Glogster

Hi everyone!

Creating a glog  was the homework of this week and it was the last technology integrated project. The process was easy and enjoyable. The only thing we had to was expressing  our thoughts about communication of 21st century and finding some data, using them in a creative way.

I worked with Seda Kaya for this project. We wanted to  spend much more time on this project. However, we are surrounded by lots of assignments, projects and presentations.
 Here is our glog. I hope you will like it.

Digital Storytelling

I worked together with Seda Kaya and Merve Kul for this project. We were supposed to create a story with drawings and audio. The name of our project is Three Little Girls.

Firstly I want to talk about it’s difficulties.This was a project which requires drawings, pictures. All of us aren’t good at drawing. So, this was the most difficult one for us and we spend most of our time on drawing.  Secondly, we had to find different pictures for the background to make it more colorful and remarkable. Merve’s little brother made our project easier with his coloring books. Now we owe him coloring books. :) 

Finally, the recording process is a hardship for us. We were only three and there was nobody to help us. We didn’t pose the camera with a right aspect. Also, we record every scenes more than 2 because we were trying to hide our arms, hands.

However, we had lots of fun while doing this project. It helped me  use my voice in a right way. It is a diffucult issue but we have to do. The whole process is beneficial to develop higher order thinking skill ( creating a story etc.)  I will use it in the future because I believe my students will find it enjoyable, too. 

Creating Comic Strips

This week, I  had 3 options for an assignment. We chose creating comic strips. I worked with Seda Kaya on this project.

The whole process was really enjoyable. While doing it, we had lots of fun. Besides having fun, we found it beneficial. At first, we had to choose an idiom and illustrate the use of an idiom in our story.While deciding which idiom we will use, we saw really interesting idioms and tried to guess their meanigs.This was the part I liked the most. After finishing this part, we created many stories.However, we weren’t sure which story would be more suitable for the idiom we chose. The reason of our uncertainty was that it was the first time we had used the idiom and wanted to give the accurate meaning. Briefly, creating a comic strips  was both practical and useful. I will use this in the future to catch the students’ attention and make them alert.

Here is our comic stript. I hope you will like it.
