The End

       

              Hello everyone, I have come to the end of the Educational Technologies class with my dear teacher Mrs. Kurt. She taught us many things. She demonstrated us integrating technology into classes is something more than reflecting books to the board. Teaching us how to be better teachers, she has become a model for us. I initially thought we were going to learn basic tools like Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, etc. but the syllabus was quite different. It was my mistake to think like that in a world where there is not anything technology doesn’t touch. To be honest, as I don’t like doing homework, in some weeks I didn’t want to do it but when I started doing unexpectedly I enjoyed it. My favorite task was reviewing a film because I like watching films by analyzing and criticizing them. Normally I do it verbally but it was my first time reviewing a film in writing. While this review is my favorite task, creating a poster task is not fulfilling for me. Much as I enjoyed preparing a poster, the outcome was not what I actually wanted. So it was a disappointment to me. This class contributed me a lot and I am sure I will use the tools and websites that I learnt in my teaching life.

Vox-pop! Where do you see yourself in five years later?

In our vox-pop, ten people participated and we asked them where they see themselves in five years later? As all participants are university students, they have dreams and potential to make them real. It can be concluded from their statements that they want to be richer. Only few answered the question in terms of spirituality. This was predictable for us anyway. When we asked the question, some of them hesitated because they hadn’t thought about this before. However, some of them are so confident that I am sure they will be where they want to be. During the preparation phase, we had difficulties finding a topic. We wanted to find a question that everybody can answer. The participants answered questions willingly and maybe this question gave them some target. I c...

CREATING A POSTER

       My teacher asked me to create a movie poster based on the book I read. I chose Rainbow Six from Tom Clancy which is a techno-thriller novel. There are a few video games based on that book which I like to play so much but there is not any movie which has been filmed yet, I hope one day it will be filmed because some of the books in the series were filmed. As recommended, I used  postermywall  to create my imaginary movie poster. You don't need to be a graphic designer to make poster thanks to this website. It is really easy to create posters in this website. You can adjust almost every detail. It also very entartaining to create a poster, especially if you do it for your one of your favourite books. This task develops imagination so I find it very logical to give students such a task. As a similar task I can ask my students to create an album cover. This album should include their favourite songs and has an overall concept.

Owing to these features of infographics, it could be very effective to give places to them in course books.
