And yet another farewell day has come. I can say that this course has contributed a lot to me. I cannot help but say that my dear teacher Gökçe had a special impact on my liking this course. Still, I'm glad I was able to finish this course because I put in a lot of effort and time. Frankly, I don't see much of a weakness in this course. We learned many technological tools for different tasks and produced projects based on integrating them into education to teach students. If we talk about its strengths, I can say that we use more than one technological tool. Artificial intelligence, augmented reality etc. Then we designed a lot of various activities and I'm sure these activities will be very useful in our teaching career. The thing I found easiest while doing homework was using technology. I can say that I am someone familiar with technology. But I had difficulty turning these into homework.

 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.

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

 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 design. It's a
