 Hello everyone!      Today, I will share my thoughts on my Material Design in English Language Teaching course since it is my last post about it.      I feel like I saw the teacher part of the things I learned with the Educational Technologies course. I am glad that I took both of these courses and did all these tasks. Throughout the term, I did lot of tasks, I learned many different concepts about material design and they helped me a lot in terms of planning my future teaching. With the help of this course, I know that I have MANY options while creating my materials and also I learned how to transform coursebooks' projects and tasks to better ones. I am also glad that this course is offered by such an foresighted person, Dr. Kurt, as she taught us about the flipped classroom, technology-integrated tasks and projects. Because I believe that these will generate the future of the education.      The only weakness of this course was i...

 Hello everyone,     Today, I will share our technology-enhanced project with you. The task was to redesign a project to make it technology-integrated. It was a group task, my teammates were Yaren and Oğuz. We chose our project from MEB's Preparatory Class Student's Book. Here are the original project steps: Prepare your own poster about how to protect our nature and write your slogan on it as in the examples below.      Then, present your poster to your friends.      In the original project, there are not enough steps to explain the porject and it is not integrating any use of technology. Also, the project is not giving a chance for the students to facilitate self-learning or practice their language skills.      The original project involves creating a poster which is composed of a slogan and a visual.We changed it with creating an infographic which involves visuals and data. Creating an infographic requires students to d...

 Hello everyone!      Today, I will be sharing my augmented reality worksheets and project material with you. My task was to create an augmented reality integrated material explaining a place abroad and guide students to explore it. I chose Italy. I used Canva to create the handout as it's really easy to use. I introduced some landmarks, a gallery and a carnival. I searched for the 3D videos or 360 videos for the places I have chosen. I found one video for each place and added their QR codes to my worksheets. I also asked 5 or 6 questions for the students to answer after watching 360 videos. I also added one fun fact for each place to make the handout more engaging. I used extra visuals to make the handout more visually appealing.  Then, I created a project for the students to share what they have learned before. Students should plan a trip and write a letter to their friend to share their plan. I tought it would be a good idea as my handout looks like a travel ...
