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!

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.

An Important Point to be made! | 21st Century Skills Training

  Hello friends! It's been a week and I'm here again with 21st Century Skills Training. This week was very busy because of mid-terms and homework. However, 21st Century Skills Training made my week. This weeks focus was on copyright issues, licensing, cyber security and being critical with digital information and media.  Embed from Getty Images  For the first session, we focused on copyright, licensing and cyber security. Do you know that every work of your intelligence can and should be copyrighted to your own name? Also, you have to act according to copyright terms of a work in order to use it and these terms have renge of differences from work to work. Another thing that must be known in terms of copyright is that teachers can use a work partially if they are making use of that work for teaching materials. On the other hand, we learned about how to get a license for others' work. All those information were useful in terms of knowing how to use the data that we found a...

Sutori of Everything

Hi everyone! I guess now that you know I love literature. So, I have made another work on literature but this time I have used Sutori to tell you about my story. Sutori is, again, a website in which you can create stories as you can see down below. What's more interesting is that you can also convert your prepared stories into presentations and do not need any other gear to create presentations. Additionally, it allows you to add images, links, videos, and audios as any interesting presentation or story should be. What I have most liked about it is the feature which helps you to add quizzes to your story. In short, Sutori has all the things making your work easier and more interesting. As always, I have created an example and in this example, I have mentioned the novels of Jane Austen. If you want to know more about the website you can click here .
