Padlet Experience

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. Then we each wrote three questions in the What We Want to Know section. Finally, everyone wrote the What We Learned section by referring to the results they found by researching their own topic. 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 simultaneously, and you can follow what your colleagues are doing in real time.

21st Century Learning and English Teaching.

Learning in the 21st century differs from traditional learning. The teacher is at the center of traditional learning. The teacher is like an omniscient authority. He transfers what he knows to his students and students are responsible for memorizing this information. However, in the 21st century, the student is at the center of education. Innovative thinking, lifelong learning, and rapid access to information are key concepts in 21st century education. Here the teacher is like a guide. Instead of giving direct information to students, it tries to give them the above qualifications. It teaches a kind of learning. The students who learn to learn will easily acquire the qualifications necessary for them. We now live in a digital age and children start using technology from a very young age. Social media tools such as Youtube and Instagram are to them what radio and television are to the older generation. Through these tools, they are introduced to foreign languages at a very young age. ...

About Our Digital Storytelling Task

Hello everybody! Today, I will tell you about the digital story telling work that we did as the last task in the education technologies lesson. Our teacher gave us three options: Public Service Announcement, fictional story and How-To. I, Hasan Şendil and Erhan Anlar chose the PSA and created a video about abandoned animals. We used the canva program to create the video. Canva is a very useful and easy app. I used the same program for the poster preparation task. As for the task: First we created a text, then we prepared the video. Finally, three friends vocalise the video. In this process, we encountered a problem that limited us. The texts were moving fast in the video, so it would be difficult for him to voice over. We overcame this problem when we reduced the streaming speed of the video. I think it would be beneficial to give students a task such as preparing a digital story in the classroom. Because students can improve their writing, listening and pronunciation skill...

AI-integrated teaching material

Hello everyone. Today I will talk about the final project of the Current Issues course. As I mentioned in the title, this time I prepared a study about artificial intelligence. The material I prepared is a writing task consisting of three stages. Accordingly, students are asked to write a paragraph and have it checked by artificial intelligence and receive feedback from it. In this way, it is aimed for students to learn how to use artificial intelligence functionally. In this period when artificial intelligence applications enter every part of our lives, students will definitely use them. This cannot be prevented. However, it is up to us, educators, to teach our students how to use artificial intelligence beneficially. You can access the material here .
