ABOUT ME



HELLO DEAR READERS!


Welcome to my blog!


Let me introduce myself.


My name is Safiye Sümeyye Temiz. An ordinary college student from Turkey, trying to improve herself to be an accomplished pre-service teacher. I was born in 2000, and that makes me 20 years old for now.





I enjoy exploring new hobbies and improving myself to be more skilled at each of them. I tried a variety of hobbies in the past few years. For instance, drawing, playing the piano, martial arts, swimming, and so on. I had fun trying all of them and had the pleasure of improving myself. 

At the moment, I am learning to cook. As someone who enjoys traveling, eating local food from different cuisines, trying to make the dishes myself is very entertaining! Also, while pleasing your stomach it is a chance to experience the culture!






     


Currently, I am a student at Marmara University in English Language Teaching. In this blog, I will post assignments about education and technology that are given in the educational technology course.


I hope it will be beneficial for both you, readers, and me.



Thank you for reading my blog!

LANGUAGE AWARENESS TASK

HELLO EVERYONE! My post is about an approach to language teaching; Language Awareness. What Is Language Awareness? Language awareness is making students learn the language themselves by exploring the linguistic structure. They get conscious about their language acquisition. Thus, it enables students to use the language fluently in an authentic context. Students can work on linguistic data while trying to make sense of the language which is called data-driven learning.   What Is Data-Driven Learning? Data-driven learning is examining the language, not from traditional books but linguistic data, students as researchers. In our case, our students work with Corpus. Corpus is a collection of written texts from magazines, books, newspapers in a particular language. My friend Eda and I have prepared a language awareness task for our students while working on the 11th unit of the coursebook. As for Corpus, students will use Skell as it is appropriate for their age and proficiency levers. He

HELLO EVERYONE! My post will be about Padlet , how to create one, and its benefit in the education field. What is Padlet? Padlet is an application to create an online bulletin board that you can use to display information for any topic ( TeachersFirst Review - Padlet ) .  It is a personal board on a digital platform that consists of ideas, links, pictures, videos, or even drawings. Padlet lets collaborative work as there is an option that allows many users to contribute anonymously or with a name. Padlet is a reliable technological tool because of the owner of the board permits who will post on the board. Our task was creating a KWL chart on Padlet. As it was a group project, we formed a group of five. The first step was choosing the topic from the given subjects. We decided on bullying that concerns schools to prevent it as pre-service teachers. After signing up, my friend created a wall that we will post the KWL chart. KWL chart consists of three columns named what we know, want to k

TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED PROJECTS

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
