“Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.”

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.

The augmented reality assignment was my least favorite assignment because it took too much time and I didn't enjoy it. The flipped classroom assignment took a lot of effort, but I also enjoyed it.

When I think about what I can suggest to improve this course, I can't think of much. I think Gökçe teacher arranged the course's mise-en-scène very well.

My only suggestion to students who will take this course next year is that they should choose their partners carefully. With a good partner, they can do all their homework very easily. Since this is a group job, it's really important to find someone you get along with.

I think this course will be very useful to me in my teaching career. Since I can use technology in education, I will be one step ahead of teachers who do not know this. Additionally, students will enjoy lessons more as activities will become much more fun with technology.


Finally, to those who read my articles, I would like to thank each and every one of you. You can never imagine how much you truly mean to me. Until next time, please be kind to yourself!

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...
