An English Learner's Notes

Hi, world! Our last task was digital storytelling. Again, there were options and we (Zelal, Mehmet Ali and I) chose to prepare a "How to..?" video. Honestly, I suggested choosing that because it seemed easier than the others but I was wrong. We spent days trying to choose an idea for it. We came up with different ideas over and over but could not decide. Finally, we agreed on making origami because it was fun and exactly a "how to" video. Then, we told each other what we can do and assigned tasks. Shooting the video, vocalization and editing... It was tiring but I am satisfied with the video and the origami frog we made 😊. You can watch the video and try it yourself if you want ! This task can provide a lot in a language classroom since it requires the production of language. Students will create content, maybe write a script, read it and at the same time they will hear themselves speaking. It is an all-purpose and ideal task for learners. Check out my teammates

  Hi, world! This is my last “Hi, world!” for this term. There are so many things I need to talk about this wonderful lesson. First of all, this course made me realize that I knew too little about how to use technology in education. Of course, I knew this was a necessity but I came to the realization of I had no idea how to put it into real-life practice. Also, I used to think that technology could be integrated into classrooms only by the teachers’ own use such as using presentations, playing games and making the students watch some videos because these had been the things we saw technology in school as students. No other lesson made me use technology this much. I learned various tools to create various contents. I had no idea I could do them. It is great to see real progress in my technological skills. If we come to the benefits of technology in learning English, it contributes a great deal to the production of language. As 21st-century learners, we and the next generations should be

  Hi, world! For this task, we were supposed to create a digital poster. There were two options: a movie poster or a magazine cover. I chose to create a magazine cover by using Canva and my magazine was about "MUHAK". I am a member of this club at our school and I like to mention that everywhere 😅.  I want to talk about the tool I used for this task. It was my first time using Canva. I heard about it being used usually in preparing presentations but I've never used it. It challenged me since I always have a hard time coping with technology, however, I managed to do the task. I learned a lot about the platform as well. It was surprising to see that you can use Canva for designing almost everything.  The magazine cover I designed is about MUHAK as I mentioned. It is one of the most active clubs in our school and it has more than two hundred members. It was difficult to choose a few of its activities since there are too many. I wish there really were a magazine for the club
