Link Them All! | Thinglink

Hi everyone!

I know sometimes we have issues with putting all in one place in terms of a term, book, etc. This was also an issue for me before I met Thinglink. It is a website that could be used for many different purposes, and as always I'm gonna mention its benefits to education. When I first was this website I thought that itis a perfect place to make an introduction to deep topics such as literature, science, and philosophy. This website allows you to add tags to a certain photo or video; you can even use VR images and videos and that's what we love to do in this century. As an example, I have created a Thinglink in order to inform people about Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It is such a simple example but I am sure that it will give you the gist.

LAST WEEK OF THE TRAINING | 21st Century Skills Training

 Oh! What two weeks it has been! You couldn't believe what happened in the previous weeks even if I told you but I AM BACK. I missed you so much. Those days a bit lonely as we are always at home however I have a good opportunty to make my loneliness more bearable. Yes, I'm talking about 21st Century Skills Teacher Training. Two week ago, we had our last training meeting and it was very informative and fun. If your are interested, keep reading! We have discussed about an article, Teaching Material in EIL by Matsuda, in the first session.  This article focuses on important parts of materials and textbooks. We have made a group and whole class discussion on this topic by sharing our reflections on the article. We found out that materials should include diverse representation of different things such as cultures, ideologies, accents, visuals, etc. Also, the article point out to the evaluation of materials by giving different criteria. For example, we should think about the variety...

You've got a second chance! or Should I Say SECOND LIFE

  Hi everyone! If I say that you could be whatever you want, would you believe me? Probably not. Let me explain a little bit. Last week, our instructor told us about Second Life which is a new world (or I can say life) online. In Second Life, we have a new world and a new us. We can create an avatar with the appearance we want. In short, we can be whomever we want to be and do whatever we want to do. This app also used as an educational tool. One example of it is my instructor Tuncer Can's project which brought about a lot of attention. If you want to learn more about his work, you can check it online. As an example, I created myself and became a vampire. Here is my selfie as a vampire in SecondLife. I think you should try it, too. If you want to, you can click here in order to reach SecondLife.

Duolingo & Memrise | Have Fun!

Hi everyone! I know that vocabulary learning is a big thing most of the people because with traditional techniques it’s so boring. However, technology brings its benefits with itself and gives us different opportunities to learn languages. Today, want to talk about two different application I found very useful. Firstly, I’m gonna talk about Duolingo. It’s an application within which you can find different languages to learn. If you ask why Duolingo, I would say that it’s not boring and old school. Today, we don’t like anything that brings the need of vomiting, also anything that is boring won’t help you to learn something because your motivation will be much lower each day. In a nutshell, please try it and inform me on your thoughts. Click Here to reach Duolingo. Secondly, Memrise would be a good choice to work on. Memrise simply the same thing with Duolingo but there is one thing that made my mind blown. That thing is the camera detection system of Memrise. You can hold your p...
