  Artificial Intelligence Hello dear reader, I hope everything is okay! The purpose of our task this week is to examine artificial intelligence from both a student and teacher perspective. It's hard not to get excited when it comes to artificial intelligence!🥳 With your permission, I would like to tell you about the details of my homework. Our task is to chat and interview a character we choose using Magic School, an artificial intelligence tool. And I chatted with my favorite artist Vincent Van Gogh! Isn't it great?💖   AI from student perspective I used AI as a student in the first part of my work and had a very enjoyable interview. I consider Magic School's Character Chatbot as an activity that students, regardless of age, will definitely have fun with. Dear reader, I definitely think that the use of AI is a very valuable educational tool for students, when it is applied in an educational way, as in this assignment. I believe that it is a wonderful language support tool

  Let's talk collaborative writing and film review! Hi there, dear reader! I hope everything is okey because I am here with a wonderful topic today, enjoy reading! 💥The subject of our technology lesson this week was collaborative writing and the task I chose was to make a film review as a pair work using Google Docs. And I think is was the best assignment I've ever received. What do you think, dear reader? In my opinion, if there is something better than watching movies, it is reading and talking about movies.🎥 What was the film review process like? My friend Selen and I worked together on this assignment, and can you belive it, dear reader, our work started by watching a movie together (of course, we didn't forget to take our notes while watching)! 😎Then, we shared the notes we took using Google Docs and the points we want to talk about in our writing. The rest is to have a long chat about the movie and edit our writing using the same website. Google Docs is definitely

  Digital Storytelling Long time no see, my dear reader. I hope you are doing well!💪 Today we are talking about using digital storytelling for education, which is a great way to make the most of all the creative elements in 21st century education. We choose one of the options our instructor gave us and created a video as pair work. As always, I'll embed it at the end of my writing, hoping you, dear reader, will like it!🙏 How did we decide on our project? The project we've selected involves creating a Public Service Announcement (PSA), which are informative messages intended for the public and not for commercial purposes. The reason for me to choose this project is that I really enjoy watching PSA videos and having ideas that can appeal to our own community. That's why we didn't have any difficulty in choosing our topic; we had a short discussion and quickly agreed.😎 The process of preparing our video The PSA that my dear friend Selen and I prepared was both a lot fun

  What is this week's fantastic task? Welcome back, my dear reader! Once again, I present to you a very current topic, which is podcasting🎉 Our instructor gave us a task and asked us to choose one of different topics to prepare a podcast. The topic I choose is "60 second idea to improve the world", which is a podcast series broadcasted on BBC. Even though I love the topic I choose, preparing it wasn't as easy as I thought😱 I'm recording a podcast for the first time! The challenging part of the topic I choose was not finding an idea to change the world but rather trying to explain it in just 60 seconds. After all, dear reader, small yet world-changing ideas often comes our minds, don't they? But to explain this brilliant idea in just 60 seconds, what a challenge!💪  To record my first podcast, I used Podomatic (https://www.podomatic.com/) , which has an extremely simple website and is free. In the background, I choose a copyright-free music from YouTube. Alth

Let's talk about something creative, shall we?🎉   Hello dear reader, welcome back! Today's topic is infographics, which we discussed in my Instructional Technologies and Material Design course. I am still unfamiliar with this term, but it has already caught my interest, and I have already made my first attempt. I will share it at the end of the text so please keep reading 😎 Our instructor gave us some terms related to ethical and legal issues in technology use and asked us to prepare an infographic on the term of our choice. At the beginning, I was a bit scared of this task, but as I started doing it, I realized it wasn't difficult at all. Hey there, dear reader, I'll walk you through the whole process, maybe you'll want to try out this teaching technique too, who knows? 💪 I think creating infographics is a great way to teach some info to the audience we're adressing. It is especially useful for people like me who have a strong visual memory. While I am sure

  21st Century Learning: In today's digital age, everything is about technology. Technology changes all of the sectors, including education and everything else. As a student in this digital age and someone who has just started teaching, I think I have a lot to say about education in the 21st century. In my opinion, education needs to adapt to changing times, just like every other aspect of society. Over my 15–16 years as a student, I've witnessed a significant transformation from traditional tools like books and notebooks to more modern technologies such as tablets, phones, and even artificial intelligence, which has gained widespread popularity in recent years. As a result, it's crucial to effectively integrate technology into the classroom to enhance the learning journey. What about language learning? I believe a crucial part of learning a language is getting lots of exposure to it and creating an environment where you can speak it. Just think about being a language stude
