A Better and More Modern Way of Homework

Hi everyone!

It's been a week since I uploaded my last post. I hope you're doing well.

Today, I'm going to talk about a much modern and better way of giving homework. You may have heard about Seesaw before. It is a website which allows you to give homework or do activities with your students easily. We can say that it is a social media for teachers and students. With Seesaw, you can easily follow your students' performance and progression. So as to give an example, I created a 2nd-grade activity.

I FEEL ENGLIGHTENED! | 2ND WEEK OF 21ST CENTURY SKILLS TRAINING

Hello friends! It’s been a week and half since the last post of mine. There has been quite busyness in my life but there is one thing that I enjoy in all busyness which is 21st Skills Training Course. In the 2nd week of this training, we have touched into two main topics which are collaboration skills and English as a global phenomena. In the first section of the class, we have focused on collaboration skills. At the beginning of the session, our teacher Melda Yılmaz introduced us to Linoit which is a website that allows you to create boards with sticky papers. In our session we used it to create stories. As groups, we were given certain words to chose from, then with my friends created a story using those words. At the end, we shared them as sticky notes, on our class board, with class mates. Secondly, in the same session, we were given a murder puzzle, again in groups. In breakout rooms, we started to discuss about the murder mystery. One by one, figuring the ti...

MindMeister is it!

Hi everyone! I’m sure that you know about mind maps. They’re really helpful when you try to conceptualise any topic. With the help of technology, we can easily create online mind maps and share them. However, it was not possible to let people add on them and improve your mind map in one place. MindMeister is what you need to use when you are in need of a collaborative mind map. It allows you to create your mind map and share it with others. That’s why it is a meister 😂. Also, you can print your mind map after you finish creating it. I find it helpful and created my own mind map. I thought that I would use it in my class while I do the topic of plants and let students add on it by searching for different types of plants. You can see mine down there and you can also Click Here to go and add on it.

A Step into 21st Century

Last Friday I started a training program on 21st century skills and the very first lesson was mostly a wonderful discussion. Beginning with a presentation on critical thinking, we discussed different questions such as “What is critical thinking?”, “Who is a critical thinker?”, What type of qualities differentiate a strong and weak critical thinker from each other?”. After discussing all these questions some of us stated that their perspective on critical thinking had changed accordingly. Then, we participated in some kind of a game about understanding a critical thinker’s mind and we chose the possible statements which a critical thinker might make in some situations. It was fun! In the second part of our training session, our teachers Melda Yılmaz and Dilek İnal trained us about English’s being a global language. Throughout our lesson, we discussed different criteria that make English a global language. I personally think that English is a global language because of the p...
