Internet Project Experience!

 

Interned-based Project!

I was asked for creating a padlet page while using information from multiple websites. Let me briefly explain what I did for this task: It was a group assignment and we did a great job! We were asked for creating an informative page in case of using it for teaching English. (This is also the part explaining why this assignment is about “21st Century Learning”)

Using Padlet for this project was fun. I suppose I would use Padlet as a learning or teaching tool. I find it very useful and creative. While I was working on the task, I was separately searching about the capabilities of Padlet because I very much liked it.

I want to talk about how we did our assignment. We were asked for creating a KWL page (It stands for “What we know”, ”Want to know”, and “What we learned”) page and chose a topic given. We selected “Bullying at School.” As our topic and we thought and wrote about it widely and wisely.

Finally, as self-improvement for 21st Century Learning, I saw a nice opportunity to use the internet for teaching English. As this tool can be used for teaching everything, it can be specifically useful for teaching foreign languages because it is supported by the internet itself (I mean there is an uncountable amount of knowledge on the internet).

As I wrote before, I really enjoyed it while I was doing this task. You can also look at our work here.

Wiki Experience

 

MY FIRST WIKI EXPERIENCE!

    I have been given an assignment as I am expected to create my first wiki page, I created one and you can read it from here.

    As the modern age requires well-developed teachers capable of understanding and using every kind of technology, wikis are also part of it and as a future teacher candidate, I also expected to create my own. The focus of this task is learning what the wikis are and how to make a brief one. The task was not hard for me because I reviewed, I well knew but if I would be tasked a product I had no idea, most probably I would have bad times. Writing a wiki is nice; however, I most probably will not use one. Because wikiing is getting an outdated method, my student will not have to deal with them maybe even they will not encounter any.

My First Podcast!

A Podcast Trial and an Idea of a Green World

Hi again! I have prepared a podcast today. My podcast is a short talk about how to make the world a better place. I have talked about my opinion on how should we live. If you want to listen to my short podcast you can listen to it here.

Creating my first podcast has been fun. I have already had an idea about “Better World” so writing the script is easy but the recording process has made me stressed. Because of not knowing how to use such devices and programs or platforms for such a work. I have felt negatively exciting to do that job. Nonetheless, I have finished my first recording and shared it, have fun!

I do not completely sure whether I am going to give my future students such a similar task or not. I personally find podcasting useful and fruitful. If I would give them such a task, they would have a chance to listen themselves and improve their listening and speaking skills greatly. So, the greatest advantage of podcasting is that it is an excellent example of self-development way, and I believe that the most effective way of learning is self-learning and knowledge obtained by self-development techniques. However, there is a disadvantage that cannot be ignored. Just as I have written, podcasting can be stressful, and making my student stressed to improve their skills is not my cup of tea. I know advantages are more notable than disadvantages, so it would be a good idea anyway.  

21st Century Learning

 

21^st Century Learning

The 21^st Century is different from any other era of humanity. As humanity never advanced ever before, we experience new, surprising, and exciting events, technologies, and discoveries. Our current period, the 21^st Century, offers us drastically changed ways to live, communicate, work and learn.

21^st Century Learning is outshining other centuries by using the Internet and online platforms. With the invention of the Internet which is the largest column of our current entire community. Education also benefits from online methods and the internet itself. Both teachers and students or all kinds of learners participate in online lessons via internet connection without the need of going to schools. The teacher can give their lessons with computer-integrated useful programs and can use very extended digital material such as slides and videos. Students can benefit from online homework and online lesson independently.

In my opinion, 21^st Century Learning means digital learning, being able to use digital platforms and use the internet as many as possible. It is additionally important for language learning. As students and teachers can be united from all over the globe, we can study foreign languages ignoring distances. Furthermore, thanks to the internet we can reach any sources we demand. If we are learning a new language this can be especially useful, we can find any kind of grammar knowledge, reading or listening activities, or tips for learning that language. I have already used these kinds of things while I have been learning English. And as a 21^st Century teacher, I will be sure about my students also use them too.

Welcome To My Blog

 

WELCOME ALL!

Here you are... Welcome to my blog. It is very nice to see you here. In this blog, I aim to show you new technologies for education and some methods for teaching and learning. I also would like to share my personal work about everything I find useful for students or another teacher.

As a future teacher candidate, I would like to share mostly language learning techniques, tips for skills, and maybe grammar knowledge. I also will share the works I will be given and maybe other works like not about English language learning but cultural, interesting, or humorous things I think I should share and can be kept for later use.

I created a blog because I think blogs are easy to use, rearrange and examine. My blog will be easy to reach and read, and I will be always looking for new things I learned to share and write over.

Finally, this blog will be English and mostly about English Language Teaching. As I am going to be an English teacher, I believe that English is one of the most important languages one should know. I think this blog will be helpful both for me and for my readers.
