Final post

    Hi everyone today I am going to talk about the whole process of Educational Technologies class.I am going to share my thoughts, suggestions.Firstly I want to touch on that I have always been struggling with technology related assignments because before that I knew or ,more clearly, I understood the enough to use it according to my purpose.I had a hard times at first because I did not understand much about technology.I was not one of those children who was silenced at home with a phone and a computer and I feel lucky about that. As such I can say that I started to be interested in technology late and I think it is normal I am not being not so receptive in this matter. But I think this course has made me better at using technology for the specific purposes.To tell you the truth, I think it is very useful and I have gained experience in areas where I do not have experience, that I do not know. We all already know that the place of technology in educaton and the use of technology are important.Now, as in everything else,technology has been integrated with education and has the effect on reinforcing and developing education in many respects.Thanks to this course, we are now sure that technology has become an integral part of education and its place in education is getting stronger with the advances.As for my favorite work in the content  of this course,I can say without a doubt that it is podcasting.I enjoyed prepearing my podcast very much and interestingly it did not feel difficult at all.I can even make a podcast from now on, this topic really stuck in my mind.Friends I work with for digital storytelling also say that my voice is rather good and proper for podcasting, they say I should make  a podcast and share it on spotify:))The best suggestion I can make for the course and operation of it may be doing more individual works.To put it personally I do not like working with the group very much besides I find it exhausting and I am sure there are a lot of people who think like me.

    All rigt everyone I think that is all I had to share.Hope you enjoyed see you in my next one and wish you all a good one byee for now.

Digital Storytelling

     Hi everyone, today I'am going to talk about the process of preapearing our digital storytelling project.This was a group work.We made a group consisting of three person.First of all I want to mention about what is a digital storytelling. Digital storytelling is the art of combining storytelling with with some mixture of digital graphics, text, recorded audio narration, video and music to communicate information about a specific theme or topic.We create a whatsapp group in the first place and decided the type of digital story.We are all have the same ideas and we agreed that we were going to make a public service announcement.We talked about the group that what can we do, we agreed on what we should choose as the subject.There should have been a current issue that also concerns Turkey.Hence, exam anxiety would be suitable as the PSA topic. What information do we want o viewer to know ? We talked details such as introduction, and course of events in the video and audio, we made research o the internet and so on.In the first part of the study, the process went like this.Then we chose the part of our video that we will vocalize and then everyone recorded the piece that they would sound recording.As the final stage, we prepared the video and combined the sounds and we finished our assignment at this point.With this kind of projects we learned to work collectively and also learned help each other where needed an assisment.Personally,I have to admit that it is pretty entertaining, productive and informative.I am not sure if I would make my students do something like this but again it was a good experience for me.

    I hope you're enjoyed whle you are reading.That is all I have for today.See you in my next one byee for now.

CREATING AN ONLINE MOVIE POSTER

    Hi everyone it is me again, I hope you are doing well.Today let's talk about the process prepearing a movie poster.We were expexted to prepeare a poster of a book we were read before.The movie of the book we read is being filmed and we are responsible for the advertisement poster of the movie.For this assignment I used canva.Actually the app is pretty basic and useful.I made the movie  poster without any difficulty,but I had to change it a few times because it was not what I wanted.I personally think that it is pretty funny to making a movie poster. I chose the cast as I wanted.It was very comfortable as we worked individually on this assignment and I was free to do what I want.As said before friends, I prefer to work individually, even though group assignments are an environment where you can consult what you do not know, you cannot do everythink according to your own pleasure.Anyways,I can use the canva app for my students in the future or I can ask them to design anything too.I have not used the app before so I can say that it was a nice experience for me.From now on I will use canva when I needed.

    Thank you all,I guess that is all I am going to share today.See you in my next one, byee for now
