Is It A Goodbye? Maybe, Maybe Not

Hello to my dear fellows, As you can see from the title of my post, this may be my last post. Or not. I don't know. Maybe, it is just a break.  As you all know I write in this blog because it is a requirement of the Material Design course I take this year. I am supposed to tell you about the tools we have learned to create materials and what I have gone through while using them.  When I first heard this from our teacher Dr Gökçe Kurt Tiftik, it seemed like it would be tiring. But it was not like that at all. Writing here, talking with you, introducing all those tools with my own words... All of them was a great way to learn using those tools. I must say it also develops my English quite a lot. You know my first language is Turkish. ALSO, another plus point is that I feel like an up-to-date person who uses technology while keeping this blog. So we use technology while learning how to use technology to create materials. Isn't it amazing? Sometimes graduating and being a teacher s

A Journey for Students: WebQuest

Hello to my dear fellows.  Here I am with the same introduction of mine. I realize that I always lead in my posts with "here I am". Hehe. But I cannot help it. Every time I come here to write you a post, I come with a new way of teaching. And this time it is called "WebQuest".  Click here to see this picture To put it simply, WebQuest is a quest in Web for students to set off. Of course with the lead of the teacher. Since the teacher is only a helper in this journey, students develop their 21st-century skills which include their critical thinking skills. Because the outcome of this quest is only the work of students which they have created alone by using the websites they are given. You, as teachers, give the links of websites and they create. That's all. And, of course, together with my friends Rabia Tuğlu and Bilge Yengel , we have created a WebQuest! In our WebQuest, we have wanted our students to create a movie poster and write a movie review. We have given

Hello to my dear fellows, Here I am again with a real mind-blowing way of teaching. It is AR. Yes. Augmented Reality. We are going to use AR to teach English. And I am going to tell you about an assignment in which we have used this technology. I have done this assignment with my friends, Rabia Tuğlu and Bilge Yengel . First let me introduce AR to those who have never heard of it. Do you remember the game PokemonGo which everyone played in 2016? What makes those creatures in the game look real is AR technology. Here is how Wikipedia defines it: "Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory." I have said that we are going to use AR to teach English, right? Well, actually, we couldn't. Because we could not find a tool to cre
