AUGMENTED REALITY - DISCOVERING ALBERTA!

 Hi guys!

 It's me again. I hope you guys all well and healthy. Today I am going to talk about "Augmented Reality Integrated Teaching Material. Augmented Reality is a tool which includes technology to a large extent. With this tool, we can visualize  picture, 3D models and animations in a 3D environment. As teachers, we can use augmented reality videos or picture not only to teach English, but also create an environment that is entertaining for our students.




 In education, Augmented Reality (AR) is a material that is benefited by the educators all around the world. By means of AR, teachers can make lessons more interactive and students can understan the topics easily. This technology is not only useful for teachers, but also for students. AR projects help students to enhance their critical thinking skills as well. Collaboration, creating and problem-solving type of skills can be improved through this material. On the other hand, traditional learning strategies can be reduced with this technology usage.

 AR projects give our students the opportunity to improve themselves in various areas. These areas can be listed as, creating contents, scenarious and working with numbers etc.

 



 This week, me and my pair Melisa have created our Augmented Reality Integrated Teaching Material. Our students are high school English prep class students. Our task is about Alberta, Canada. We have wanted our students to explore this impressive country. Thus, we have prepared some handouts for our students to discover some of the landmarks of the country and also paleontology museum.

                                   Here are the handouts we have prepared for our students:
 









 To be honest, there were several problems during this AR creation process. We have challenged while using apps about AR. However, we wanted to do our best anyway. AR apps are not properly working. I think there should be some regulations about it. Me and Melissa have added QR codes of 360 degree photos of landmarks. As our students can discover the country in detail, we prepared our handouts in line with these instructions. All of the work are equally separeted. We enjoyed while preparing these AR Materials.

 For making QR Codes, we have used a beneficial cite which works easily. Click HERE to find this cite. Via this QR codes, our students will be able to learn easily.

 On the other hand, for final project, we have prepared a postcard template. Students will use all of the informantions they have learnt so far.Our students will write a postcard to their imaginary friend. The context of the postcard will be our students' exploration about Alberta, Canada. They will imagine that they have explored all around the city and write about the things to their friends.

 


 In conclusion, I recommend all of you guys to use Augmented Reality Materials. As teachers, it will be very useful and fun to teach topics. Also please click HERE to visit my partner's blogpost. I hope you enjoyed and benefited from our AR Materials. See you soon!

Perfect Way for Creativity, Podcast!

  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

TELL ME YOUR STORY!

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

This is not a Goodbye...

Hi everyone! Today I’m  gonna talk about the whole semester as a whole. Firstly,  this course really helped me to integrate in technology. We are in the 21st century and I think students from all around the world should use technology for the purpose of their educations. On the other hand, writing a blog used to be unusual thing for me. But thanks to this course, I started blogging and this was really beneficial and fun experience. With the activities and educational tools we have learnt in the class, we can be technological teachers in the future! I really liked to do different types of experiences during the term. We did podcasts, video clips etc..To be honest, maybe the only thing that I want to change about this class may be the timing. This course requires really a lot of time. Let’s talk about the thing I have loved most! In my opinion , writing a blog and having a blog on my own is really different and exciting thing for me. Every ‘’Educational Technologies’’ stu
