Technologic Learner!

Hi everyone! It’s me again. Today we are going to talk about ‘’Infographics’’. An  infographic (information graphic) is a representation of information in a graphic format designed to make the data easily understandable at a glance. This week we made our ‘’infographic’’. In my opinion, infographics are beneficial for us as it is a way to combine informations. It helped me to talk about web tools I have used so far. In my infografic, I talked about 3 web tools I have used recently – actually this year- . These are, Padlet , Wiki and RSS. I create my infografic with Piktochart . To be honest, it was quite hard to change all the designs but enjoyable. If you are interested in designing something, I think you love this tool and you can use it if you want to create an infographic. Here’s my Infographic. I hope you like it! If you have any comment about these web tools, let me know!  ; )

Hi everyone! It’s Elif again. Today I am here to talk about creating a movie poster. This week our duty was to create a movie poster based on a book we have read. At first, I have to tell you that , it sounds a little bit terrifying to create a poster. In my experience,   I was frightened when I saw the guidelines. However, when it came to practice, I started to feel excited. I think, It helped met o brainstorm about the book I read a long time ago. On the other hand, It gave me the opportunity to remember that book again. Let’s talk about the poster I created : ) I chose ‘’Clockwork Angel’’ by Cassandra Clare. It is a fantastic book. I chose this book because I remember how much I enjoyed while I was reading it. It’s movie version should be done.  Maybe I am not the only one  who wants this. I used ‘’ postermywall’ ’ to create my poster. I used this tool with ease. When creating my poster, it gave me opportunities to do my best. I highly recommend you to use it if you

Hi everyone! It’s me again. This week we are going to talk about a new term. It is called ‘’Digital Story Telling’’. Digital Story Telling is a creative way that gets students involved in language learning. By means of this tool, students can enhance their creativity and also they can use the language actively.On the other hand, thanks to this activity, students can work collaboratively. There are several methods to do ‘’Digital Story Telling’’. One is ‘’PSA’’. PSAs are short, “non-commercial” announcements prepared to provide information to the public . Me and my friend Zeynep used PSA to tell our story. But there are many choices you can choose to tell your story. For example, you can create your own fictional story! It may be really fun to do that. Let’s talk about our story! We wanted to focus on really big issue that occurs in Turkey. We created a PSA. It is about animal violence in Turkey. As lots of people don’t care much about animals in

Hi everyone again! Today I will talk Padlet.Padlet is a way of creating information source for anyone in the Internet. By means of Padlet you can create your own wall and write down on the wall the information you already have , what you want to know and after you research the topic, you can write what you have learned. This week we created our own Padlet. My groupmates and I made a group work. We talked about ‘Animal Violence’. It is a common problem of our world. The project we have made is a way of enjoyable working. I personally liked to work with my friends about a common problem of our world. What is animal violence? Act of violence against animals are considered as animal cruelty.   Unfortunately animal cruelty is in every part of our life. There are lots of experiments which are tested on animals. Per yer,   approximately 100 million animal die from testing. What are some examples of animal cruelty? Examples include animal abuse, dog and r

 Hi everyone! Today our discussion topic is ''Wiki''. Wiki is source of information. By means of  ''Wiki'' we can work collaboratively. It is really beneficial for language classroom. Students can practice their English with this invention.         This week, we created our classroom ''Wiki''.  It is a film review. I did this wiki with my friend Melisa.     We decided to review the movie called ''Limitless''.  I highly recommend you to read our review and if you will interested in, you should watch the movie. The main character Eddie is played by Bradley Cooper. No more spoiler you should read our review. You can inform us if you watch it. Hope you enjoy that!    Click here to read our film review! 

  Hi everyone! Today we will talk about  ‘’Podcasting’’. Podcasting can be used in various areas.But we will focus on ‘’education-based podcasting’’. We can use podcasts in our class.It can enhance students’ creativity,speaking skills and pronounciations. As an university student I made my own podcast. To be honest, It was really hard for me to do so. Because talking on my own in a really silent atmosphere made me feel weird. But when I began to talk about the topic, It began to go easy.  I think using podcast in the class is quite beneficial. Students can share their ideas about everything in a creative way. They can get used to using technology as well. If I will be a teacher in the future, I am going to use podcast surely. Because, technology involves education more day by day. As a teacher candidate, we all need to be aware of technological developments. Furthermore, ‘’Podcast’’ is an important part of education.On the other hand,I wonder what you think about podcasting

Hi everyone! Here I am again. This week we are going to talk about RSS Free Reader. Firstly, I want to give brief information about the program. RSS(Really Simple Syndication) actually helps us to follow the blogs we are interested in.On the other hand, we can be updated with the new blog posts. So, it is really helpful. Let’s talk about how it has effected me so far. To be honest, without a free reader program, probably I wouldn’t look over each blog that I am interested in. Thanks to this program I can easily keep up with the newest blog posts. They share posts almost daily. I like this side of RSS. I think not only bloggers but also every blog reader should use this program. I highly recommend to use it to all the students and also all the people who are interested in it. I hope you enjoyed the information that I have given you. Here’s the screenshot of my Free Reader :  Hope you enjoy this post! See you in the next post! : )

As you all know we are in a technological age and students and teachers should   keep up with the new innovations.In 21st century teaching techniques are so varied and sophisticated that not only students but also teachers can improve their learning styles by benefitting from that.         There are lots of key subjects to talk about.

Critical thinking provides us to think creatively and brainstorm.By this technique,   one can evaluate the other people’s point of views. Secondly,   we need to have ‘’Information, Media, and Technology Skills’’. As we are in a technological age, we need to catch up with the innovations. We should be analyzing media without difficulty.
