Review for Teachers | Nearpod

Nearpod is a platform where the teacher can share their powerpoint presentations or any materials before the class. So, when the teacher uses Nearpod to present a lesson, students can also follow the lesson as fast as the teacher allowed. They couldn't go ahead or miss what the teacher says. In the end, the teacher can take a quiz, open-ended questions and so on and the teacher is able to check their understanding immediately. 
   I personally find it a bit challenging to use. It is maybe because I had no chance to apply that in a classroom but as far as I watched videos on YouTube, some schools use Near Pod very actively and effectively and the feedback from students is always positive. They like to do some stuff on the computer and they get happy when their answers are shown up. It is an engaging and interactive tool but I think I couldn't manage to use it :')

ELT Z Website | Final Product of our Training Program

Image
     Hello dears! How have you been? I have great news for you. We had the last presentation meeting with all the groups and our instructors. As you know, I have been working at my dear instructor Melda YILMAZ's PhD research project, 21st century Skills Training and Project Based Learning , for 11 weeks. After our intensive 6-week theory-based training program, we had a 5-week practice and product creation section. In the first section, we worked on various skills and topics such as global language, critical thinking skills, digital literacy skills, information literacy skills and in the second section, we designed a website as a product. You can learn about the whole process by reading my previous blog posts. Today, I will briefly explain our website, also mention about my friends' products and I'd like to talk about my overall opinions about the program.     We created our website on ' English As a Global Language and Its Pedagogical Implications ' topic ...

21st century Skills Training Program Update

     Hi everybody! Hope you're all doing well. This is the last week of our project. We'll present our websites next week and happily, we are almost done with creating our content for the website.         We, the team ELT-Z (this is how we call ourselves hahaha), had several meetings with my teammates this week. We reviewed our research papers one last time and we figured out creating our conclusion and further suggestions part by using multimedia tools. We had a meeting which lasted an hour, we talked about the conclusions of our papers and suggested some ideas for our further recommendations. We love to share ideas since we get very creative ideas while discussing. Then, we divided the roles again: Bilge and Zeynep Ahsen were supposed to gather all the conclusions and create a video on Animoto  and share it on Youtube. As the website doesn't allow to share videos, we're going to share the link. Meanwhile, Öken and I were supposed to create furth...

Career Planning | Creating the perfect CV

Image
 Who plans your career? Is it you? Your family? Your teacher?  When do you start planning your career? Is it when you are a high school student or a college student? When does it end? When you are retired? We found answers for those questions in the second week of Yetkin Gençler . Let's look at those answers together! Career planning is an ongoing and never-ending process which is developing and changing over time. It starts at a very young age, when you start to think about your future in your childhood. So, you start planning your career when you are a school-age child. Yes, it's YOU planning it. Nobody else can plan it for you but they can only guide or assist you during the process. You keep planning it until you keep contributing to the society. The keys to career planning are: - your assets (competencies, knowledge, experience, network) - your aspirations (vision, goals) - market realities (what will the companies pay you for) You should be aware of your strengths and w...
