 Hi everyone!      Today I will be talking about my Educational Technologies course journey and my thoughts on this term.       First of all, I'm glad that I took this course. When I first saw this course name, I thought that it is probably one of the typical courses that offer subjects such as using Microsoft Word, Excel, and so on. It definitely shocked me when I found out that this course has many creative, productive, and useful subjects to offer. Before taking this class, I would only think that technology can only be integrated by using certain apps or popular websites and social media platforms such as Edmodo, YouTube, Zoom, PowerPoint, Duolingo, and British Council. I still think that these are useful apps and websites but now I know that there are MANY OTHERS!

Hi everyone!      Today, I will be talking about digital storytelling. This new task includes 3 options. Creating a PSA, a How To video, or a fictional story. All projects are for 2 or 3 people. I teamed up with Yaren Topçu and Oğuz Kaleş . We chose creating a How To video project. Our topic is meditation. Before creating the video, we divided the task into 3.

 Hello everyone!     Today I will be sharing my infographic on online education and how to be a successful student during Covid-19. The task is creating an infographic using any tool you choose and creating a blog post to share the details. I created my infographic by using Canva. I liked this tool as it allows you to use templates and you have control over everything to personalise your infographic.          The task is entertaining as it involves colours and designing as you wish. I would love to give this task to my students as it requires research and creativity to create an infographic.           Here is my infographic:   Feel free to contact me if you have any ideas, questions, and comments.
