UPDATES ON THE PROJECT

 Hello my dear readers. This week started with us creating the last steps of our project before presenting. We were mostly on Zoom as a group discussing and making changes, adding details to our work. We had both an amazing and tiring time during the last week of project. We as a group worked on our website design details more than the last days. However, our focus was on analyzing the survey we conducted. Survey gave us so much data we had to work on. I can honestly say that it was the most exhausting part of doing this project yet it was also fun. Seeing so many different views, comments were entertaining. Mostly because the high school students who answered the survey questions worded their thoughts in so many creative ways. But again it showed me how hard it is to analyze data for a research. I don't how long we spent on Zoom but I know that is part of my life I will miss forever because it was the major part of my university life. In the end we talked about how we would make t

Final Week Of Training

 Hello my lovely readers and visitors. We have arrived the final part of our training. After about 12 weeks, we are here in the end. Before giving my general thoughts and feelings about this amazing project, I want to talk about what we did this week and what we will be doing in the next 2 days. During the weekdays we had already decided the materials and features we wanted on our website /project. We finalized our writings for each section/page and created tools, videos. We had few meetings both during the weekdays and the weekend. I cannot lie, even though the process was stressful I had the most fun on our Zoom meetings. On Sunday, we decided few more details on our website and added our texts and other tools. On Monday we worked on the design details, the colours, the theme and basically every other detail. We talked about the presentation and how we would present each part/page. We only have one thing to do which is analyzing the survey. We left that part for tomorrow to work on i

11th Week

 Hello, everyone. This past week was more efficient than the ones before. Firstly while waiting for my friends' finals to end I read more articles about our project topic. I took notes and shared them with my friends. LAter this week we talked about adding new materials into our project such as survey. We talked about the details and everything. Our work as this week made it obvious is going good. We only have few things to work. See you on next and the final week 

10th Week

 Hello. I wish I could post a blog entry that is longer and more detailed but this week was nothing like I expected. I'm sorry to be not active on the process. This week I only revised the introduction I wrote and looked through the articles I bookmarked. Yet it was not scanning, I can say I did some skimming. We didn't have any meetings but as we talked before  we will focus on the project more after the finals end. This is all for this week. 

9th Week

 Hello everyone. Today I want to talk about the process of the project we're working on as usual. This week was rather bussier as we have our final exams and assignments. Unfortunately I couldn't do anything proper this week. I only bookmarked some articles on Mendeley. I couldn't even read them but I believe I will have read by the end of the week. However, we didn't waste our time. We had a Zoom meeting with our teacher. We asked some of the questions we had in mind. We mentioned some of the problems we faced while searching our topic. In the end the meeting was really informative and pur teacher helped us get some ideas on how to move forward with the project.  After the meeting we also discussed some points as a group. We decided to create opportunities from  the struggles we were facing. Now I have a clearer mind about everything we do. 

8th Week of Training

 Hi, today I will be talking about an another week of our project's process. This week I was assigned to search and create a text about the good examples of synchronous online distance learning tools.However, we did not have any online meetings because of my friends' busy schedule so I did my part on my own. As far as we have talked, we will, of course, contribute to each other's parts and fix the text if there are any issues.  I did my search mostly on Zoom and Microsoft Teams and their use/benefits to distance learning. I found some articles about the mentioned tools yet I don't think what I found is enough since I couldn't do a proper, wider search because of my final assignments.  I highlighted everything I found important on the articles and divided them into sub-sets to create the whole text. What I failed to do was creating the text. There are two major reasons of my failure. First, I couldn't bring the information together in a good structured way. Secon

7th Week of Training

  Hello, as I mentioned on my previous post I will be informing you about the things we did this week as a group. Firstly, we decided on a day and a time to have a Zoom meeting. In our meeting, we firstly designed the task we were asked ( I attached the screenshot of the task design on my previous post.). We came up with some ideas and figure out what kind of a task would be easier yet more entertaining and informative. Then we worked on our outline for our project. Previous weeks, we decided on our topic which is Synchronous Online Distance Learning and decided on who would do which part when. So, this week only thing we had to do was creating subsets and deciding the content of each title. Everyone shared their ideas about titles and we created such a detailed, informative outline. (at least for us) Even though we wre tired, we had fun while discussing.  Later this week, I started working on my part which was introduction. I made some searches about synchronous and asynchronous learn
