  This week we discussed about  "digital citizenship, digital literacy, information literacy, copyright and licensing" topics. The session started with a match up game which included main terms of the chapters we were assigned. 9 terms were asked to match up with their definitions and I got 7 out of 9. I confused ICT with social media literacy if I'm not wrong. Then we continued our session with discussions made in groups. In our group we mainly had the same ideas about digital literacy, digital information, the skills of information literacy, the need for digital literacy and so on. However, when it comes to deciding the reliability of a source, one of our friends said something I would have never thought in my whole life, which was "checking if  the source has gsm number or not." She explained that in medical researches if there is a number we can contact and get more information from a professional which meant they were a credible source. This is a tactic  I ...

  This week we had two main topics; collobration skills and global englishes. In t he first sessions we started with an activity. Our teacher showed us a picture and asked us to create a story with words used in the picture as a group. After discussing our stories, we were asked to create a storyline for the song we listened. I had a great time doing these tasks. Working as a group really helps me understand others and realize my own strengths in different roles . For example, I can see if I'm better at initiating the idea or creating ideas to back up the story while working collaboratively.

So, doing these two activities not only made me have fun but also realize new sides of me. Last task on collaborative work was about finding the murderer. It was a fun game but I believe such games would be a lot easier in face to face education. We had few difficulties but i...

   1st Week of 21st Century Skills Training    On 6th of November, we had our first online course of 21st Century Skills Training. In the first session we discussed "Critical Thinking". Before the session, we were asked to read a text about critical thinking and consider the given 4 or 5 questions. So, in the session i, like all my friends in the project, already had an idea about critical thinking which made the tasks easier to do. At first, we were not given an explanation or definition. We played a little game where everyone gave an answer to given questions about 21st skills through our phones and we were able to see the word cloud, which also made it clear that our ideas  on 21st century skills as participants were similar. Then, we were separated into groups of 4 with different roles and asked to answer questions about critical thinkers. I think this was helpful because i could see the different perspectives in the group while explaining strong and weak cr...
