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!

DIFFERENT WAY OF GROUP WORK : PADLET!

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, ...

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 Technolog...

It is an Info - Graphic!

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!  ; )
