How would you learn in the Era of the Jetsons?

-

 How would you learn in 2100? Your answer will probably be like 'Full of technology, with holograms', etc. Back in the 90's, people were saying similar things too! We cannot imagine how developed the technology will be nearly 60 years later so it is understandable that they couldn't too. They probably felt like they were asked the question of 'The Jetsons Era'. Technology always develops, and day by day we try to catch its speed and act accordingly. We learn it and use it to learn through it. It is important to keep up with it in our Era more than any other time. We use technology as if it is one of our organs. Do not think of an organ like appendicitis, I meant an organ like arms and legs as use our phones more than our appendices for sure. Our phones, televisions, computers, and even our fridges are so electronic right now. We have all the information we want under our noses, we can learn anything through it. To specify this broad subject, I would like to talk about my own major. I study ELT (English Language Teaching) and i use technology in lots of my classes and I don't think of any other way. I prepare presentations, I open pdf files, I prepare digital notes and I sometimes write research papers. I communicate with my teachers and my friends so that we can be in pairs or groups in our projects. I'm telling you this as I don't think I would have these chances if I didn't have technology as my helper and I think every student of language should have this opportunity too. They learn a new language, and a new language means a new culture, even a new, unique personality for a person. They can use technology to meet the native speakers of the language they are learning, and they can watch, read, and write things about the language and the new culture. I don't think we can expect them to accept the language so fast when we don't give them these opportunities. This was for today's discussion, I hope to see you soon!

xoxo Melike.

 Hello Everyone! It has been a great week for me, what about you? I was busy doing my homework as always. This week we worked on the topic of artificial intelligence use. Again my team consisted of Umut, Alperen, and me. We had a great time, no lies here. However, this time finding a task was quite hard as we wanted to do something as creative as possible. We created an activity of 'writing a story' with the help of AI tools. The students are required to find a pair and select a genre for themselves: fantasy, mystery, or romance. They need to ask the AI tool to write a story and then, they need to form it. While writing the story, they need to pick 5 words related to their topics and include them in their stories. They also be given a worksheet where they need to fill in the words. After writing the story, they will be given a feedback worksheet where they will be able to select whether they enjoyed the activity and again, they will express their feeling with a little writing a...

HELLO EVERYONE! It is always a pleasure for me to write here and thankfully, this week we have lots of things to talk about. As I mentioned in my previous post, I started taking Current Issues in English Language Teaching class and this week we were asked to create Corpus Based teaching materials and a lesson plan according to the ASSURE model in teaching. It means that we need to create an assessment that requires students to use corpus and then, we need to implement it in a lesson plan. It was group homework which I did with my friends Elif and Evrim. We created a 5 pages long material about Possessive Adjectives with activities such as filling in the blanks, true-false, choose the correct option. We used Canva and Paint while preparing them and made them so colorful that even I wanted to do them on my own. We needed to be sure that we were attracting their attention, did not we? We divided the sections among the three of us and used Canva's technological help to see each step of...

FLIPPING AROUND!

  Hello Everyone! Wow, such a week it has been! It seems there were lots of different ways to teach that we did not know until this week. We learned an approach called 'Flipped Classroom'. This approach allows teachers to use technology to record or choose a video of the subject that teachers will discuss in the next session. Then, they will send it to their students so that they can practice the subjects at home by themselves, and in the classroom, they can do exercises and activities with their teachers. To be able to comprehend it better, we were given the task of preparing our own flipped classroom video and material. I worked with my friends Umut and Alperen. We chose the subject of superlatives and comparatives. We prepared two different activities and one presentation video. We had trouble while trying to find the best platform to record and share the video on. However, in the end, we thought it would be best to record the video on Zoom and share it on YouTube. We were r...
