HELLO EVERYONE! My post is about my experience with  wikiing that was given as a task in my educational technologies course. What Is a Wiki? Wiki is a website that every user can add or edit content. It comes from the Hawaii phrase wiki-wiki which means quick. But we shouldn’t forget that wiki is not a dependable source. Everyone from all around the world can add or edit the content hence there can be a lot of distorted information. My Experience With Wiki Our task was creating a wiki page about a book that we read and would recommend. First I signed up for PBworks after getting permission from the site.

But this time, I was the creator ! To grasp the idea, I listened to the examples of the   "60-second idea" podcasts.   After researching the topic, I began to record my speech. It was a delightful process, except that my throat started burning due to the constant re-recording, and it was quite stressful to make it exactly 60 seconds. I recommend using Vocaroo as it is free and effortless. That's how simple  it is! As a pre-service teacher, I will practice podcasting in my classes. Listening to it is beneficial...

ATTENTION! LEARNING UPDATE

  HELLO EVERYONE!   I hope you are doing good. My post is about    21st-century learning   and  how it is significant for education. I want you to imagine ten years from now.  What are you doing?  How do you study? What do you use while studying? Now imagine the same scenario today. I am sure it is quite different. The time passed so fast that everything evolved so quickly.  We live in a bustling world that has improvements simultaneously. Thus in this globalized world, teaching should be improved too according to digital native's needs. The term  digital native  describes a person who has grown up in the digital age (rather than having acquired familiarity with digital systems as an adult, as a  digital immigrant ) (Wikipedia, 2020) . Therefore what we should understand is 21st-century learning. What is 21st-century learning? 21st-century learning refers to improvements in student's skills while teaching them learning con...
