USING AUGMENTED REALITY TO CREATE MATERIAL BEYOND ORDINARY

Image
   datafloq    Hi guys,    I know I've been gone for two weeks but I'm back to announce my new task and a new experience. This week's task was creating a material using augmented reality and by that we mean students discover something feeling like it is real. It is kind of complicated but I will share the material me and my friends Zeynep and Adile have created. The task was choosing a city and 2 or 3 landmarks and a museum and a traditional food or festival and making students discover them by themselves using an app. We used ARize but there are lots of apps.    We chose Paris and its most known landmarks and museum. We thought it should be a city that everyone knows. Our target was high schools students.    It was a hard task to do because my friends and I are not even in the same city and doing video calls are not enough to do such a task. The apps don't always work properly and because we are lack of certain s...

FIRST TIME TRYING TO CREATE A MATERIAL

giphy Hello folks! I hope all of you are just fine. I am here to tell you what I've done for a task that I've been given. Last two lessons we talked about corpus and how to use it to create and design our teaching materials.  Corpus or corpora is a collection of data based on a specific word or phrase also texts that you are looking for. This is very helpful for teachers because you can even create your quizzes or exams or even basic lesson materials using corpus. The material that I created is a very simple one. Because this is my first time and I am not sure If it should have been more challenging. However my target is high school students and their curriculum isn't that challenging. My subject is the word 'simple'. Because you know it has both verb and noun functions and has two different verb meanings. So this is my worksheet  and I used  canva  to do it. Check it out and don't forget to write comment on it. See you on my next po...

I AM SOOO BACK!!!

giphy Hello fellas, I hope you are doing great. I know I said that I finished writing posts and disappointed you (hope so). Yet, this year we have a technology based course again given by the same teacher. So I will continue writing my blog. This course is called Material Design in ELT. In this course, we will be learning how to create and choose the right material that supports our teaching techniques. To do that properly and appropriate for 21st century, we should use technology and integrate technology in designing and preparing a material. I will keep blogging to share my experiences and the tasks that I will be given. I hope I can manage to do well this term for this course. Because I find it a little bit challenging. I will do my best and I will inform you about all of it. Stay home, stay safe and stay tuned.

HAPPY ENDING

                              giphy   For the last time, Hi folks!!!   This is the last post that I am going to share. Because it is the end of the term and Educational Technologies class. To start, I have learned so much about technology. Due to the fact that I am not a person who hasn't been really into technology, at first, I thought that I was going to fail the class. I was kind of feeling desperate. Because I knew most of my classmates were quite well in technology from the previous year. That made me think like that. Yet, throughout the term I saw that I could do many things with a simple tool and a simple device like my smartphone.   You may know if you read my blog post about the panel Padlet. It was a great tool that you can use for giving brief information. I was terrified because I thought It was a hard task. However, It was one of the easiest task that I was given. ...

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!

I PREPARED AN INFOGRAPHIC ABOUT MY FAVORITE WEB 2.0 TOOLS!

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!

WE CREATED A DIGITAL STORY !

   guides.libraries HI FOLKS !   This post is about a new digital form that I've learned. It's digital storytelling.  Digital storytelling is a short form of digital media production that allows everyday people to share aspects of their story. ( Wikipedia )   It's a great way to share your story with many people in just a few minutes. So, it's a perfect opportunity to teach some topics to little children. Because you can create your story in many ways including animation. That's why it can catch children's attention.                                            giphy                               So, our task was creating a fictional story. We chose this one in 3 options. The others were; Creating a Public Service Announcement, Creating a...
