A Film Review

-

Our homework for today was to interpret a movie and we interpreted Corpse Bride with my friends Diana and Zeynep. Afterwards, we received a review from another group. I also leave my friends' blogs here: 

Diana's Blog

Zeynep's Blog

We used Google Documents to do the movie review. I think Google Documents is really useful for doing a collaborative task. It is very convenient for common use as everyone has the right to edit and interpret it. In addition, since it is accessible from anywhere, even people who do not have the opportunity to meet can work together.

I would give my students a task in which they would use documents. Because it is a platform that makes working together easier. So, I might consider giving assignments where they will use documents. I can also give movie review duties. Because watching movies is fun and such a task can also be useful for improving writing skills.

It was a fun task for me too. Corpse Bride is a very famous animation and I felt like it was a bit of a shame not to have watched it until now. I watched it on this occasion and I am happy about it. It was also fun to think and talk about movies with my friends. I liked the task because we watched movies, and I liked working with Google Documents because it was easy to use.

Ethical and Legal Issues Related to Effective Technology Use: Copyright

-
Hello! In today's post, I prepared the topic 'Ethical and Legal Issues Related to Effective Technology Use' as a  template  and also, a  template  with its subtitle 'Copyright'. I briefly introduced and explained the items to you. Since 'ethical and legal issues' is the subject of our course, I prepared both a template for it and a template for 'copyright', which is the sub-heading I chose because it is a comprehensive, interesting and important subject that needs to be known. I found the templates ready-made on the Canva site, I leave the links of the original templates below. I also got help from a site while preparing a template on 'Copyright', I will leave the link of this site below. Finding the appropriate template, especially an eight-item template, was difficult, but it didn't take much effort. I had no difficulty in preparing the template and adapting it to my own subject, I even had fun. If I were to create it from scratch, ...

Lesson plan and material design

-
Hello everyone! In today's post, I will talk about the homework I prepared with my friends. In this homework, we prepared a lesson plan and a Corpus-based material. We used the ASSURE model in our lesson plan. First, let me explain to you what these terms are. Corpus-based Materials: “Corpus-based materials are teaching or learning resources developed using real language data from a corpus. These materials reflect how language is actually used in real-life contexts, making them more authentic and relevant for learners.” ASSURE model: “The ASSURE model is a framework used to prepare an effective lesson plan. It begins by analyzing the student, determining the objectives of the lesson, selecting appropriate materials, using these materials effectively, ensuring active participation of the students, and finally developing the plan through evaluation." We used the COCA application in our material, allowing students to contribute to their own learning. We used Canva to ...

A Digital Story

-
Hello everyone! In today's post, we fulfilled our duty of preparing a 'digital story' and prepared a  video .  This assignment was Creating a Public Service Announcement video and we discussed the harms of using straws to humans, animals and the environment in our assignment. Choosing a topic for this assignment was not difficult at all because it was easy to find a current topic. I did not experience any difficulties in recording audio. However, I would not prefer to give such an assignment to my students because I do not think that it will gain anything, in fact, I think it is a time-consuming activity. I can also give students different tasks that aim to integrate technology.   That's it, thank you.
