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 design. It's a very useful site. We found 360 degree videos from Youtube. We just used a site where there are 3d designs for cheesecake. You can find the links below. Finally, we gave an assignment for students to practice, as if they were writing an imaginary e-mail to their friends.

I think integrating AR/VR technologies into English teaching would be fun for students. This way they can connect to the lessons with more passion and it will benefit them. They also get to know new technologies along with the developing world.


That was all for today! Please be kind to yourself, see you.

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-Man |

Wiki Experience: Film Reviewing

 Hello! Welcome again to my blog. I hope you're fine. These days, I have acquired new skills. two experiences, in actuality. one) creating a wiki; and two) reviewing movies. I won't say that it was difficult for me to describe what happened if I had to. I was joined in our movie review endeavor by my classmate Ebru. Moreover, working with her was enjoyable. Let me first describe the process I went through for reviewing movies. As Ebru and I were discussing movies to see if we had seen the same one before, we realized that we had both seen the film My Father and My Son. So there really isn't a specific reason why we picked this movie, if you think about it. Before we viewed the other movies together, it simply entered our heads and was said. The information material provided by Gökçe teacher later taught me how to write a movie review, and my friend and I collaborated on a collaborative piece for this task.
