It Is Not A Goodbye, Just A Break!

Hi everyone!       As everything has an end, we come to the end of the term. This term was an amazing journey for me in terms  of having different experiences while integrating the English language with different web tools. to integrate them  I had to explore and search on so many things which I don't know much about. But at the end of each  difficulty, I achieved to do what I want to.       I cannot pass my dear partner Rıdvan Burak Öztürk because he helped me a lot that without him probably I  couldn't be as successful as I thought I am. Throughout the term, we had worked on various things which are  corpus use, flipped classroom, augmented reality (AR), and WebQuest. All had some difficulties and easiness  for us but taught us lots of things about teaching English effectively.       I told you about the materials that we have designed during the term, you can see all of them in my blog.

  Hello everyone!        This week I have worked on a different topic which attracts me a lot with my friend Rıdvan Burak Öztürk (you can click on his name and see his blog, he has excellent posts on his blog). When I saw the topic of the week which is augmented reality, I thought that it is such an interesting way of presenting a topic. This type of material design type enables you to put a long video onto a piece of paper with "QR codes" and its variations such as the application "ARIZE".         To show you what is augmented reality we chose the topic "Travelling to Russia". We have some worksheets which include particular QR codes for each. These worksheets are actually guidance for the Russia trip. They include three places to visit and one traditional and popular meal in the country. Each handout includes some questions and headlines and a QR code. Here is the link to the website which we used to convert youtube videos into Q...
