Digital Storytelling: 3 tips to have a good relationship with your teacher

-

Hi! This post is about digital storytelling. I created a digital story with my friends Deniz and Eda (you can also visit their blogs and learn more about our project). For this task, the option that we chose is‘‘how to’’ and the topic is how to have a good relationship with your teacher. The tools that we prepared our digital story are Movie Maker and Adobe Premiere Clip.

The Process of Creating a Digital Story
At the very beginning of our project, we decided the option that we wanted to choose. Then, we found a topic that everyone could like and benefit from. While we were preparing our speeches, we used this page on Wiki How website. After editing sound recordings, we added visual aids and background music to our video and finished our project.
While creating this digital story, we didn’t experience difficulty in general. When we needed, we always helped each other.

Digital Storytelling as a Learning Tool
Digital Storytelling is a great learning tool that includes 4Cs (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity). It facilitates learning and gives students opportunity to be creative. It can also foster collaboration when students work in groups and share ideas with each other. Students can improve their language skills while they are creating a story and vocalize it. So, I think digital storytelling is a practical tool to facilitate learning in language classes and I believe that I am going to give a digital storytelling task to my future students to improve their skills and learn in an enjoyable way.
You can see our digital story down below:


Have you ever created a digital story? If your answer is yes, please leave a comment below this post and share your experience with me.

I hope you like our digital story.
Love, Rana.

Hi, it’s me again! The midterm week is over. So, it’s time to share a new post. This assignment is using padlet as a group project. Our topic is endangered species which is a global problem. In general, our project includes 4 main steps: 1. Describing the problem 2. Sharing causes and effects on the problem 3. Sharing some public opinion on the problem 4. Offering solutions to solve the problem Taken from here . I was responsible for the 3rd step. For this, I prepared a survey to present whether people are aware of this problem that animals become extinct or not. As a group, we collected data. Then, I analyzed results and showed them as charts. Personally, I haven’t heard padlet before this course. Then, I’ve learned that padlet is an easy tool to use and to reach the information. At the end of our project, I loved the way that our padlet looked and I believe we inform people about the problem. Padlet is really useful as 21st century learning/teaching to...

Teaching with Technology Philosophy Statement

Hi everyone! In this post, I am going to state my teaching with technology philosophy . Today’s kids found themselves in the technology age as soon as they were born. They were exposed to technology and now it is a natural part of their lifes. Being in touch with technology is not a matter for them. It is just a natural habit. Therefore, we called them ‘‘ digital natives ’’. They are more experienced than ‘‘digital  immigrants’’ that were not raised in the digital environment.   If I talk for myself, I was born in 1999 and I am not a digital native exactly but I am pretty close to native ones. Here, I think my teaching with technology philosophy statement must shaped because I am pretty sure my dear future students will be totally fearless about using technology. So, my duty as a teacher will be guiding them so that they can adapt technology to their education, especially language education. There are some questions that every teacher candidate in the 21 st century...

As you can guess, my target audience is everyone who loves chocolate. Poster-making as a learning tool I think poster-making is a very effective task to facilitate learning. As you know, 4Cs of 21st century learning are the keystones that must be in every task given to students. Poster-making is one of these tasks. Students can communicate , collaborate with their friends, think critically and create a product. Because of these reasons, I believe that I will give such a task to my future students.
