About Me

 Hello everyone!
 I’m Tuba Karaca. I’m 19 years old and I was born in Tekirdağ. I came to Istanbul in 2018 to study at Marmara University and it seems like I’m going to live in this city for at least 3 years more. I’m studying at the Department of ELT (English Language Teaching) and it’s my second year. I’m trying to learn whatever I can about being a proper teacher who has the essential properties (I hope I can be one day).
 I love reading and learning about different topics. I can’t say that I'm an extravert person (I’m not totally shy actually but I can’t deny that I’m sometimes, it changes), I don’t prefer talking a lot in every area of my life but it doesn’t mean that here is one of them because I’m going to write an I can honestly say that I love writing more than speaking.
 I opened this blog to share my experiences and ideas about what we learn in the Educational Technologies course.  I’ll share what we learn at lessons, sometimes I’ll create something based on the topic and give you some advices.
 I’m so excited and we’ll see how it’ll go! I hope all enjoy in my blog. Thank you for your time.
 See you!

GOODBYE EVERYONE!

  Hello everyone🙋!   W e’re at the end of the term and I’m here with my last post.😭   When I heard about the course Educational Technologies at the beginning of the term, I thought that it would be so boring and challenging for me but I was wrong!    I was waiting for some classic topics about technology but I’ve learned and I’ve accomplished a lot of different and interesting things.   First of all, when our teacher said that we were going to create our own blog pages, I was worried.   I was afraid of technology. To be honest, I’m not that close to it but I don’t have any fear anymore because I’ve seen that I could do something   on this platform. I can create, design, share the things which are beneficial both for me as a student and for my future teaching career.   When I started to do something on my blog, I realized that every task became easier for me day by day. When I go back and look at my first post, I can realize the difference. I’ve became aware of the f

GREAT WAY FOR LEARNING : PODCASTING!

Image
Hello everyone🙋!   I hope you’re all well. Today, we’re going to talk about an interesting way that we can use in language classes: Podcasting🎤!   Podcast is digital audio file or series of files available on the Internet   which you can download and listen whenever and wherever you want. You can find lots of podcasts about different topics.   When I heard it in our Educational Technology class I felt anxious about creating one because I’d never heard of it before but it’s a great tool for both students and teachers. Students can create their own podcasts and listen to their own voices. They can listen to other people and improve both listening and speaking skills. Teachers can use it to integrate different topics with the class. They can want students to make some activities based on the podcast and bring their works to the class.   It was my assignment to create an idea to change the world and record it in 60 seconds as a podcast. The hardest thing was to find

WHAT IS 21ST CENTURY LEARNING?

Hello everyone🙋!    I hope you’re all good. Today,we’re going to talk about 21 st  century and learning.    As time goes on, everything changes in the world. We must be aware of the 21 st  century and it’s requirements in terms of education and technology.    We have four key words to help us:     To improve these skills and build up a new generation which is proper for this century ‘s requirements, our teaching strategies must be related to these skills.   In the 20 st  century, the methods were limited. The teachers were the centre of the class. So,the students weren’t active. How can we expect from the students to have these skills if we go on in the same ways?    In our classes, students should be more active and they should be the doers. We, teachers, should show the ways and guide them. We can use activities in the class and make them work together. By sharing their ideas with each other, they can learn how to think from different perspectives. If
