AI Integrated Material

      This week, my friends Bora , Polat , and I created an AI integrated material for students to use.     Our target audience was high-school prep students. Making an AI integrated material was easier than I thought. Our instructions were about creating a task and asking students to do the task while also using AI to do the task as well. It helps students to compare the differences between a human-made homework and an AI-made one.           We chose the topic animals and brainstormed what should we do. Then, Bora and Polat wrote the new words that we should be introducing to the students (according to their curriculum) and I created worksheets on Canva about these new vocabulary elements.     Overall, it was fun, like always.     Our worksheet.

AR/VR Integrated Teaching Materials

      Hello, again     To be honest, I don't even know why I always say "hello again". Maybe it was funny thought but I don't really laugh at it anymore. I'll stop using it I guess. Now that I've talked about this concern of mine, let's talk business.      This week me and my friends Bora and Polat made a worksheet that consists of AR and VR teaching materials.  But what is AR or VR? AR, also called augmented reality ; involves the immediate utilization of data presented as text, graphics, audio, and other virtual enhancements combined with real-life. So, the real world and the digital world is partly intertwined. VR, on the other hand means virtual reality  is a computer-generated 3D environment that allows users to navigate and engage with a simulated environment, closely resembling reality as perceived through their senses.  We found 3 videos and 2 of them has 360 degrees view accessibility. We transformed the links of those...

Flipped classroom

               Hello, again...      This week me and my friends Bora and Polat made a flipped classroom project.  It is an instructional approach that flips the traditional roles of in-class and out-of-class activities. It empowers students to take a central role in their learning journey, emphasizing interactivity and communication.     Making it was an easy task to be honest. At first, we thought we could make a unique animation but it turned out to be a task that required a lot of effort so, w e used the AI tool animaker to create our educative vocabulary video and wordwall to create an evaluation game. I did the animation while Bora and Polat wrote our script and then we did the voice-overs. Overall it was a fun experience and we learned a lot. It also was a great activity to do with your friends. Me, Bora, and Polat had fun for real! p.s: i did my best to make a funny and appealing video for the target audi...

Hello Again!!

      Hey, I thought my job here was done but it seems like I am mistaken. I don't know the duration but I'll be here for some time.      This week me and my friend Polat designed a corpus-based material using SKEll.       Overall, it was a fun experience. We made activities for English language learners about the topic relative pronouns. We used Canva like always and you can see our finished product here.                Our target audience was anyone who has the proficiency level to understand the topic and we tried our best to make it interesting by adding bunch of fun pictures. We also chose great examples as a cherry on top. It was a great opportunity in terms of collaboration and as a future teacher candidate it was beneficial as well. Let's see how long I continue this blog thing. Anyways, I hope you like it. See you again.           ...

Farewell

      Hello, again... for the last time.     Hey guys, sadly, this will be my last post. It has been a great journey, it has taught me many new things starting with making a blog! I liked making these blog posts. I learned how to make an animation, a podcast, a movie poster and much more! Collaborating with my friends was also fun! There are at least 4 different people I worked with throughout my journey. We did many things together, we learned together. I liked every single minute of it.         I'm sure that I will assign my own students so some of the tasks we were assigned to. Our tasks was always informative. Especially the podcast and animation was my favorites. I had so much fun and I'm sure that my future students will like it too.       I don't think I will ever post a blog post again to be honest but I'm glad that I've experienced it. It is a hard thing to do I will not deny that, I had some hard times ...

Making a PSA video

Image
      Hello, again...     This week we made a PSA video with my friends Bora and Eren. We choose animal adoption as our topic. At first, we gathered up some information about animal adoption. Then, we recorded our voices and found some copyright-free pictures online. Working with them was fun! And like always we strengthened our 21st century learning skill collaboration as well.      Finding a background music was also fun! We found the best music immediately. I will not spoil it, so if you guys are wondering you can check our PSA video.                                                                                             ...

Making a movie poster.

      Hello, again...     This week we are assigned to do a movie poster about a book that we have read before. It wasn't the best task we had so far but it was an easy one. I used Adobe Photoshop(PS9 to do it. Some of my friends used Canva and its tools which are relatively easier than PS.      To me, making a movie poster can be a fun task to do as a younger student. I may assign this activity to my future class as well.     I chose Jake Gyllenhaal as my main character and found a copyright-free dystopic photo to use in the background. Other than that was my imagination actually. I searched some movie posters online and tried to make a poster that looks just like them.      The book No Longer Human is a recommendation of mine as well. It has a unique pessimistic point of view. The writer's life is also interesting, you should check it for sure. It is about a person who does not feel like a human and his effortless tries ...
