This Is A Goodbye... (Final Post)

    Every thing has a start and an end. I started this blog on  9 November 2020 and I've had so much memories while making content for this blog. I want to talk about education and technology for the last time. Before I started this blog, I always knew that technology and education were great combination. I mean we live in 21st century and technology has affected everthing. However, what I didn't know was that education and technology is almost inseparable now. I get to learn with so many different tools that I didn't know existed. If I ever become a teacher, I will definitely use some of the tools to make my teaching better.  I now have the ability to contribute my teaching with technology thanks to this blog and this course. 

    Considering the tasks, I really enjoyed the magazine cover one because I was able to create what I had in mind and I was in control. I feel like homeworks shouldn't be just what the teacher commands instead, It should also be about getting the students attention by giving them freedom. I didn't really enjoy group projects because it was hard for me to find partners since I am a transfer student from another university so I don't know a lot of people.  Lastly I feel like since we are Elt studetns, we should know what is going on around world and keep up with the technology. That is why we are taking this course in the first place.

    Anyways, It was a really great and fun journey and I feel kinda sad to end this blog. I don't like goodbyes or sad endings so I'm just going to say a big GOODBYE!

How to Skateboard-DS


Hello everyone,
In today's task I was asked to prepare a digital story. I chose to teach skateboarding. I started skating 2 months ago and I wanted to share this experince. I used Movavi Video Editor because it was simple and easy to use. It is a great tool but you have to pay for it if you don't want a huge watermark on your video. Luckly my friend has the premium version so I was relieved.  I added transitions and the app's music. I feel like in the future some homeworks will include digital storytelling because learning editing can actually make a lot of money. Of course this is my first editing a video so the editing looks very amateur. Teaching kids how to edit by giving them homework will probably a stable homework in to the future.

Anyways here's the video, hope you enjoy!

Infographic

Today, I was asked to create an infographic. It was the hardest task so far. I had to get information about covid and then make it look appealing. Don't get me wrong I had fun but still it was hard. The hardest part was to make the template. I tried really hard but ended up using pre-made.I used "easel.ly" and just like the name, it was super easy. I think more and more people should start using infographics to teach.

Here is the infographic;





See you on the next post! :3
