HELLO EVERYONE! Hello to all readers and to the people who visit my blog for the first time!  I am Sümeyye, an English pre-service teacher. It's been a long time since I last posted anything. Welcome back to my blog! The purpose of creating this blog was the Educational Technologies course I took the last term. I shared the tasks I made on my blog about what a teacher needs for being an up-dated and skilled teacher in the 21st century . Such as; infographics podcasts, and so on. In the second semester, I decided to take the Material Design course. Looking at this subject from the teacher's view would help me be a skilled teacher. For this reason, I will dedicate this blog to the Material Design tasks. As I mentioned above, in my new posts, you will find tasks that will help students' language learning by using various technological tools in line with the lacks, necessities, and wants of the students. See you in my next post!
