The Journey of Teacher Candidate

Hi everyone, this post going to be my last post for this lesson. I didn't realize how quickly time passed and I felt like my first post was like one week ago. Throughout the semester, I enjoyed learning something new every week but it was a little bit exhausting to follow. This lesson was inspiring for our future classroom management style. We are living in the 21 st century and integrating digital learning tools into our classes is very important. Because, in today’s world, students get distracted and bored very easily. For this reason, we need to make our lessons fun, interesting and interactive. So, I am sure that I am going to use digital learning tools in my future lessons. My favourite task was creating AI-Integrated Teaching Material. Because the image-creating part was so entertaining and I used my imagination a lot.

Hi everyone, today I am going to write about my last assignment in the Current Issues in ELT. During this lesson, we worked with different digital teaching tools and all of them were fun to learn.

These places have great history and gorgeous views. After that, we found appropriate videos and 360 views and converted their links into QR codes. While converting we had a little struggle but we found a better site to create a QR code.  Also, we were required to add a museum. We chose “ Museo Napoleónico” because it has precious artworks in it. We found a 360 tour for the museum at this site and added it to our worksheet. Finally, we created an activity that included an informational video about pizza.  The process was fun because we used AI to create the images we wanted. Th...
