INFO+GRAPHIC=INFOGRAPHIC

Hi everyone reading this post! Today, I am going to mention about creating an infographic. This was an assignment for my Educational Technologies class. I liked this assignment because it appeals to both visual intelligence and verbal intelligence. It can be used by both teachers and students. I used Canva to create mine. Canva has a lot of templates to do this kind of assignment. For example, if you want to create a poster, you can find lots of poster templates there, as well. As for creating infographic, it is a useful assignment for language learners. It helps them to learn new words associating with the pictures and graphics. From the perspective of a teacher, it may be good to assign students with such a colourful assignment for drawing attention. To sum up, it is a nice assignment and, as a future teacher, I can use it in my classes, as well. That's all from me for today. If you want to share your ideas with me, just comment, please. Adios!

HAVE YOU READ "1984" BY GEORGE ORWELL?

Hi dear blog-lovers! Welcome to my new post, today I am going to talk about 1984 written by George Orwell, my poster of this book, and my experiences during the task process. 1984 is a dystopian. The reason why I chose this book is it is so fluent that while I was reading it, I felt like I had been in the book, as well. Moreover, this book is not so far away from the reality as compared to the actual World.

I created my poster by using Canva. It was an enjoyable task. However, as a future English Teacher, I would change this task a little bit. I may add some things related to languages. Thus, my students both learn how to create a poster and subjects from the language I teach. I may make them create a poster about their own lives. It may be like an autobiography display.

Okay my dear blog-lovers, that is all from me, for now. I hope to see you my other posts, as well. Take care, wear a mask. Adios!

Padlet: clean water ın ıstanbul

Hi dear technology and education lovers! In this post, we will be talking about Clean Water in Istanbul. This task was a group project. We, as a group, used Padlet and created a KWL chart. KWL chart is a technique which we use to list what we know, what we want to know, and what we learned. By using this, we created a Padlet page about Clean Water in Istanbul. The opportunity to see each other's opinion helped us to have more creative ideas, and to evaluate each other's work.

This task was fun and easy for me. It made me learn more about the subject that we used in Padlet. We are a group of five. A wall on Padlet was created by each of us. Then, we chose whose was the best. Finally, we shared what we knew, what we wanted to learn, and what we learned. Moreover, we added some photos and supported our ideas.

As a future teacher, I may use it and make my students use it in the class. Using Padlet is an effective tool to make students think about something and create something. In 21st-century learning, it may be used as a group, pair-work or individually. It helps students be more comfortable while doing their job in groups. They can share their ideas more freely.

Finally, this task was both enjoyable and informative. Because it is a group work, I owe my friends thanks. Those are their names;

-Asude Karataş

-Emine Aslı Baki

-Emre Yunus Angay

-Sinemis Kaplan

Thanks for reading this post, dear technology and education lovers! Take care, wear a mask! Adios...
