OUR AR/VR INTEGRATED TEACHING MATERIAL!

-

 

  Hello my friends and welcome back to my blog page! 

Today, I'm going to write about my experience creating an AR/VR-integrated teaching material. For this assignment, I worked with my friend Serra Kara. We decided to create a material on visiting Rome, Italy. We used Canva to prepare our material as we both are familiar with it. For the landmarks, we chose the Colosseum and the Pantheon. Then, we found 360 videos and informational videos about both places on YouTube for the students to explore. We turned the links into QR codes using this site. We also needed to find a virtual museum in Rome for our material. Using this site, we linked a virtual museum for our students to visit. As a part of our material, we also had to write questions for each part for students to answer after watching the videos. For this part, we used the help of Magic School Ai as well as the questions that we wrote ourselves. Overall, this was my favorite teaching material so far and I would definitely consider using similar materials when teaching. As foreign language teachers, we can use AR/VR to take our students outside of our classroom to different countries, museums, and historical places and I am pretty sure that it would be so beneficial for their learning process.

I will be linking our AR/VR integrated teaching material right here for you to check. Please don't forget to share your comments with me!

MY CORPUS BASED TEACHING MATERIAL!

Hello my friends and welcome back to my blog!  Today I am going to be talking about my experience of creating a corpus-based teaching material for the first time. For this assignment, we were supposed to choose a teaching unit from an English coursebook that is used by preparatory year students in Turkey. Me and my pair ( serra ) chose the difference between the adjectives ending with -ed and -ing (to give an example, bored/boring) from Unit 5. The reason is that we as Turkish EFL students have found it hard to differentiate between these usages when we started learning English. Thinking that our target audience may also struggle with this issue, we wanted to design our material on this topic.   With this corpus-based material, our students will be able to have a chance to use technology effectively in the language classroom as well as take part in the discovery learning process which is an important component of 21st century learning.  Designing the corpus-based mat...

My First Podcast Experience!

Hello, my friends! Today I will be talking about my experience recording a sound-rich story for the first time. This time, we were assigned to record a podcast for our educational technologies class. Our teacher gave us a few options, such as individual works, pair works, or creating a song, sound-rich story, etc. After discussing the other options, my friend ( Serra ) and I decided to make a sound-rich story as it was the most suitable option for us. There were certain words that our teacher sent us to use in our story and we chose five of them and wrote our story together. Our story is called “Lily’s Birthday Party”. It’s a short story about a five-year-old’s surprise birthday party. Our story is pretty simple because we were told to make it around 90 seconds and our story turned out to be 115 seconds. Another thing that we had to do was adding at least 10 sound effects to our story. After writing our text, I found some sound effects and background music and made a playlist after dis...
