My Journey in ELT

 Hi everyone! I am so happy that this term ends. But I don't know how to feel about this course's ending. I guess relieved... Speaking for myself, I learned a lot from my instructor and this course. The part that I truely love was blogging. I want to keep writing my blog, it’s really relaxing.  Among all the tasks, creating a podcast was my favorite, while creating a flipped class was my least favorite. I believe these feelings stem from the process involved in each task. For example, we created the podcast in peace. It was an enjoyable time for me and my partner and we are content with the result. However, the process of creating flipped class was so tiring that I remember how I eagerly wantes it to be done. I guess group members affects everything. Although I liked creating most of those materials/videos etc., I don't think all of them are necessary for our teaching. I think there were lots of assignments, that bored me a lot. If there we weren't so busy with other cl...

 Hi everyone! How have you been? I hope you are great. Be ready to read my last post for this term. (let's say assignment related.) This is the last assignment of the term. We worked in groups again with my dear friends Fatma Reyhan Tuğ, Sümeyya Ataş , Sümeyra Aslan . I must say that I am really lucky to have these group friends. Thanks to them it was again an entertaining process.💟 Let's talk about the assignment then. We were supossed to create an AI integrated teaching material based on the book of high school prep students. We selected a topic/focus to be able to create an AI integrated work. We decided to use the topic directions and wanted students to create a map using the names of the places through ChatGPT. After the creation we asked them to create questions again by using ChatGPT. Up to this point, all the things are based on the AI usage and good instructions. After that, they exhange the worksheets then answer the questions of his/her partner.  I think this assi...

       Hello everyone!      How are you doing these days? I hope you all great and ready for the finals week. If you are asking me, it's getting harder everyday to keep up with the assignments. I've learned from experiences that procrastinating always leads to deep regret. So, I am trying to be the best of myself and don't procrastinate studying. 😣 Nevermind. Let's talk about this week's assignment on Current Issues class. 2 weeks ago, at class, we reminded what was the AR and VR and saw some examples on them. If you often get confused like me, AR is augmented reality that adds digital elements to real world. And more beyond of it, is VR. VR is a virtual reality that creates fully virtual and immerse world. Later that class, our instructor told us to create a AR/VR integrated teaching material and I panicked the moment I heard it.  Relax, relax. We're not creating an AR or VR video ourselves. We just need to use existing ones from the intern...
