"21st Century Learning" WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

In Today's world, life goes on really fast. In order to catch up with life, we need to keep up with technology. Especially in learning and teaching, using a technology for a tool is a must. People can't learn efficently without technology in 21st century anymore.

In the past people used to learn mostly with books and teacher. In the classes teacher used to tell the subject, show the methods and expect students to do or learn it. That was a long and hard process because not every student was able to understand in classes, they needed to work more except from the school. Yet they had few sources and tools for studying. On the other hand teachers had really few ways to teach something. They were limited. They had to catch attention in the classes and make students interested in subject somehow because they used to lose connection with their students after school, there were no opportunity to stay in touch. If they can't reach them in the school, they don't have a second chance.

Now, in modern world, education improved with technology so much. Students started to show their skills and creativity easily. In the past students were stick to their teacher, it was teacher centered learning. Yet today, it is learner centered learning, teachers are only a guide for students, they only show it and wait for students to find ways to learn things or solve problems. There are computers, cell phones, tablets etc. everywhere. The most important thing, there is internet. On the internet, you can find every possible thing with one click. Also the internet helps students and teachers with their communication. When they are not together in school, they can still talk, communicate and study. Thanks to that, learners learn how to use technology, also get used to work in pairs and together.

As a future teacher, technology will help me inevitably. I will have lots of sources, ways, guides etc. nearby me. In my opinion, compared to past education, modern education is far more better because of the technology. In the 21st century, learning is really effective and efficent also really quick. I am sure mankind will improve technology more in the future, maybe in the 22nd century, we are going to say "21st century learning were slow and unefficent" like we say now for the past.

I TURNED THE PROJECT INTO TECHNOLOGY ENHANCED PROJECT!

              Today I will show you how I changed the way of using our coursebook in lesson. I had a one topic of teaching english in coursebook and I made it technologically enhanced homework for my students.              I had a weathers unit in my coursebook. There were a lot of exercises informations about it and lots of guides to teach it properly. But it wasn't enough for me. I wanted more to teach my students. I made what I learned from my course and I tried to make it technologically enhanced. I made some instructions to my students to follow. I found a subject related to weathers which is Global Warming. And I asked them to research about it and create a video about it using Powtoon. I will share the instruction handout here with you.             I think this kind of rotations traditional methods to modern methods really benefical for students. I recommend it every one of yo...

HERE'S A GOODBYE

This my goodbye post for this blog. I decided to start again this semester because of my new course material design in order to share posts about it and this my last post basically a goodbye post. Throughout this semester I created lots of things and I have a lot of things to do in my teachers years to teach my students. I have learned so much things this semester again like the other one but this semester has a unique thing by itself. Coronavirus as you guessed. Because of the coronavirus we have done our studies by using our laptops and mobile phones. Actually that was a strange experience that it has been really a good guide about how you can use technology on teaching. It was like related to our course Material Design. Maybe a preview of future education. I must say it would have been better if none of things had happened but this is life everything is possible. About the course I really learned so much things. It was really helpful. Not so much hard but also not so much easy t...

VOCABULARY TEACHING VIDEO!!!

Hello, today we are going to talk about my second flipped classroom work. You know that last time I preapared flipped classroom teaching video about grammar with my friend. Today I am going to show you one more but this one is about vocabulary. This week we prepared a teaching video for 4th grade students. In this video we explain words given on the video and teach it to students by narrating. In my opinion for early age students using visuals is really crucial. Young students can easily be distracted by other thing if you explain things in a boring way. Children needs to entertain while learning. Of course there are disadvantages like they can want more and see this as a game. We should arrange the balance. About preparation part of this video was really good. We did a good team work with my friend and we enjoyed while preparing this. It is easy to prepare such a video and helpful to your teaching part. We used Powtoon tool to prepare this video, there are other plenty tools on t...
