 2 things we know, 3 things we want to know and 3 things we l...

Creating a Digital Poster!

  Hi everyone, today I am going to write about the poster that we are assigned to make. Unlike the other tasks, this one single person task.  In this assignment, we have 2 options. One of them is creating a movie poster about the book that we read. The other one is creating a magazine cover. At first I thought of creating a movie poster and choosing my book. But then I realized that these books already have real movies, so I changed my mind and started to create a magazine cover. To create a poster, I searched for a couple of programs to edit but then I decided to use Canva . Canva also has an application for telephone and I used that because it was easier for me. Firstly, I checked the present magazine cover template for ideas and I chose one to edit it according to me. I couldn’t decide whether to create a cooking magazine cover or a music magazine cover. I tried both of them but the music one looked more professional for me. I used a photo of my favorite rap artist for the ...

Flipped Classroom!

Hi everyone! Today I am going to write about how to create a flipped classroom video. In our lesson Current Issues in ELT, we are required to create a flipped classroom video in pairs. Flipped classroom video aims to teach the lesson outside the classroom and create more time for in-class activities. In this approach, students will learn the topic from the video that the teacher prepared and when the students come to the classroom, they will be ready to do activities and practice. This approach has some advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are, by using flipped classroom videos there will be more time to practice in the classroom and learning progress will be more fun for the students. Possible disadvantages could be a lack of digital devices in students’ homes or technical problems like internet connections. However, I think that every teacher should use the flipped classroom approach more often. Creating the flipped classroom video was entertaining for me. With Betül , we fir...
