Movie Review on Wiki

Image
      I n this episode, we are doing a film review which is so fun because I am a movie addict. We were supposed to pick a movie with my friend Mehmet Ali and we picked "Truman Show". The movie really made us question the reality. Also it was fun reviewing it. The characters, the camera techniques, the colors... They were all fascinating.I would sincerely recommend it. I hope you will have the same excitement I had as a movie enthusiast!     We used Wiki to do the task collaboratively. I have used it for the first time but still it was easy to understand. It is a great way to put our thoughts on a digital writing platform with Mehmet Ali. It has been a great experience. Keep on following for my next posts ! -Here is the link of Mehmet Ali's blog, if you want to see his post about this movie https://yahehe147.wixsite.com/malibog

21st Century Learning & Skills

Image
Since the beginning of the 21st century, technology has entered our lives faster than a speeding bullet. It inevitably caused and keeps causing changes in every aspect of life.Thus, the best way to be prepared for those changes is to adjust our education system accordingly. It can be generally agreed that education in our time is more complex than it was before. Because people need different skills to lead their lives which can basically be summarized as 4C (Critical thinking, communication, creativity, collaboration). For a better carrier, education is now being built on these skills from elemantary to highschool.  With technology integrated classrooms and appropriate curriculum, students are easily and unconsciously adapted to 4C. Teachers have an important role in acquisition of 21st century skills. With the homeworks, technology integrated tasks and in-class activities they apply, students automatically become 21st century’s successful learners.              On the other hand

Dear friends, welcome to my blog and thank you for visiting. Here, I will be talking about topics related to language learning and teaching, my experiences and fun stuff. The reason I am starting this blog is I have been keeping a diary since I was a kid and it is an undeniable fact that it has been a great company that benefits me in many ways. So I thought it is time I kept up with the changing world and moved to a digital platform. I hope I will be able to share my progress both personal and academic :)
