Hi!!!

After a long time , I shared my last project with you. Digital story is the most difficult assigment I have done for this course. I assume that my partner Hasan ÖZÇİFÇİ thinks so. Although it is exhaustive I can say  'Digital story' is very enjoyable project.  Also I believe that would be enjoyable for  language learner students . Just It really requires a lot of patience.

 Puzzly can be effective for students to learn vocabulary

HI

Creating Puzzle is task of this week and I used two types of  Puzzle on two topics for this this task. Really I found it beneficial for language learner. It was first time I have done and I did not encounter any problem through process. I think every teacher should apply especially on young learner to help improving their word knowledge. I'll definitely use it in the future

Hi everyone.

For task I chose 'The process of learning English vocabulary' from Zunal.com. Firstly I am gonna talk about the site itself. I think it is useful for students. But I think that WebQuest has  visual problems.  It might be said there is not any variation in type size color. There are few or no graphic elements. By the way I can say navigation is clear so pages can be found easily and student would know where to go next page. I really deeply analyzed the site and generally I was not faced any mechanic problem. I realised that WebQuest consist of 6 parts which are introduction, task, process, evaluation, conclusion, teacher page.
I give 6 points 

Introduction 
The introduction part of WebQuest describes improving word knowledge. I think that introduction part is clear and students can understand what is going on. This part is motivational enough.
I give 4 points

Task
Definitely the task part is related to learning English vocabulary. I think that student can improve their word knowledge by this way. I found it useful . Also task is doable and ongoing and elicits thinking that goes beyond comprehension it is enough to understand the information.
I give 10 points

Process
On the process page every step is clearly stated. The teacher explains step by step what to do. There are 3 basic steps to improve vocabulary knowledge but unfortunately these steps does not consist of  link. In this part, teacher explain everything briefly. I think that strategies and organisational tools in the process are sufficient for student. All activities are clearly related to take students from basic knowledge to higher thinking.
I give 12 points

Resources
All resources are related to topic. It can be clearly seen that resources are adequate and there is meaningful connection between all sources. Resources can help the students .
I give  8 points


Evaluation
I think scroring is clearly stated in this part.
I give  full point

Total Score :  46/50

First wiki experience

This was my first wiki experience I have ever done. By this way I got chance to talk about my favorite book first time. Then it was given as assigment I had thought it was diffucult but I noticed that is easy to do. I can not still decide whether it is efficient  for language learner but it might be said enjoyable :)  Here is my page

An interview about learning languages


Online recording software >>

 In this project I asked Gulay Kayfeci a few questions 

We needed to prepare for podcast on March 11 because of  less time. But It was a bit diffucult to find  free and silent place to do it.

It was good experience for us. Also we got a chance to listen to our speech and pronunciation. Listening to my recorded voice was weird.This was really very useful for learning my mistakes while reporting. Podcasting is the best way to improve your speaking skills. I got more confidence after this recording.

 I advise all my fellowers to practice it, according to my thoughts it will be helpful. You can try it in quiet and comfortable environment.
