Storybird: Picture Books



  Hello everyone!

  Today we will talk about birds who can tell stories.



                                    
 Storybird is a website in which you can create stories and publish them online. There are teachers and authors who can comment and evaluate your story. You can also add some art elements to your story. There are illustrations of professional artists that you can use in your story and make it a picture book. You can also create your own illustrations.
 
  In storybird, there is a section called "writing challenge". In this section, you can choose classes and learn about how to write a picture book and which elements you should give attention to, etc. You can also get educated from this platform and this education made with picture books too! It is fun to learn through picture books!





    In language teaching, storybird can be a very effective material to use. Students will love the idea of an online picture book. In this way, you can increase the reading rate in your class. Plus, you can create your book for your students and use a fun way to teach them!

   I, as a teacher candidate, had a really good time on storybook. I am not able to write a story, yet. I think you should give an eye to storybird and have some fun with picture books :)

TPACK&SAMR in Language Teaching

Resim
Hello!!! Today I would like to say a few words about two terms called TPACK and SAMR. These two frameworks emerged in language teaching because lately technology is a big part of life. To ease and create a better class environment, these two frameworks are needed.      Let's learn what is TPACK is first. This framework is created by  Punya Mishra and Matthew J. Koehler. TPACK focuses on technological knowledge(TK), pedagogical knowledge(PK), and content knowledge(CK). It offers an efficient approach to problems that teachers are facing in implementing technology to classes. According to TPACK framework, some specific technological tools like software, application, etc. are very important to show and guide students with a better understanding of the subject.        In TPACK framework, three types of knowledge- technological knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge- are combined in various different ways. As you can see in the picture...

UNESCO Loved It: Thinglink

Resim
Hello everybody!   Today's topic is a platform that is rewarded by UNESCO for   ICT in Education Prize. It is called Thinglink.   Thinglink is a platform that enables users to create interactive images and videos. It also offers VR and 360 degrees images.     It is very easy to understand the process of creating an interactive image or video because when you sign in to the website, it shows you a tutorial video. After that, you can see a bunch of inspiring projects to get help from.      In a classroom environment, thinglink will be very helpful to create new projects for students. Creating interactive presentations can be beneficial for students. They can experience Thinglink and learn more effectively. They can also interact with each other while working in groups and create an interactive image. With the 360 degrees feature, students can experience a unique learning way.

Animoto!

Resim
Hello everyone!! Today I am going to talk about how we can use animation in language teaching!!      Using technological tools in education is very effective I already said that in my earlier posts. Today I am using an animation maker called Animoto to my imaginary students to practice "introducing yourself".    I created an animation in animoto to create an example for my students. In this animation, I introduce myself. I tell my name, where I come from, how old I am, and which school I study.  I use the specific patterns from "introducing myself" like present simple tense. In this way, they learn how to introduce themselves in a simple way. Also, they can create one to see what they have learned.  You can reach my animation from here :)
