Hello everyone!!
In today’s post I want to talk about my favorite lesson in this semester. The lesson called open and distance learning where we learn different apps and websites thanks to our wonderful teacher Gökhan Karacan.
Because we consider as Gen Z maybe a lot of people may think that we can use technology very well but honestly for me, there a lot of things that I still have hard time to do. So in our fist week of the class we wrote down those things. It was interesting as I learned that some of my friends can create apps or they do coding -which amazes me as someone who can’t even do photoshop-
As you can see in the top, I wrote down the things that I can and can’t do and everybody share what they wrote down too.
For our second week everyone in the class watched seminar and I watched a video from Scott Thornbury and the video called What’s the latest teaching method? After that we joined a telegram group which we can talk with different people and learn about different seminars. It was very surprising for me too see that there are thousands of videos that can help to learn a lot for my profession and it was free?? All the people in the telegram group were sharing different websites, video links, book links and I think that it was one of the benefits of the internet
For our third week our teacher mentions us different websites and applicants and we choose a story from the app called storyweaver. The app contains a lot of stories for different age groups and it is also have options like reading the story a loud. We choose the story Bunt and Bubbly which is about personal hygiene. It was in beginner level and the reason for us to choose that story was to teach our students to importance of taking care of themselves. Here is the link of the story ; https://storyweaver.org.in/stories/202-bunty-and-bubbly
In the fourth week we create an activity that about the story we chose we add something in addition. We chose a simple flash card activity. We add the pictures from the story and circle the specific things like toothbrush,soup etc. The point is to learn adding new things in the activities instead of using them as it is.
In the fifth and sixth week we create something new but it was still for the primary education. We use the app called Lumi Education. The app has a lot of activity options and easy to use. We choose the one called image Hotspots. We can add explanations to the pictures where we wanted them to be and when we click the little plus sign it’s pop up to the screen. We choose farm animals and create out activity. Here is the link of our activity; https://app.lumi.education/content/6422bea02706e9324a5d46a5
With same activity we also record an online teaching video. One of the group members were in the role of the teacher -which was me for our group- and the others were the role of the students. As my friends have to act like 7-8 years old it was fun even though we have to record more than one more time as we can’t keep serious :D here is a photo from that video.
And that was the last homework for this course. As I said it was very fun to learn and try different things and create of our own.
So very big thanks and applause for our teacher to giving us this opportunity 🙏
