My Experience With Podcasting

By -

 Welcome back! I'll be talking about my first podcast exparience in this post. The teacher assigned us to make a podcast and gave us 4 options. I picked the one that could be done individually, which is called "improving the world". We were supposed to come up with an idea to improve the world and present it in exactly 60 seconds. 

 After listening to the examples from BBC and checking out the titles, I came up with my own idea and how to present it. My idea was to limit the number of residents in each city. I wrote a text and read it aloud a few times. Then i recorded my voice, which took a lot of tries. I uploaded the recording to a site called Anchor and added a background music there. The site allows you to upload the finished work directly to Spotify. So, after setting up the title, cover and the description, for both the podcast program and the episode, I uploaded it to spotify.

I cannot say that I liked the experience. I did not like the idea of recording my voice and I became very insecure about it. But the site I used for podcast was very convenient and easy to use. It provided everything you need for a podcast. So, Im glad i discovered it.
In the end, i would not assign my students with a similar work as it could make them insecure as well.

My Take on 21 Century Learning              21st century brought about countless changes, one of which has resulted in the new generation of students who grew up surrounded by technology. This new generation caused new needs and possibilities in education. In this post, I will be exploring these. The Young Students' Expectations     Since they are already competetive in technology and are more open-minded towards it, it should be implemented in every area possible in the classroom, which will help the teacher meet the students' demands.  A young student will expect much more than a blackboard and a text-book in the classroom and will adapt easily when given the access to new technology and its integration, all thanks to their close relationship growing up. The Classroom Dynamics     This competence and familiarity also  makes it possible to improve themselves without relying on the teacher and causes the traditional c...

Digital Storytelling

     Hello and welcome back! I have a new experience to talk to you about. As we're approaching the end of the semester, we have a few assignments left, one of which is "digital storytelling". In this assignment, we were given several options and all of them were group tasks. I chose to work with Ebru and Hüdaye , and we agreed on the option of creating a fictional story.       We created a ghost story and made the illustrations on a website called Pixton . This was very helpful tool as there was a big selection of costumes and hair for character design as well as body poses, face expressions and props for storytelling. It was quite easy to use, too.     Then, after recording our voices too, we created the video on Canva . For a video maker on the web, it was pretty good. For the soundtrack and sound effects, we used the website  MixKit . The free options on there were more than enough for our video.     So far, this has ...
