It's Not the End :')

 Hey! Welcome again to my blog. I hope you are all fine.


This is the final post that I will be writing for this blog :') I will tell you how my adventure went.


When I first heard the name of this course, I thought it would be a similar course to the computer course we took last year. But things weren't like that. In this lesson, our teacher told us how technology can be integrated into English language education, which I have never experienced before. I have used various tools and programs. I can say that you have added a lot to my technology knowledge.


The most important benefit of this course for me was these programs that I learned. For example, I have used the Canva for different purposes in multiple assignments and it has been useful. If we're talking about tasks, not tools, the task I had the most fun doing was making a podcast. When I saw that the options given by my teacher were to prepare songs, I was blown away with happiness. I immediately took my guitar in my hand and started writing my song. The assignment I had the least fun with was definitely preparing a public spotlight. Not that there was anything I didn't like about the idea, but I was sick as hell while doing this task. God, don't make me live like this again.


I can think of only one idea that will make this lesson good. And that's definitely the abundance of options in the tasks we do, and I would say the opportunity to work with my classmates and get to know them. Which was a feature in our class, and I think that's something that made this lesson good. This is my advice to other teachers who do not process the lesson in this way.


Okay, I'm not going to lie, I got a little emotional. I'm sure that many years later I will remember that I had such a site on time and I will check it. Me at the time, I hope you're very happy.


Whoever is reading this, please be kind to yourself. Stay with peace.

Teaching Through AR/VR

 Hello, again! How is it going? I hope you're all fine. In this blog, I will talk about my experiences about AR/VR integration to English language teaching. For this activity, we collaborated together with Tuğrul Dölen . You can click to his name to go to his blogpost. English language teaching of VR/AR technology was Decently not very difficult for me to incorporate. For the assignment, it was necessary to choose 2 historical sites, 1 museum and 1 local food. We chose New York as the city. Because the city had many places that could be considered very important, and there were plenty of opportunities.When choosing historical sites, we realized that the first 2 places we thought of were very beautiful, so we chose Times Square and the Statue of Liberty. We chose the Met Museum as a museum, which I think was nice. As for food, we preferred the New York-Style Cheesecake, which is also featured in Friends, one of the most popular TV series. We used Canva to make the des...

AI-Integrated Homework for EFL Prep-Schools

Image
 Hello, what is up? I hope you are doing good. In this task, we had to design an artificial intelligence-supported activity with Mehmet Can Alaf . In this task, together with Can, we had to design an activity supported by artificial intelligence. We chose to improve students' writing skills and aimed to use Chatgpt and Bing AI. Frankly, it was one of the activities I enjoyed most while preparing, but it still took me much more time than other assignments. First, Can and I chose the topic. We found it appropriate to focus on students' writing skills. As the title, we chose "Turkish customs and traditions", which is an activity in Intercultural Topics, one of the preparatory books of "MEB." While I prepared the pre and target activities, Can designed the post and instruction part. While we were planning everything, we exchanged a lot of ideas and completed the assignment. I believe that in the future, artificial intelligence will be much more integrated into e...

Your Friendly Neighborhood: Podcasting

Hey! Welcome again to my blog. I hope you are all fine.   I produced a podcast this past week. I had a choice among the several podcast formats, and since I play the guitar and enjoy singing, I decided to write a song or chant. It was enjoyable, just as I had hoped it might be.   I had to come up with an 8–10-line chant or song that the character would sing to identify herself or himself for this assignment. I decided to write a song as if Spider-Man were introducing himself, using him as my superhero of choice. The phrase "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" is one of my favorites from the film, and I utilized it for the repeated phrase. I took the rhyme into consideration when I was creating the words, and I created a chord progression that was simple to pronounce and upbeat for young listeners. When my song was finished, I appreciated the Beatles-inspired mood I felt, even though I had initially intended not to mold the song.   Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Ma...
