Youngsters using glogster

since the first time I heard the word "glogster" i've been pronouncing it like "glogsta". it has the feeling of "hipster" and "gangster". don't know. probably just some boredom and stress effects.
my life has been a mess recently, or let's say I made sure of it become a mess. I'll fix it though. soon..
my grades suck, my parents are unhappy and I am trying to move to a new apartment these days.  so my sincere apologies to all of my teachers on my low performance lately..
anyway.
glogster!
it's basically a poster. you can talk about a certain subject on a glogster, use links and videos. it's like creating a webpage all about just one tpic. but more like a poster..
so here is mine.
hope you'll like it.

thanks!

Digital Story Telling

Managing Classroom

SO. This post is not going to be a part of my portfolio but rather a help to all merciful souls out there. The reason I am getting this sentimental is the fact that our exam week begins monday and we ( as in my classmates and I) have no clue about anything whatsoever.
Below are given the presentations that have been used in our Classroom Management course. All presentations have been taken with owner permisson, as if it matters.

ARTICLE  1,2,3,4 & 5 

PS: Rukiye ve Elanur'un sunumu Case sunumudur, araya karışmış.



Enjoy.

Preparing a Website

hi there,
so this week's project was not preparing a website, but in fact a step of it. You see, when we do prepare a website for our learners as teachers, we should make it appealing and put some activities in it. And this week's project was preparing these activities.
Out of three options, I chose "Puzzle" activity. The reason for this culd be my increasing interest in young learners.
In this project I made a puzzle using this link our teacher provided us.

My first puzzle was about Fruits. ı thought this way might be fun and a way of teaching the written form of vocabulary. Besides, children love puzzles. : )

So, here is the first one: FRUITS

And the second one:

Questing Web, Conquering Education

Hello everybody,
I know I haven't written in a while. This is getting boring, I can see. I wanted to use this blog both as a portfolio for my Material and Tech Use course and for tips, ideas about education. But I guess I'm too lazy to do that.
Anyways, I was sick this past week, and I am not the best person to take care of herself either. So it was 'rough times' and I missed the class. What a joy.
As I collected all the data about this project from my friends, I knew it was going to be boring. Turns out, it wasn't that boring. Hallellujah once again.

So.. Webquest. As far as I understood, this is a great project for a student to work his/her creativity on and give a chance to do something about what she/he likes. The aim is to make a webquest page explaining "how to do" something basically. And our project was to evaluate one of these webquests with this rubrick.

Let's go.

I chose this webquest. Actually, there were more webquests (and probably better ones), but to be honest, I wanted to be done with it immediately. Finals are a week after and I am basically trembling. But I noted some good ones and will look at them.

My Evaluation For This Webquest;

• Overall Aesthetics:

 I think this is an important matter for any work in the world. Try to make it pretty folks, our eyes have seen enough. The page I'm evaluating had standard  aesthetics.

Overall Visual And Apparel

I would give 3 pts for this. It was nice and simple, clear, but not astonishing.

Navigation & Flow

The site had very clear navigation and it was easy-to-read. 4 pts.

Mechanical Aspects

There was nothing wrong technically. 2 pts.

• Introduction

Motivational Effectiveness of Introduction

It has a brief introduction, but maybe too brief.
"
This webquest aims to raise awareness about advertising techniques and use them to creat a shoes advertisement."

and that's almost it.  1 pt.

Cognitive Effectiveness of the Introduction

Since it was too short, my point for this section is 0.

• Task

Connection of Task to Standards

2 pts.

Cognitive Level of the Task

4 pts.

• Process

Clarity of Process

0 pt.

Scaffolding of Process

0 pt.

Richness of Process

0 pt.

• Resources

Relevance & Quantity of Resources

You say wiki, I say.. (nothing that rhymes)

Well hello again.

So tired and tense these days, but still care about laughing the most. School is driving me crazy, my mind is constantly on everywhere where it's not supposed to be and we can say I'm having difficulties about putting my life together. Oh, lazy me. And enough about me. Let's get going.

So in this post, I'm gonna talk about our new project assigned by our teacher. It's called "Wikiing". Or I hope it is, because frankly, I LOVE saying Wikiing. Like the name "Viking" pronounced in Turkish.

Basically, it is creating an informative wiki page online. Im more concerned about it's educational approach and at this point, I can say a few things about that subject too.

When you write a wiki page you have to:

• watch your language,
• be proper
• be neutral
• be accurate on information
• be well prepared
• be well organized.

These skills are every parents' and teachers' wet dream to make a student gain. Because these are essential in life and work. Otherwise we woudln't work so hard on those. Or would we?

So this is the page of my wiki page.


It was introducing our favorite book. In my case, there is no favorite book, there ARE favorite books, but I chose the first one I saw on my Goodreads Profile. Which happens to be Five Quarters of the Orange.

Thanks for checking my blog and projects out.
