AR/VR Integrated Teaching Materials

Hello everyone.

This time, I prepared AR/VR integrated material for the Current Issues course. Actually, this was a group work. However, since I couldn’t find anyone to work with, I prepared it on my own. I think this is better. Because when you work as a group, you don’t do everything because the work is divided. However, when you work alone, you have the chance to apply and learn everything.

In this study, I chose a foreign city and prepared a material about two landmarks, a museum and the famous food of that place. Students are asked to obtain information about the topics and answer questions by going to the links provided with QR codes in this material. I both enjoyed and learned a lot while preparing this material. First of all, it feels very good to produce something on your own. Secondly, learning how to prepare a design and having the opportunity to apply it to other areas is a very important gain.

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 .
