EDUCATION PLAYBOOK

HELLO! I'm writing for the Educational Technologies class for the last time and here's my thoughts:      My approach to the technology integration in English language teaching has not changed much, it was positive and still is. As for my own learning process, this class familiarized me with several tools that I will probably use in the future.     As I've implied before, I don't enjoy writing. So, any task that required a lot of it would be among my least favourites. What I enjoyed the most throughout the course was every chance I got to design something.      I think among all the tasks I've done, the most beneficial ones are the ones that allows the students to talk about their personal interests, like the movie review.     So, I've had an overall positive experience with a few stressful moments in this class. 😅 Thanks for reading...Bye! 🙋

I chose this one because it is one of my favourites and while reading it, I remember imagining what a movie adaptation would look like.     I mainly used postermywall because there were a lot of options for making a movie poster. But for the distorted chess board, I used canva as the other tool did not offer that much customization.     This was one of my favourite projects as it was mainly visual. I am sure language students would find it fun like i did, but I don't think it is as effective as the previous projects for language learning.     This was my last task for the Educational Technologies class but I will post again. See you soon! Here is my poster:

     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 ...
