Kahoot

      Hello again my friends! This time I want to share my first Kahoot activity with you. I always find playing Kahoot in the lessons very enjoyable and I also enjoyed a lot when doing my own activity. In my activity, I want my students to learn antonyms. I gave them a specific word and want them to choose it's antonym among the options. Kahoot is kind of exciting when playing it because it has time limitation but in my opinion, it makes the activity more challenging for the students. Using Kahoot in the lessons is very useful as far as I see in our lessons and in my own activity. I guess I am going to use it in my classrooms in the future. So, there's a link below which you can find my activity. Hope you like it! (:

VR Activity

     Hello again friends! Today I want to share my experience of using virtual reality glasses in our IT&MD lesson. In the last week of our lesson, we are given the glasses by our teacher and we used them to play a game. In the game,there was buildings and a plane which we could control to make it not to hit the buildings. We controlled it with our real motions, it was really fun. After that lesson, using virtual reality in the lessons started to seem useful to me. For instance, sometimes you need real environments to teach your material, such as address description. In such cases, we can use virtual reality to make the classroom environment more real. Besides, this type of activities clearly attracts most of the students' attentions. I will try to use it as much as possible in my teacher career. Also, there's a photo of me from the last lesson below. (:

Storybird

     Hello my friends! This time I am going to share a very enjoyable activity with you. I tried Storybird website to create a poem. However, it is not limited with just to create poems, you can also create different types of comics, short or long stories. You can also find drawings in Storybird to make your activity more outstanding. For instance, I wrote a poem which is about a girl who is obsessed with the nature. My main goal here is to teach some kind of animals or plants which live in the nature. In my opinion, doing it with a poem which includes lots of attractive drawings made my activity more interesting. If you are curious about my activity, just click the lik below! (:

Voki 

   

     Hey friends! This time I am here with my very first video of Voki. I really liked this website because it gives us a variety of opportunities when creating our videos. Firstly, we can create a character according to our wishes. There are several characters over there and we can also change some features of the characters. Also we can select the background among several of them. Besides, we can add voices to our characters. It can be our voice or we can choose the voice over there, there are also lots of voice options. In my opinion, it is preferable in the lessons because it really attracts attentions of the students. Here is my first Voki video which I told about collabration in the class. I want you to have a look at it, just click the link below! (:
