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.

 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 and how we can ensure we are not doing something illegal. Additionally, It is important to note that we should teach those information to our students for their learning process and future work life. Another thing was cyber security, our and our students cyber security is an important issue when digital literacy is the topic. Anything that is shared online should be considered twice for our security. Also, there is a thing called cyberbullying and it is very serious when we think about security. We should be know about how to protect our data and teach students on this topic. We also should make our students be aware that we will be by their side if anything related to cyberbullying happens. Another important point is to let our students know that cyberbullying is a crime and there are legal consequences of it.

 In the second session, our topic was digital information and media. The main point of session was figuring out whether a data is useful or not and how to use our data with alternative ways. Deciding upon the reliability of the data we found somewhere requires different steps such as judging credibility, accuracy, currency and usefulness. Also, we learned about different cloud storage options and their features that help us work collaboratively. They are very useful for asynchronous learning and group works in order to be organized and stay planned without losing any data.

For this week, we have come to the end of our time, do not forget looking for copyright, licensing and cyber security. I'm sure that you need to know those topics without any differences of working area. Let me knıow if you have anything to say in the comments. 


See you!

MORE WAYS TO IMPROVE

Hi everyone! I'm happy to say that I have a super cool way of learning to talk about. Okay... It may not be super cool but it is super accessible and free. Have you ever heard about Udemy, Coursera, or edX? They're all online websites that enable you to take courses from all around the world. You don't have to go anywhere, just sit and learn. In addition, all these websites have free options, this means that you cannot say I don't have enough money. All you need is a computer or a smart device, internet and PASSION! I have taken a course and been taking another. Both of my courses are about psychology because I have a passion for this area. Here is my first certificate on increasing one's influence.  I challenge you to complete one of the courses that draw your attention and post it to me, or you could just enjoy learning something. See you later!

THE FUTURE (VR)

 Hi everyone! I came here to make an update about Gamification and its ways to apply. As we have talked about gamification in our vidcast before, I won't bore you by defining the term gamification. However, you should keep in mind that gamification can be applied by means of many different ways such as basic computer games, with the help of augmented reality, or simply just with a fun game that includes input. I should accept that those all have an influence on education but there is one thing better, more modern, and more real, which is Virtual Reality (VR). Before any bias, let's just think about it. Most of the parents, even many teachers, think that games are nonsense and couldn't have any good effect on their child or any learner; nevertheless, they all wrong at one point. Games may take time to apply but they have no harm to people as long as they or their parents know how to use it appropriately. Researches show that games do harm only a small part of society whic...

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. If you want to see my work and look for more please click here.  Do not forget to inform me of your view!
