My overview about this semester course

In terms of my opinion of technology's integration to education, my view hasn't changed at all, as I was already in favour of adapting technology into teaching. However, throughout the lessons we had in this mid term, I have not supported the fundamental of this view of mine, but also gained some other perspectives to enhance it. For example, for the "Creating a Digital Story" task, I discovered a new app with advice of my friend Selen, I discovered a new app for collaborative painting website, Magma, which enforced the collaboration of our work in our group for the given task as well as collaborative writing and reading. I also enjoyed my time drawing a lot, so I can consider that the digital story task was my favourite. Not only that, we changed the tone of our voice for the roleplay part as well and had many laughters during the voice recording part. As the least favourite part, I can say that it was the last one, AI interview part. I normally have a better app for that, named CharacterAI. The website we usedmy was more complicate to use, especially the exporting part. I could export the file, but the transcription file wouldnt open so I had to use google documents to embed the link on the blog. The task also required a lot of self revision and writing process more than the prior ones. Normally I wouldn't mind that much because I like writing. However, considering the fact that the task was given a few days before the final term exams, I barely had the time to prepare and complete it. My suggestion would be considering the busy times of the students and giving them the best space for the peak performance in order to provide the maximum receive rate from the course.

An interview with Napoleon Bonaparte

Resim
In this blog, I am going to be explaining my interview with Napoleon AI on the website Magischool AI.I chose Napoleon because he is a figure to be admired and underrated. Introduction:  In our interview with Napoleon Bonaparte, I took his military careerinto consideration from start until the end and the events he came across, including his reign as the French emperor and the wars he partook in.  Napoleon as an artillery commander:  The beginning of his military career: Napoleon, who would have been an Italian had he been born 10 days later and was enthusiastic about the art of wa, in the later stage of his life, became an artillary leader in the French army. Showing how much of a strategic genius and a competent user of artilleries, he gained a huge fame among his counterparts. Further though, with an upcoming event, things would escalate for the artillery commander Napoleon.  Napoleon during French Revolution:  Having been captivated by the widespread thoughts...

Final post about the mid-term of Current Issues in Teaching course.

 The strengths that this course have provided us with so far are that it introduces varieties of tools and activities related to the use of advanced technologies and teaching strategies we can implement in our upcoming classes when we become a teacher. But we lacked the actual materials mentioned in the course for practical use so this could be accounted as a weakness. Writing blogs was easy as always, but task and lesson plan preparations can be mentioned as more difficult. My favourite task was the AI Integrated teaching material. My least favourite one was the Flipped Classroom one as it took too much of our time. My suggestion for improvement would be instruction of beneficial websites more for the use of tasks like these. To the students who will take this course next year, I would tell them to be familiar with preparing lesson plans and websites like Canva or the use of AI like ChatGPT to assist them in their learning and task preparation. I think this will contribute us in t...

The Wistle

For the preparation of our video, we used the apps Magma, Capcut, Google Documents and Whatsapp. Through Magma, we were able to collaboratively do the drawing work, creating our canvas, characters, scenes and the sequence. We painted the components and created the fundamental for the video process, finishing the visual part of the video task. It is an app in which people can draw on the same canvas together online, the painting form of Google Documents, to be more specific. We used Capcut to create a video by ranging the pictures in the order of the story, to add the audio records and edit them into the video. We used Google Documents to compose the text form and the main structure of our story collaboratively. At the end of the story, we determined the main dialogues we would use and record audio for. And lastly, I, personally, used Whatsapp to record my audio and add them into the video edit. The main obstacles we have experienced were the painting and the time limit. Despite having ...
