About Me




Hi, visitor! I’m Dilara Katmer. I was born in Rize but I live in İstanbul/Turkey now. I’m a 19-year-old English Language Teaching student at Marmara University.

FLIPPED CLASSROOM AND GRAMMAR TEACHING VIDEO FOR YOUNG LEARNERS

Image
chartboost        Hello My Dear Followers,    Today I am going to talk about how we prepared a material related to our last topic Flipped Classroom. Flipped classroom is an approach which supports that students can do their own learning when you give them the material so that you can have more class time that you can use to do more activities supporting the topic. For example, you are an English teacher at high school and the topic of the week is gerund-infinitive. You can prepare a video explaining the subject at home. Then, you can send it to the students they can watch it at home before coming to the class. So, you can spend your class time to do activities and spend your time more effectively. This is good for the teachers because their hard work would be less. However, some students may not be able to access such a learning video. So, you have to check which students have which device.     Also, some students ...

giphy       HEY FOLKS!     This one of my last posts is about infographics. I suppose you are asking now what is an infographic. It's a great tool for informing your audience with very brief but sufficient information.It can be about any topic. So mine is about my favorite web 2.0 tools. I was asked to create an infographic about them. I chose Kahoot, Youtube and Wordclouds.com. Because these ones are really great and they helped me when I needed them. I mentioned their affordances and constraints. That means I informed my audience about some of their advantages and disadvantages.     I created my infographic by using  canva.com  and it's a perfect tool since it has more than infographic section. You can create many things such as magazine covers, logos and invitaitons. So check out my infographic. I hope you will like it and try to do it by yourself, too! See you around!

IF I WERE AN ART MAGAZINE COVER DESIGNER...

giphy  HEYY FOLKS!!  This time I made a magazine cover. Aaand it's about art! Actually, an art term kitsch. It means anti-aesthetic art. My task was creating a poster about a fictional magazine cover. The other task was creating a film poster based on a book I've read. However, I liked magazine cover more amusing and enjoyable.  I had to add the name of the magazine, a logo, 3-7 article titles from the magazine, a clipart or picture related to the content and the date of the issue.  I used  canva  again to create my magazine cover. Because it is a great tool. I can't believe that there are a lot of stuff in it. So here is my magazine cover. I hope you love it because I put a lot effort into it. See you guys!
