EDUCATION PLAYBOOK

 Hello!      Here's my final post of this term. I'm going to talk about the courrse shortly. Firstly, this course is a great follow-up to the last year's educational technologies course as it has allowed me to see how I can use the knowledge as a teacher. So, I'd say this link is a big strength of the course. Also, I believe the detailed instructions our instructor gave us made the course easier than it could have been. My favourite among the tasks we've done is the AR/VR material preparation, simply because it is more interesting, with the multimedia and the immersivity it includes. The one task I did not enjoy was the flipped classroom project because it was extra difficult to do with a partner. It was hard to find the right time and place for both of us to record the lesson. But this task and the corpus project is the first ones that come to my mind when I think about which ones I would use in my teaching career.      That's all I wanted to say. Tha...

 Hello! I’m here with my final project for the Current Issues class! This one is a project on AI. I worked with Burçin Gümüş and Eda Gassaloğlu . We decided to work with the "Movies" unit in the prep-school book and speaking skills. Then , on  Canva ,  we designed the material  based on preparing a movie poster. The generative AI we provided in the material is Gencraft . For the pre-task, we added discussion questions and some tips. And for the post-task, we added reflection questions about the use of AI. This project was a bit similar to the Corpus project we did, so, it was not too challenging. Here’s our project. I'll see you in my final post!

Hi everyone!       I'm back with another project I did for my Current Issues class. For this one, I worked with Burçin Gümüş and Eda Gassaloğlu . We were tasked with making a handout that included QR codes to AR/VR material about two landmarks, one museum and a cultural aspect in a city. We picked Barcelona and chose the material we could work on. We found two 3D models for the landmarks, an  interactive VR tour for the museum, and three videos, including a VR one, for the festival. Then, we wrote questions about these materials and designed the handouts on Canva .      I think this technology is beneficial for language teaching as it simulates authentic language and settings as well as facilitating student engagement.     That's all for now. I'll see you soon!   See our project here.
