TEACHERS OF TOMORROW

  Hello My Friends. I am here after a short break :) If you read my previous blog posts,  you can see Let's Be Virtual; Voki. Now, Second Life is another virtual thing. It is an internet-based virtual world launched in 2003.  The game provides its users a second life. Like its name.  You can start the game by creating your own avatar.  You can choose all the features of the Avatar you create.  This game is almost no different from real life.  Professions, community status, living standards, physical differences are just as much in life as in the game.  The game even has its own stock market and currency.  You can transfer and use this currency to your bank account.  Because players can copyright anything they design, they can sell it to other players and make money.  Our teacher said this game in class,  and I questioned what it has to do with education, but we can create everything in a game of second life like in real life....

  Ciao Guys!  Actually, I came up with something we all know and use, but we're not very familiar with the name. According to the Oxford English Dictionary , an infographic (or information graphic) is “a visual representation of information or data. Infographic is a type of file that aims to make different data easier and more efficient by presenting it to the user with graphical support. Infographics can be effective educational tools, through their ability to break complex information into easy-to-understand elements and even make data engaging. Using infographics in your classrooms will be of interest to students. Thanks to infographics, we can better present information to students by visualizing it, and we can also make information more permanent. Infographics about many subjects can be prepared and presented to students. You can create your own educational infographic and then use it in your lessons. Through Infographics, you can summarize important parts at the end of t...

Aloha Guys! I came up with an idea that you can use in your classes and make lessons funnier.  Powtoon is a tool that allows you to create an animation using speech balloons, shapes, images, characters, and many other materials that you can think of. Powtoon has both paid and free options. Teachers can buy a classroom account for up to 90 students, which gives them extra features. But the products that you can create for free are enough for your lessons. Teachers can make presentations using existing templates or start from scratch. Both options provide users to add text, illustrations, simple animations, short videos, transition effects, and more. Teachers can look for illustrations and videos on PowToon, or they can upload their own.   How can we use this application in education ?  PowToon can be seen to be a powerful animated presentation tool. Through the Powtoon tool, you can share subheadings of the topic or important parts of the topic with your students in a...

  Merhaba Guys!  I can hear your questions, What ? Be Virtual ? Calm Down Guys!  Voki is an educational tool for teachers and students. Voki is an application that allows you to create characters online and voice the text you write.The characters you create with Voki are capable of voicing texts written in many languages. In addition, the opportunity to voice with different accents of the language is also offered with the difference between men and women in each language.  Voki is a very useful application, especially for foreign language lessons. The most important thing when learning a language is speaking skill. Language learners can enhance their writing and speaking skills by writing scripts for their avatars. Language learners are able to create characters and with these they make presentations about their topics.Language learners can make mini stories about animals by creating an animated talking animal. Voki has many different animals and they can use them.La...

  Hallo Guys! Today's topic is Language Management Systems and Moodle.  It is a  software application or web-based  created to manage e-learning processes more efficiently and effectively.  Also, LMS is a web software that allows remote training, as opposed to ordinary training methods. I n most common form, it consists of two elements, the component that performs the basic functionality and the other is the interface which is used by instructors, administrators and students. The LMS is not only used for education in schools, but can also be used in companies. A learning management system provides to an instructor observe their student's attitudes to the lesson,create and deliver content, assess student performance. It is also a system that uses learning methodologies such as live lessons to meet one-to-one communication and learning needs, tests that can measure success, document sharing, chat and sharing. How do learning management systems work?  There is...

  Zdravei Guys!  Here is an another usefull webtool for you today :) First, I think that grid has different meaning but no, it has same meaning in Flipgrid.  Flipgrid is a website that allows teachers to create discussion classes for learners and these discussions are not written, they are videos from learners and teachers.  Teachers create "grids" to ease video discussions. Each grid is like a message board where teachers can ask questions, called "topics," and their students can share video responses. These grids can be seen by classes, small groups and teachers. There are no restrictions on the topics to be made in the video.  As with Edmodo, padlet, the teacher can create a class in this web tool. The teacher creates the class and can include their students thanks to  the class code. In this classroms,  the teacher can request a video as a preliminary preparation for the topics that he/she will handle in the classroom.  Teachers...
