We Even Stepped Into AR/VR World, Huh?

 Greetings, dearest folks! How's your life been going? 

For me, I think it's been a bit better than my last weeks. I managed to get small moments of rest and actually went out with my friends to rejuvenate. It felt refreshing to finally do such activities, but now it's time for me to return to the world of assignments.

For this week's homework, we worked on making AR/VR integrated materials. Me and my friends (a.k.a my fixed group) Melis, Elena and Berfin once again worked together and blended our powers together to handle this, and I believe we did such a good job again! This assignment felt easier to do, and finally I found myself having fun while making all these. Finding all these 3D objects and 360 videos and tours were sometimes hard, but the overall activity we made is engaging. 

I've learned so much while preparing this activity, such as how interactive and interesting an activity or worksheet actually can be with the help of such technologies. In the future, I think I might use such technologies, as VR and AR can enhance children's motivation and enable them to see things they may not be able to see in real life. Also, who wouldn't want to go to a museum from where you sit anyway? I think that's perfect for students, and very interesting!

I think that's all for now. I'd like to write more but I think I'm not in the mood for writing more and I think it's one of my worst writings so far through this semester. Time to relax a little.

See you and don't forget to drink water and take care! You can see our lesson plan, our worksheet and my friends' blogs!

Hey, I Just Made a Teaching Video!

 Greetings, dearest folks! How's your life been going? 

For me, I think I'm going through 1805th cycle of my torture, but I'm not changing majors yet, no worries. All of you are stuck with me until I graduate, so before I start talking about things that are completely unrelated and rant about things, let's dive into today's topic, shall we? 

Today, we're going to talk about the flipped classroom approach. It's an approach that suggests the classroom time is not sufficient for lectures, so the topic is given before the class time and the time is used for activities that mainly focus on high order thinking skills. It's a great opportunity to make more advanced activities with the students in the classroom, but I don't think this approach can be suitable for everyone. Now that we think about it, no approach can be suitable for everyone anyway, since everyone is different, but I think we still need to keep it in mind. 

Me and my dearest friends, Melis, Elena and Berfin worked together again, this time for our homework about the flipped approach. We were required to prepare a lesson plan and a video for high school preparatory class students, whose English is between A1-A2. Our topic was Present Simple Tense, which is an important topic despite seeming like a piece of candy to us. The process was smooth in my opinion, at least when it comes to communication between me and my group members. The whole assignment, however, made me lose another piece of my soul and I think I need a good sleep to rejuvenate. Despite that, I think we did a good job, so shout out to my dearest friends for their efforts! 

This was pretty much the summary of our process. You can find our lesson plan, our video's YouTube link and my friends’ blog pages down below! 

See you in a new post, and don't forget to drink water and take care!
