     Hi, everybody! 

    This week our topic was podcasting, so I want to mention in podcasts.

    Podcasting is a way of developing your language learning skills. As an assignment, we created a podcast in which we told a story with my friend Tugay. In our podcast, we tried to make a horror story which was about a cursed piano.

    We presented the story as a narrator one by one. While creating it, firstly, we wrote a script and recorded the lines with our voices. Then we found sound effects to enrich our story. After that, I recorded some sounds on the piano, which we needed in our story. After the records and sounds were ready, we combined the sounds according to our script via a sound program.

    There were some parts that we struggled in. For example, some sound effects did not match our content, so we looked for other ones. The other part we struggled with was that we misunderstood the time indicator of the sound program, and assuming that we recorded 90 seconds, we had recorded a podcast that lasted for 180 seconds, which should have been 90 seconds according to our homework.  Thanks to our teacher’s understanding, we didn’t have to shorten its time.

    All the process was entertaining. In my opinion, we did good work. 

    I would probably give my students the same project because creating a podcast is beneficial for learning language skills. You expose that target language via podcast, either listening to it or creating it, which makes you feel confident in that language. Everyone should try this at least one time in their life.

     Here is our podcast if you want to listen.

WIKIS

     Hi everyone ,      This week we learned so much about wikis, as an assignment, we created a wiki of a film review. I choose not only an impressive but also frightening film to review because this film, Veronica, depends on the real paranormal incident whose details are shuddery. So it also makes you feel wondering while frightening.      This task is a good experience because until this task is given to us I’ve only heard the term of a wiki, but now I know how to write, edit and publish a wiki. It was easy to write a review of a film as a wikiing experience. I want to try another ways of wikiing.       I would probably use this task as an assignment for my future students because it helps their learning. For example, they can create dictionaries with their definitions to learn words of a target language.      Here is my wiki entry if you want to read:

LEARNING THROUGH WEBSITES

        Hi, again!        Our homework for this week was creating a KWL chart which is a great way to learn something new. This chart includes three parts: what you know, what you want to know, what you learned.       To create a KWL chart, firstly you should write your background information on a certain topic, then find questions about what you want to know about that topic and finally find the best answers by searching websites for these questions.      While trying to find your answers, you encounter so many websites. I think this is great because you learn so much new information while you look for certain knowledge.      Also, I think including your background information helps you a lot in this type of project because you can see how your learning process developed. Also, you can compare your findings and knowledge simultaneously.       We used Padlet to create a KWL char...

CREATING A MOVIE FROM A BOOK

       Hi, everyone!      We learned so much about digital storytelling this week. So this week’s task was creating a poster for a book that we’ve read. For this assignment, we need to create an online poster that includes pictures related to the setting and the plot of the book, movie stars representing the characters of the book, quotations from the book, and a tagline describing the movie, making the audience interested.      First, I chose a book by Victor Hugo, called ‘’The last day of a death row prisoner.’’ Then I found some pictures related to that book and added some quotations from the book. I preferred to write the book’s original name which is in French as a movie’s name.      I used an online tool called Canva by which you can create posters, templates, photo layouts, etc. It is easy to use a program you can easily add photos, lines to your poster. You can check this tool from here .      I woul...
