I hate goodbyes so I'll say let's take a break. I left behind a very busy period with a lot of homework, and that's why I'm very relieved. I've been really stressed lately. But still, the homework I enjoyed doing the most was definitely my blog posts. In general, I am very pleased with the current issues course. Let's continue with the details

Current issues course was above my expectations. It was a course that I thought would be difficult, but on the contrary, it was very enjoyable, creative and developmental. If I had to mention the difficulties of the course, one of them was the short assignment deadlines. It was a busy year, we did a lot of homework from many courses. Another difficulty was that it was in a group format. It is difficult to find multi-person groups and distribute tasks. 

The weakness of the course is that we cannot get full feedback. This situation occurred due to time constraints, and the lecturer tried to pay attention to this situation, but it was not enough for me in some assignments. Another weakness was that we did not have the opportunity to re-edit the assignment after feedback. 

I think that if these negativities are improved, the full benefit will be obtained from the course. My advice to students who will take this course is to get along with their groups, divide the work well, and get ideas from the blogs of upperclassmen.

The contributions of the course to me are: I have no interest in technology. Thanks to this course, I broke my prejudice against technology. I have personally seen the benefits of technology and will definitely use it in my classes in the future.

That's all from me. We'll see you again next term. Until then, take care xoxo.

 Ahoj!!! Today we are in the last post where I will share homework with you. Since it was our exam week, we could only do the homework on the last day, so it was the fastest homework we did LOL. Let's take a look at this quick assignment!

Our final assignment is about the use of AI and its integration into teaching. For this assignment, I collaborated with only Dilara.We experienced unpleasant things with our previous group and we thought it would be better for us to leave the group. 

Our topic is 'Describe your dream life by using future tense' in short then upload this description to the AI ​​tool and command it to create an image.. The reason we chose this topic was that it was trending on social media and we heard that everyone who tried it was very surprised and even touched. That's why we thought it would attract the attention of students since it is a current and trending topic. 

Our expectation from the students is that they first explain the visual prepared with AI using the future tense as an example, and then write their own dream lives in paragraph form and upload them to the AI ​​tool. In the last step, we expect students to give feedback to the AI ​​tool we use. We chose chatgpt, which is very common, as the AI ​​tool. 

Creating this project was a good simulation of our future teaching. It was an excellent opportunity to see how we can apply AI effectively in our classrooms.

You can access the material and lesson plan we have prepared here.

Bis später, alles Gute!!!

 Hello again! We are together for a new activity and yes it is late again…  My exam week is very close and I am nervous because of this but it relaxes me to enter my blog and share something with you. I really liked using blogs and I would like to develop it just like a social media account. Now let's come to today's topic.

 Today I will present you our Argumented reality (AR) teaching material. In short, AR is an interactive experience that combines the real world and computer-generated 3D content. Our task was to prepare a teaching material with AR. For this material, we chose a city from abroad and introduced its museums, the symbol of the city, in short, introducing the city. The city we chose was Paris, which is the dream of many people and is known for its romanticism. I had been there twice before and it really has a fascinating atmosphere. That's why we wanted to introduce this place.

 We prepared this material with my group friends Hayrunnisa Azbay, Eda Karaca and Meryem Dilara Demirkaynak. Our material includes a short introduction of the Notre Dome Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, Paris Fashion Week and of course the Eiffel Tower, which is a must. We also prepared an ASSURE model. The aim of our material is to create an environment where students feel like they are there even though they are not there, and to achieve this, we added a QR code to each introduction. When they scan the codes, a magnificent experience awaits them where they can see 360 degrees. They can turn it in any direction they want and examine the place being introduced. We had no difficulty in preparing this material, on the contrary, we enjoyed it very much. 

 It was a very enjoyable project both in terms of its subject and in terms of finding supporting references. I hope you enjoy reviewing it as much as we did. We have come to the end of the journey (for now) of making lessons more interesting and enjoyable with AR. Good luck to all of you, final exams are very close!
