FAREWELL EVERYONE

FAREWELL, EVERYONE! As everything comes to an end, we have completed this term, as well as the Material Design course, and I am writing a farewell. The material design course was a challenging yet rewarding experience.  Using a variety of technology tools, we created a variety of learning resources. I gained knowledge of students' talents, needs, skills, and language requirements while producing materials for them. It helped me in gaining a better grasp of how technology may be integrated into the material design in English language instruction. As a pre-service teacher, I learned to avoid using generic teaching materials and instead create resources that are tailored to the needs of the students.

HELLO EVERYONE! My post will be about creating a technology-enhanced project , the task, and how we made the project technology-enhanced. The Task Our task for this week was to develop a technology-enhanced project for students in the high school prep class. We redesigned and integrated technology into a non-technology-enhanced coursebook project. From the coursebook we are working on, we choose unit 20: Shopping. The project entails creating a poster about a famous bazaar in Turkey during the Ottoman era. Students will, however, create a digital poster as well as an information wall for our project! Students will visit a WebQuest that we designed, and they will complete their task following the steps in the process. Websites regarding bazaars in Turkey were recommended as a source of information. Canva will be used to create the poster, and  Padlet will be used to share information as to their information wall. We made sure to provide comprehensive guidance to students as they will

HELLO EVERYONE! My post is about integrating augmented reality in education , the task, process of designing activity, the technological tools, and the challenges of using augmented reality. What is Augmented Reality? Augmented reality is a method of perceiving digital items and videos in a three-dimensional environment and interacting with them in the real world. It is a way of enhancing reality. The Task Our task for this week was to make Augmented Reality Integrated Teaching Material for high school prep class students.  From the two options presented, we selected to develop an activity about exploring a city abroad. For this task, we were asked to choose a city abroad and introduce 2 or 3 landmarks, a museum, local food with 3D objects or 360 videos, and homework for students regarding their experience in the city.  We chose the magnificent city of Rome to introduce in our handouts. We used visuals from various sources to offer attractions such as The Pantheon, The Colosseum, Fonta
