English Teaching

 This time we were asked to prepare a podcast in the educational technologies class. Our teacher offered us four different options. I chose 60 sec idea to improve the world among these options. Accordingly, I gave a sixty-second speech about improving the world and expressed my ideas on this subject. Frankly, before I started working, I thought that I would encounter difficulties such as finding a topic and recording a sound.

A web-based project assignment was given for the educational technologies course. We worked together with three people for this task: Me, Çağatay Sönmez and Tuna Tamimoğlu. What we had to do was create a padlet page and create a KWL chart there about a specific topic: What We Know, What We Want to Know and What We Learned. As a team, we chose the topic of migration. We each wrote three entries in the What We Know section and supported them with images. Each of us chose different colors for his column so that these columns do not mix with each other.

Thus, we have completed our small research project. Above all, working as a team was both fun and educational. Padlet offers a very functional environment for collaborative writing. There is a common page and everyone can add and delete things there
