Digital Timeline




 


Hi, I have started to write again after a long time. Today's topic is related to creating a Digital Timeline. Our teacher has assigned us to create a digital timeline about the history of technology in language learning. 

As it is known, language learning and teaching is our field and we try to improve ourselves as EFL teachers. Firstly we should catch up with educational technology. Integrating websites and infographics into your lesson has crucial importance while lecturing. As I said before, today we dealt with creating a digital timeline. First of all, it was fantastic and enjoyable because designing something is wonderful for me. We had to read the related article in our coursebook then we were to summarize it.

Creating a timeline is a little bit demanding and tedious because you do more than one task at the same time such as summarising, inserting information, using google sheet, and checking it. However, when you have finished the project, you understand it is worthwhile. 

You can check my digitaltime line below.

SEE YOU

Hi again. This post is going to be my final one. So, I am sad👴 Before letting me go, I want to talk about my personal experiences through the Educational Technologies class. How did you view technology in English language teaching before you took this course?     Obviously, I am more experienced and knowledgeable about technology now. Generally, I have been using technology for doing my homework, researching, and working mostly. After I have started to take this class, my perspective on technology has changed. Firstly, I learned that there are many useful tools for learners, especially English learners. Secondly, I was able to improve my digital skills which I will use throughout my life. And finally, I improve myself in terms of group working. How this course has contributed to your learning about and understanding of technology integration in ELT?         As I said, the Internet is like a sea in which there are numerous resources for learning and te...

WebQuest and Farewell

Hi, today I've completed our final task which is QuestGarden. I am going to talk about it and say my last words.  Firstly, I want to talk about WebQuest. It is an interactive platform enabling teachers to create process-based materials for students. It includes phases such as Introduction-Task-Process and Evaluation. Our task was to prepare a WebQuest in which students will follow a guideline to learn and study. I worked with Selda Kaya, you can reach her website by clicking here. We firstly decided on a topic which was saving nature. We then brainstormed and reasoned about the process. Briefly, it was challenging at first but with my friend's help and a lot of give-and-take, we were able to do it. You can click the link below and reach my Webquest. CLICK HERE TO SEE MY WEBQUEST PAGE. As I said before, this is my last post and shortly I will talk about it in general.  1- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the course? One of the greatest contributions of this course to me...

Flipped Approach

  Hello! Today, I will talk about Flipped Approach. Let's begin by defining a flipped classroom. Students learn at home and practice at school in a flipped classroom. The teacher makes a video for the targeted topic and distributes it to the pupils so that they can learn about it whenever they like! This method allows teachers to save a lot of time in class, allowing them to spend more time at school practicing the material rather than just teaching it. On the other side, this time savings benefit students rather than teachers. For beginners, making a flipped video may be difficult. Let us share our experiences! For the high school prep-class, our topic was "Comparative, Superlative, and Equality." We assumed it would be simpler. Despite some difficulties, it was enjoyable to be a part of this flipped video.  Let's talk about what we created with İrem First, we used Canva to build a presentation paper. Then, using Microsoft Video Editing, we record our voices to inser...
