Welcome my dear reader last time for this semester. ππ«This blog post will be about what we learned and what projects we have done together so far. ☑
First of all, Current Issues in Teaching lesson taught me a lot. I saw how we can make course presentations, homework assignments, and projects more effectively, in accordance with the new technology and in a creative way. I observed that lessons can be taught better with technology rather than teaching them with classical methods. ππ It was very beneficial to both do the projects of this course and use it with my students. I was excited that learning and teaching were more efficient and that technology and applications were doing things we would never have thought of.
However, every beauty has its' flaw. π I agree that it is very fun and nice to use, but it is quite difficult to learn how to use technology and its applications. There are countless applications, and you should find the one that suits your purpose and is the most effective. This lesson taught me which applications I can use and where; however, how and at what levels you will use it is up to your curiosity and research ability. ππ· If you are going to take this course, you should have a good relationship with technology. Even if you are not familiar with technology, you must have interest, enthusiasm, and desire to learn, but don't worry; once you start, you can't stop. ππ―πOf course, collaboration is also very important for this course. You will learn how to cooperate with your friends and how to behave towards them in this process. Sometimes you will look through the eyes of others; sometimes you will celebrate your perfect and bright ideas together. πππΈ But in the end, even you will be surprised how much you learn in this course.
ππͺπ₯ Now let's see what projects we did and what applications we used. π₯ π
Firstly, we started the semester by creating our digital worksheet with my friends. We learned how to use 'corpus' and used applications like CoCa and BNCto improve our corpus use. While preparing our digital worksheet, we took advantage of the Canva application, which is indispensable for us. ππ»
Secondly, we learned about the flipped classroom and created a videoand quiz for our students to integrate them with technology. We used the Animaker application when preparing the video and the Eddpuzzle application for the quiz. This may be the task I enjoyed and learned the most and I can also say that it was our most difficult assignment. Because until we prepared the video, it was very difficult to figure out how we should prepare it. Additionally, synchronizing our voice with the visuals in the video was quite challenging. ππ£
πAs a third one, we improved our knowledge about 'augmented reality' and led our students to explore a global issue with AR. We reinforced them with AR videos to better understand global issues and prepared a digital worksheet for them to complete. In the end, we completed our task by giving them a brochure preparation project. This one was easy and fun task to do with my friends compared to others. π«π
Lastly, as a group we created an AI-integrated teaching material for EFL students. For this task, we focused on the writing skills of students and chose our activities and applications according to this. We chose different applications for pre-task, target-task, and post-task of the students'. We wanted to maximize students' use of AI and improve their writing skills considerably. For this task, we used ChatGPT and Magic School.
ππ«What a long and beautiful season we had, didn't we? π«I hope I was able to convey my knowledge to you properly and that you will use what I have told you in your life. However, this is not a farewell post, we are just taking a short break. See you again in our second semester AI courses. Take care of yourself. π½π»π
I saw how we can make course presentations, homework assignments and ore effectively, in accordance with new technology and in a creative way.
Hello my dear reader! π« When I think of 21st century education, the first thing that comes to my mind is learning with technology. When people research things they don't know, they use technological devices-phones, computers…- rather than libraries or books. Even people who say I don't understand technology or phone are actually using technology in some way. While only some of us know how to use technology effectively, some of us do not. In fact, we can understand from today's children that the learning language of the 21st century is technology. When we look at young children, we can say that they are born with the ability to use technology. Even before anyone teaches them how to use the phone or tablet, they start tampering with the phone and discovering it themselves. π±π» In language acquisition, I think the reason why technology is so important is that people want to learn the language from native speakers. It may not be possible for everyone to me...
Helloo my dear reader welcomee! π«π Today our task is to design an artificial intelligence (AI)- integrated teaching material preparation. As you know, AI has entered every aspect of our lives. We see both positive and negative effects in every field, from health to mathematics, from art to sports. What interests us is how it is used in education and language field. ππ»πΉ We use both various applications and activities in our lessons. They say that artificial intelligence will replace many professions, including teaching. However, those who believe that teaching is just entering and leaving classes support this idea. Because as it is known, teaching is a sacred profession and nothing can replace it. Beyond giving lessons, teachers see and value the hearts and inner beauty of their students. ππ§π¦ Let's come to our task. As I said, this is AI-based task, but this time we make students use it. This task is for ELF ...
Hello my dear reader. π« Today, our homework was to create a podcast. My podcast’s topic is “60 seconds idea to improve the world”. To share my idea with listeners, I have exactly 60 seconds not a second down not a second up. The content of to my podcast is to add a psychology lesson in scholls' program. I thought that if a person does not have a healthy psychology, s/he will not be able to develop the world and environment sufficiently, so I started to correct things in the world from human beings. For the process of this task, it seemed difficult at first; but when I found the idea and the application that I will use, things got easier. I used “Podcasters” as an application and it was very funny. You can create your own podcast and share this with people. I only had difficulty recording my voice because it was almost impossible to prevent another sound coming from the outside. π»π While doing this assignment, I felt I was improving myself about the use of technology. ...
