I Share Interesting Stuff

  We've come to the end of another term. Sometimes it was fun, sometimes stressful, but time passed by and here we are at the end of another term. I can say that we worked hard with my partner Merve Mızrak. Even though we struggled a lot, I believe that we could always find smart solutions. We worked on many different activities, most of which were my first time working on them. Despite their difficulties, I really enjoyed them. If any of my posts helped you, it means that I reached my aim. Who knows, maybe I will keep posting here one day - but until I do, bye and take care of yourself.

Hi everyone! Today, I will be talking about something interesting, which is called WebQuest. Firstly, I will define it,  "A WebQuest," according to Bernie Dodge, the originator of the WebQuest concept, "is an inquiry-oriented activity in which most or all of the information used by learners is drawn from the Web. WebQuests are designed to use learners' time well, to focus on  using  information rather than on looking for it, and to support learners' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation."  It enables us to give all the necessary information and resources step by step, without getting too complex for students to understand them. - My friend Merve Mızrak  and I came up with an example WebQuest, you can check it out by clicking here . We made our WebQuest technology-enhanced by requesting students to use online tools to create a short podcast and a poster. We requested them to introduce us a new culture (with its customs and traditions, ...

  Hi everyone! Today's topic is pretty interesting, which is Augmented Reality, also known as AR. It is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information. We created a project with my friend Merve Mızrak to incorporate it into education. Inıtially, we planned to use the app ARize, but it did not work. So, we decided to use some 360 ° YouTube videos along with some QR codes. We created worksheets in which we present to students some of the most iconic landmarks of Moscow, Russia, and a famous dish. We included those QR codes with video links. After they watch the videos and explore the landmarks, they are supposed to answer the given questions. You can find our handouts below: It was fun to create this activity, but we faced some problems, especially with ARize, as I stated before. I hope that you like our activity, see you in another post!
