Today, I will be introducing the website/app called "quizlet". Quizlet is an app where you cab either make or use tools that lets you study anything you want. Flascards, play, test, writing and more are part of quizlet. Let's get started. I signed up as a teacher. Then, click the create a new study option. When you select create, you will see this page. In this page you will be making flashcards on whatever you want to teach. I chose colours to teach. I put the title and the description. Then I started making the flashcards. As you can see, I wrote the turkish name on one side of the card and english on the other. To make it more interesting, I also uploded pictures of the colours. In total I made 5 flashcards about colour.   I mentioned that quizlet also makes test, play, write, spell activities. Here is those activities. As a student, you have to see the flashcards first. This is how they look.    After seeing/memorizing the flascards, "...

Have you ever heard about "Duolingo". It is an app to teach language in the easiest way. Imagine being on a bus going to your home. You have 20 minutes to arrive. You are also learning a language. This app lets you practise in such a short time for free. Both as a teacher and a student, you can use or suggest this app. I want to show you every step on the app.  Welcome to Duolingo. Since I wanted to show you this app for Turkish students learning English. I created a new account. Firstly, you have to choose the target language, then your  mother tongue.  The third step is to choose your goal. There are 4 options. I chose the regular 10 minutes a day. Then you choose the path. I chose already know some english assuming that the students have basic knowledge.  On your main page, this is what you will see. Topics and your level for each topic. After finishing all the topics on the first stage you will be aable to...

Hi everyone!!! Ill be talking about the app called Seesaw on this post. Seesaw is an application for both students and teachers to use. Today was my first time using this app so I'll give you my 100% honest opinions. First you have to sign up and I did sign up as a teacher to give a better review. After the signing up process, you are ready to have a class, activity. As you can see you have to the grade of your students then you can post student work or an activity. I tried my first activity on the app. To be honest, it was hard until i figure out the links and attachments. To assign an activity you see this page and all you have to do is type your instructions for the assignment then add pictures, voices or links about the assignment.  As you can see I left a picture for students to edit as I also ask them to add photos and a voice record to tell the colours of the items around them. I don't know if this is the best activity but I believe I tried my best and then I...

 Today I want to talk about an application that allows communication, collaboration and coaching. It's called EDMODO. Edmodo is an application in which you can join a class with your classmates using codes for each class. It may seem complicated at first but once you start using it, you'll realize it's not complicated. First you have to sign up as a teacher, student or a parent. Then you have to give your personal informantion e.g which university you're studying at. After this process, you'll this page; which shows your groups and classes. Once you have a code, you should click the three dots on the right and it will say join a class. All you have to do is write the code there; you'll see the folders that are shared from your teachers and you'll be able to see other participants as well. If you are the teacher you can use this app to share assignments, your materials used in the lesson and more. Your students will have the access. Another incr...

Hello everyone welcome back. Today's post is about my attempt to make an animation. As a teacher you have to make your lessons entertaining for students and there are hundreds ways to make it happen. You can use videos, games, slides, podcasts, apps and animations. This attempt was a failure for me but i still wanted to share it for you so that you can also make a use of this app. It's called Toontastic. You can create your own scenes or use the ones that are given by the app. You can make your own person ( ngl it's really fun). Then you can use everything to teach what you have in mind. Let's take a look into mine. It's not the best but i promise it's really helpful. I made a scene in a school where students have a knowledge about fruits/vegetables and how to describe objects. So the teacher introduces two fruits/vegetables at every scene and asks students to describe them. With this animation i wanted to make students learn about fruits and vegetables in a f...
