Glogster

Hello everyone!

This week we prepared an online poster using glogster. For this project I worked with Ehtiram Islamov. We were supposed to express our ideas about 21st century communication. Actually we are all familiar to this subject, because all of us are in it. Therefore, it wasn't a difficult project for us. We searched and chose a few images and a video about 21st century communication.

Creating a poster was fun. Reshaping images and making changes on them were enjoyable. So, we enjoyed this assignment.

Here is the poster that we created:

Play with words!

Hello! I am here with a simple project. I said simple, because it was really simple :)

I used wordle.net to create this assignment. I described what I think about digital storytelling with a few words. Each word that I chose says something about digital storytelling:

nice, fun and enjoyable: I created something different and it was nice. I prepared a video for my digital storytelling and I used photos, my own audio recording. It was the first time that I had done something like that and I really enjoyed it.

challenging: Organizing the photos, audio recording and the video was a real challenge.

helpful, useful and improving: Thanks to the digital storytelling assignment, I had a chance to listen to myself and correct my pronunciation.

creative: You should always be creative. In order to create something different and original, you should use your mind.

interesting: Something different!

I played with words and here it is:

Good friends!

Hello everyone! This week I chose the first option as my project: telling what it means to be good friends. Actually, I was supposed to do it last week, but because of the midterm exams I postponed it. 

I prepared a video in which there are some photos, music and audio recording of mine. I talked about being good friends and my own best friends.

I really enjoyed this project. Because talking about friendship is always nice. Also, I had a chance to listen to myself and see how I spoke. So, I will use it with my students in the future!

My timeline!

Hello everyone!

This week, we were supposed to choose one of the three assignments and prepare it. I chose preparing a timeline, for I thought it was the most enjoyable one. I chose the most important days of my life to show all of you!

Actually I didn't have any problem while preparing it, because it was easy enough. I really enjoyed it. I have nearly hundreds of photos. I looked at them and picked up a few of them to use in my project. It was like a time travel. I remembered the old good days and felt.. sorry I can't pick up the right word to describe the feeling that I had. But it was definetely good!

Indeed, I liked all the options. I found them useful. Because each of them requires some creativity. That's what we want in our classes in our teaching career. Therefore, in the future, I may use these projects with my students and have them enjoy!
