What is communication in 21st century for us ?

Hi Everyone!
This week, I will mention about a topic you are familiar with, but you are not aware of, too much. My topic is communication in 21st century. In fact,  all of us mostly are in communication with each other by means of telephones, tablets, and computers. In the days of old, communication was through face to face interaction. There was little technology in the environment. But, 21st century is age of technology. Now, we can't think that communication is without technology. Who can say that somebody doesn't need telephones and computers and s/he can maintain her/his life quite easily without them. They are significantly advanced. So, They are facilities for us. They can be able to do everything in one second. For example, we use skype, facebook or google talks for communicating with each other. Moreover, we reach a person who is thousands miles of away only in one second and we can meet face to face. There are no longer a home without computers or telephones.Let's think about education and technology. Many schools transform their education with technology. Even, students have tablets or computers. Teachers try to integrate their lessons with technology. For instance, teachers use videos for visuals aids, digital stories, glogsters, and more than this. For the simplest sample in social areas, by using forsquare or whatsapp, we check our places and we inform people.  There are a revolution in communication. Without saying a word, but only by writing, we can communicate with each other. We use it in every area of life.

 For this week, Our task is creating a glog in pairs. My pair is Ebru Buse GüDER. We benefit from this site. You can easily use it. I used it with connecting my facebook. Firstly, we decided what we would do. We found images, videos and we took audio records. Then, we created our glog! This is very enjoyable task. In future, I want my students to create glogs for many resasons such as preparing a party, celebrations, or even a topic like this. Not only do they search by using the site, but they also see many different ideas. I will have an opinion about their thoughts and tastes. It will develop their creativity. There are many reason for me to use the site. Moreover, I recommend everybody to use it.

 I hope you will like our glog. Goodbye :)

Our funniest task : Creating A Digital Story

Hi Everyone! This week for our task, we have had three options: Firstly, we can prepare a story of me and my friend. Secondly, we can demonstrate a process And finally, we can create a story with drawings and audio! We chose third option with my partners who are Nadire and Aysenur. Normally, This project is pairs work. But I couldn't find a friend. And so, I participated Nadire and Aysenur. I want you to tell about our process.  We  decided the setting and drew and painted pictures which is necessary for our story. All of us aren't good at drawing but we tried and we succeeded. Our drawings are simple ones. Moreover, we did this digital story for young learners. So, we didn't have any difficulties in drawings. After finishing our drawings, we started to record our video. Of course, we did mistakes while recording the story and we took records over and over. Finally, everything was okay. I think this task is the hardest and challenging one but the funniest one. Really, we enjoyed very much. We acted like a child and spoke so. We as an English teacher should use digital stories and we should give an opportunity to our students to create a digital story. Because, while they are playing, they will learn some words and forms. We enjoyed very much while preparing our task. I hope you will enjoy. 

 See you soon :)
