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.

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 has been to improve my horizon. I did not know that there were so many innovations in education in the field of technology. I do not think that this course has weaknesses, but it is a bit of a challenging course. 


2- What did you find easy or difficult about the course?


Giving too much homework is a challenge in itself. We were given lots of homework. Apart from that, the easiest thing could be the instructions. They were clear and concise.  


3- What was your most and least favorite task? Explain your choices.


I was very satisfied with the Flipped Approach task. It made me feel like I am a teacher. On the other hand, Digital Timeline wasn't my cup of tea :)


4- What would be your suggestion to improve it?


The tasks are great for students but may the instructor give less challenging tasks.


5- What would you tell to the students who would take this course next year?


Try to complete your tasks on time. Don't postpone them because it may be demanding and suffering to manage them in the end.


6- How would this course contribute to your professional development?


It improved my computer skills actually. Primarily, I am competent at Canva. I can use it in my future career comfortably. I had been a person doing the tasks individually until I took that course. I am now a group person :)

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...

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...
