Your New Assistant Voki!

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoy yourselves.

Today, I want to introduce you your new assistant in teaching. I’m talking about Voki. Voki is an application letting you create different avatars and make them speak. Think about it. How would your students react that kind of a thing? I think they would really love it. I have been thinking about using Voki in classroom or outside of the classroom. I should admit that I still have some unsolved thoughts on my mind but I’m sure that I’m going to find ways of using it in my classroom. For now, I have got the idea that we can create an avatar that is special to every student in your class and this avatar could inform them about their assignments. Also, we can add some tips and clues, if some tricky parts exits in the given assignment. I’m sure that your students would love the avatars that are specifically made for them and would be motivated much more.

I have created an example Voki in order to show you how it works. You watch it down below and click here to reach Voki.


See you on the next one!

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.
