Online Courses

Hi again! Education is important and life long. Actually, we are all learning something in every second of our life. Since this is so crucial, i  enrolled a course at Udemy.

Udemy has so many topics which may interest you. After spend some time, i found mine! It was a electro guitar course. I really enjoyed it. I will upload some of the scenes and screen shots from Udemy and my course. After you finish your course, you achieve your finishing certificate! It is so motivating!  I do advise you to enroll a course that interests you. Here it is the some websites that you can enroll their courses even if you are so far from them:
Coursera
Edx
Udemy
Udacity

And you can graduate from University of London, or University of Michigan even if you live in Turkey (: Because all of them has collaboreted with some universities.
Enroll, study, and earn your certificate or degree!

This is my certificate -i earn it today (:-

Vidcast!

Hello everyone! I hope all of you OK since this pandemic (COVID-19) made us anxious /: Meanwhile, i made a vidcast while spending my time at home, for you!

Vidcasts so fruitful contents like podcast. You can reach majorities (: Wheter they live in the other country or not. But there is an advantage for vidcast! While podcast are just auidios, vidcasts are also visual contents.
My vidcast is about idioms and their definitions. I used an app called Voki which is a very useful app for us -teachers-
It is just 2 minutes and 2 parts. Enjoy it! Here it is the links below:

Podcast!

Hello! All of us know that podcasts are the new black. By using podcast we can reach major communities. Even if they are at the other side of the world (:  We know that education is not something pyhsical anymore. I mean online education notion is on top recently.

In addition, we can save time! We can enhance our productivity. For example, if you live in a big city, you probably spend so much time while commuting. However, thanks to educational podcast you can learn any topic while you are commuting.

Soooo, today i record a podcast for you :) It's about one of my favorite topic. The process of acquiring language. Link is in the below. Enjoy it!

Listen to me!

Gistory App

Hi again! Today we are going to take a look at an app called Gistory App. My teacher talked about this app and wanted to examine it. I did :) There are 3 content that are ready to use. And also you can create your own gistory! It is fantastic, isn't it? 

I said before there are three contents. Two of them are in story form. And one of them -kind of story form- teaches you a grammar topic.

                                                               A screen shot from Gistory App.

In story form you are the one who decide what it’s going to happen. It is decision-based story. It gives you a few options and it progresses according to your decisions.


                                                             A screen shot from Gistory App.

The story supported with videos. That’s a clever idea. Because it helps the listening comprehension. And it’s also -video- dynamic. So this helps visual learning.

                                                                    A screen shot from Gistory App.


In addition, there is highlighted words or sentences with their explanations. It’s very useful.
Since it’s highlighted, words might be more memorable for students.

( I couldn’t understand the Spanish  one. So I mentioned about the one with Around the World in 80 days)

Other content which especially teaches you grammar is so useful. Firstly it warms you up with a few questions, then it gives you a text and test your reading comprehension. It enhanced with pictures and photographs of course C:

I really like that app. It is enhanced with videos, pictures, and photographs. It offers you an enjoyable learning process. Of course with efficiency!


But, unfortunately, there is one thing that makes me sad. While I’m creating my gistory, it gives error. But that can be fixed. Even while you are reading this, maybe there is no problem with creating stage:) I will try to create my own gistory some time after (: If i can handle it, i will post it. Stay in touch with me and enjoy my blog!
