GUIDE YOUR STUDENTS WITH WEBQUEST!

Hi guys!

It's me again. Hope you guys well and healthy. In this post I am going to talk about new term which is "WebQuest". WebQuests are prepared in order students to be encouraged to use information directly in place of collecting it. This tool is technology-based and it can enhance learners' critical thinking skills. On the other hand, it is a classroom-based material. Thanks to WebQuests, collaborative activities and cooperative learning can be supplied.

Let's talk about the structure of a WebQuest. It has 4 different parts. These are; introduction, task, process, evaluation and conclusion. As it is divided into 4 essential points, the students who will benefit from it won't get confused to follow instructions.

In the introduction phase, the point of the WebQuest is explained to the learner. Secondly, in the task stage, what students should do as a work is explained briefly through WebQuest. In the process phase, the task is defined via web-based resources. There shouldn't be any confusion about the task. Thus, instructions must be given precisely. Lastly in the evaluation phase, learners are expected to evaluate themselves by comparing and constrasting what they have prepared.

Me and my pair Melisa, have prepared our WebQuest about creating a digital poster about different cultures and their costumes.You can click here to visit our WebQuest. The original project was not technology-based. It was just preparing a poster and finding pictures of different costumes and giving informations about them. However, we wanted our students to use technology as much as they can. Thus, we have created a WebQuest.

In our Webquest, we have explained the task by means of different technological websites. In order not to confuse our students, we have given a website about different cultures and their costumes. Our students will anaylze it and then choose a costume to create their digital poster. As it is an digital poster, students will use technological material which is called Canva. Our students are provided with a video about "How to create poster on Canva".

We have enjoyed while preparing our WebQuest. I can say that it is really easy to prepare. There weren't any challenges. All of the educators should provide their students a WebQuest task.

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! ; )
