PIXTON

"Comics make writing FUN Kids love comics, and computers. Tap this interest to get them writing!" I copied this sentence from PIXTON website. I think this sentence summarized the idea behind PIXTON. First off all you create an account then you choose background and characters then you start writing your funny sentences. You can edit it, you can filtered it. Then as a teacher you create your Avatar and you define a class code. After these, you invite with class code  your students. Every student create own avatars. This is my PIXTON comic! I hope you will enjoy

STORYBIRD  

Hey guys, today we will talk about a really creative app: STORYDIRD. I love reading writing stories. It also help me to develop my language. When I be a teacher, I suggest to my students reading. and writing somethings.Saying; "take a pencil and paper, now write somethings." a really old comment. So I will teach my students: STORYBIRD. 

This app gives us a book format. Pictures and pages has been already created. You choose which type of story will you write and then you start. It has huge library. Moreover, it has Wonderfull characters, that make you feel in the story. This app wants to you be a member. There  are some options for that.

IT'S TIME TO VOKI!!!!

I am very happy to met with Voki. It is a a great world. I think creating is something that makes us happy. It gives us self confidence, revealing something by yourself is wonderful. Future based on technology, so education based on technology too. When give a homework to my students, I can use Vokı. For example, when I want students to create a dialogue, they don't have to just write, they can create a character thanks to Voki. Thus, students will enjoy and gain self confidence. MY VOKI LINK

KAHOOT

Technology and Education series continue 😊

Kahoot is a website that consist of pictures, questions and answers. I sometimes think Kahoot is a game that very fun. Firstly like all of sites, you create an account than you prepare questions and you upload picture that related to question and answers. After read an article a teacher can prepare a Kahoot related with article. In this way students will learn easily. Moreover it is a game students have to give an answer no more than 1 minute. Not only teachers can create a Kahoot but also students can create it.

SecondLife 🎈

Meeting with Second Life

Monday morning in instructional technologies lesson, I learned a virtual world named Second Life. The funny part is that, our teacher said that we should create an account in second life. While I was trying to understand the link between lesson and second life, Tuncer teacher expressed; we will create cartoons with our avatars in second life. It was interesting and sounds good. I have never joined a virtual world, thanks to Tuncer teacher's guidence I downloaded second life and started to create my world! 

Initially, I chose my avatar figure her name is, Betül 😁 then I explored my island. There is like a real world, you can make a friend. Furthermore you could speaking, chatting with your friends. There is no limitation on your acts. You can even fly if you want. It's great that we will learn preparing cartoon using these avatars and it will help us when we teach english.

Now, I will add a photo from my virtual character 😇
