EduTech

     Before taking this course my classroom technology knowledge was about only smartboards. After this course, I noticed that we live in the technology era and we will be teachers in this era. Moreover, there will be much more options to use in the classroom in the future. I think that this course made me a more open-minded person about technology usage during lessons. Also, I learned about healthy technology integration in education.       During this course, my favorite activities were Digital Poster and Digital Storytelling. Because everyone knows that new kids grow up with a mobile device from little ages. This means they are always surfing on the web, using apps like YouTube and Instagram. Because of this fact, they are used to seeing videos, images, and photos and these attract them the most. So I think that we can convey our messages through digital images and videos as in these activities.      My least favorite activity was inf...

      While working on the Digital Storytelling assignment, we as a group of four decided to prepare a PSA video about software piracy like PC programs and video games. We distributed tasks, everyone did some work and eventually, we created this video it was fun to be in this work because I play video games and I am interested in software, the topic attracted me. Also, the images and videos that were used for the creation of the main video were great and informative about the topic. We used an audio edit program and iMovie as the video edit program to merge the sounds and videos. Probably, I will use this activity in my future teaching career. Because I think that this topic (PSA) enlightens students about daily topics and improves both their creativity, language skills, and group community skills.

I also used Canva.com but this time I used mobile app of it. There are also ready-to-use infographic schemes on both website and mobile app. But I think that this was so much easy task for students and also I don't think that this task will be beneficial for them.  

          Hello everyone, this week we were supposed to create a digital poster. And because I'm interested in American football, I decided to create a magazine cover page about it. I created this magazine cover page with the help of Canva.com . You can create any type of project you want by using Canva. Besides premium features, there are lots of customization options. Then I used a QR code generator to add a QR code that leads to my blog page. You can also visit the website of the QR code generator by clicking here .             As I said I follow the American football league which is also known as National Football League (NFL), so I decided to use the real events of the NFL and the real names of the player and team on the magazine cover. And I think that using real events and names makes it better and more sensible.           In the future, I'm sure that I will use this activity ...
