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!

CREATE YOUR CANVA!

Hi everyone! Have you ever heard about Canva? It is an application that helps you with pre-made drafts of different kinds of cards. You can use these cards in order to fulfill different purposes but today I want to mention its use in education. Canva can be used in education while studying special days and holidays of a country, creating brochures, or you can give your students reading lists and they create a summary of a book by using different photos and they can present their cards in class. You can see an example of mine above. I have created a Canva in the name of a Turkish Holiday. Click Here to Go Canva!

A Bunch of Tools | 21st Century Skills Training

  Hey friends!  How are you? How was your week? I hope you did fine and ready to learn more about 21 st  Century Skills. This week’s training was all about tools that we can use in our teaching process and work life. I’ve found some of them really interesting and helpful, and I will share them with you further in this post. Embed from Getty Images     At the beginning of the session, our teacher Melda Yılmaz presented us with 6 different tools and showed how to use them properly. The first tool was Edpuzzle, which is a website that allows you to add questions and notes to a video and make it interactive. I think that this tool is very useful in teaching, especially with asynchronous learning. Also, this website gives you a chance to mark your students’ work. What we all wish for!     The second tool we’ve talked about was Animoto. Animoto is an online tool that helps you to create different and interesting videos without putting too much effort i...

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...
