What is Augmented Reality?

Hello everyone. 

  
       Almost 5 years ago, a new term introduced to us. A term that will be very close to our lives, now it is even in our phones. It is called Augmented Reality(AR).

       "Augmented reality is the blending of interactive digital elements – like dazzling visual overlays, buzzy haptic feedback, or other sensory projections – into our real-world environments." What is meant by that? Think about it. For example, you can see a chair when you look in front of you from your phone but in reality, there is no chair. That's AR.

       AR, like VR, almost everywhere in these days. There are tons of applications or websites that offer AR experience for phones, computers, or tablets. On the other hand, Apple phones or tablets have this feature inside them. You don't need another extra application. You can see a section just for AR on the Apple website.

 



     Augmented reality can be used in many sectors for sure but in education, it can be very effective. Like VR, you can see my post about VR by clicking right here, students educated in a class with AR have no limits in imagination.

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, they are; Technological Pedagogic

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.
