Final post

 Hiii, everyone this is the last post the term. I briefly talk about the general impressions of the class. First, the strength of the course might be encouraging teachers to follow technological developments and integrate this technology to their lessons. With the help of the current technological movements like AI, VR, AR teachers can develop new attitudes in their teaching and students can learn more effectively than classical methods. On the other hand I find pretty difficult to work with someone else, especially the ones that unable to take responsibility and people have lack of sense of duty. To be honest, I would expect a person of this age who wants to be a teacher and comes to school for this purpose to have these characteristics. It was a total disappointment. Anyways, my most favorite task was AR,VR teaching material.I think that, the task was quite intresting and colorful. Because one of my interests is traveling to European cities task appealed to me very much. I enjoyed it while completing it and of course it was a bit tiring. The least favorite task and the most difficult one was flipped classroom. In my opinion the task flipped classroom challenged us the most.We did not know how to use the tool to create a teaching video. In the audio recording phase I also experienced problems. I personally think that individual study opportunities shoul also be offered. I am definitely not against pairwork or groupwork, they both make our work easier and enable us to cooperate. But again for the reasons I mentioned above I am not very keen. I recommend the students who would take this course next year that they should study in advance while there is still time and not leave their assignment untill the last minute. This would be the best advice I could give them. The course contribute to our professional development in terms of using technology as an instructor of the future generation. The course aimed to become teachers who can use technology in education. In my opinion it was successful in this regard and reached its goal.

So that is all for this year, I learned so much and hope you learned and enjoyed as well. Wish you all have a good one. Byee everyone.

AI-integrated Teaching Material

 Hi everyone, today we are going to talk about the processs of prepearing a teaching material. This time AI integrated one. First of all we are supposed to work with a pair. For this project I work with Zeynep Naz İnalkaç. I have to indicate that group work or pair work is not for me actually. I cannot work with another person and I like to work alone or individually. Anyways, we did our last assignment of this term. I choose the writing part and decide the AI tool as Chatgpt. Topic of the writing assignment is living in a big city. I asked a few questions for brainstorming stage. After that I asked them to write a paragraph about the big city life. I ask them to use chatgpt for getting feedback to their writings. I stated that they needed to make further adjustments based on the feedback they received. So, they used an  AI tool. We used canva again for the AI project.                                    

The advent of artificial intelligence has brought a new development path for education. AI has revolutionized the field of education, transforming the way students aquire knowledge and enhancing their learning experiences. Besides, AI tools have emerged as valuable resources for student seeking to enhance their learning expereinces.

That is all for today I hope you are enjoyed while reading and learned something new at the same time. Byee for now.

AR/VR Integrated Teaching Material

      Hi everyone it is me again. I hope you are doing well. Today I am going to share the process of pepearing ar/vr integrated teaching material. In this project we worked together with Zeynep Naz İnalkaç. First of all we chose the option 1 which is exploring a city abroad. We decided the city as Amsterdam.  For the section one we introduced two landmarks such as Dam Square and Jordaan District. We put some pictures of the landmarks and gave some information about them. We attached the link to a 360 video for students to explore. After that stage for each landmark we added some questions based on what they watch and read on the material. We made sure that the questions were catchy. For the section 2 we decided to introduced the Van Gogh Museum and again added a picture of the Van Gogh and some paintings of him. For the the other part we chose the Amsterdam light festival. We informed the the students about light festival and we added engaging questions. We used canva as a tool for preparing the material.

    One of the key benefits of  VR and AR is the ability to provide students with immersive and interactive learning experiences.VR and AR also offer instructors new ways to present conntent and engage students.These technologies can create engaging and interactive presentations that capture students's attention and make learning fun. 

    That is all I have to share for today. I hope you were enjoyed. See you in my next one, byee for now.
