An Healthy Recipe: Protein Pudding!

-




Welcome back everyone! I am back with another post about our technology course. It was about time for us to create a video to enrich our digital literacy! This week we were assigned to create a video in groups of two or three, and I have once again paired up with my fellow friend Ahmet Alper Aydoğdu (feel free to visit his blog as well!). We made a video about a healthy, nutritious, and delicious pudding. If you are interested, please be sure to check out the video!

Design Process:

We were give three options to create a video, and we chose to record an procedural video. As for the subject, we went for creating a recipe video for a healthy pudding which is also suitable for athletes because both me and my pair are currently doing fitness as a hobby. It is an area that we are both interested and knowledgeable. Consequently, the design process was rather fun from recording to narrating and editing. I recorded the video which demonstrates the recipe and my pair narrated it. 

Recording:

It was the fun overall; however, I have experienced some difficulties regarding the camera angles and light conditions. As a result I have used my creativity and improvised in the given situation. Overall, I am content with the outcome.

Narration:

The narration was done by my friend. We again have used the tool called "vocaroo" because it offered the best sound quality among other voice recording applications. As a result of our previous experience with podcast recording, finding the environment to do the narration was rather easy.

Editing:

My pair and I have done the editing together. As we spend more and more time with digital literacies, editing became easier. Just like last time, we have used an app called "capcut" because of its accesability and simple user interface. 

Some Concluding Marks:

Overall I have enjoyed the process as I see myself enrich and advance my digital literacy library. As much as I love the work that we put forward, I also want to hear your opinions about our video and the recipe in general. Feel free to share your opinion in the comments section. Until next time!

-EA out.

A Corpus-based Lesson: Authentic Language Oppurtunity!

  Greetings everyone! I am back with another post. In our Current Issues in Teaching course this week, as groups, we were required to create a corpus-based worksheet as well as a lesson plan based on the ASSURE model, both of which I will explain later in this post. I grouped up with my friends Ahmet Alper Aydoğdu , Rabia Çimen , and Mihriban Çizme (feel free to check out their blogs as well!) for the completion of the assignment. At the end of this post you can see our lesson plan and worksheet! Design Process We were required to produce a lesson plan and a worksheet on corpus usage for our assignments. Both parts of the assignments were relatively easy as our instructions were clear, and we were also familiar with designing lesson plans because of our other classes in our department.  The Corpus: The first time I heard about this term was in my linguistics class back when I was a sophomore. A corpus is an extensive collection of language data obtained from newspapers, novel...

Greetings everyone, and welcome back to another post! This week, we were required to create a video material based on the flipped classroom approach for our Current Issues in Education course. You may ask: What is a flipped classroom? I will answer your question later in this post! But first, I want to discuss the assignment itself. We were required to be in pairs or groups, so once again, I paired up with  Ahmet Alper Aydoğdu (check out his blog as well!) to accomplish the given assignment. You can find our video material, as well as a short quiz parallel with the video, at the end of this post! The Design Process: After we were assigned, two choices were given; we either had to create a grammar-based video material, which was said to be done in groups, or a vocabulary-based video material to be done in pairs. Why did we choose the second option? We have chosen the second option because communication would be much easier. Moreover, it is also because we were interested in teachin...

  Greetings, everyone, and welcome back to another post! This week, we were required to create material that utilizes augmented reality for our Current Issues in Education course. Before discussing the design process, I want to discuss the assignment itself. We were required to be in groups, so once again, I grouped with Ahmet Alper Aydoğdu , Mihriban Çizme , and Rabia Çimen (check out their blogs as well!) to complete the assignment. You can find our AR-based material, as well as the ASSURE model lesson plan, at the end of this post! The Planning Process: After we were assigned, two choices were given; we either had to create an AR/VR-based material that focused on a global problem or a city with its landmarks. Why did we choose the second option? We chose the second option because we were interested in teaching different cultures and enhancing cultural enrichment. The Design Process: The design process went smoother than we had anticipated. The tool that we used to create our wo...
