My final blog post for the term :,(

-

     Hello there! Today, I am here to say goodbye with my last blog post of this term. It was an amazing term for me, actually. I really enjoyed all the tasks I have done throughout the term. In the 'current issues in teaching' course, we talked about new topics that arose in recent years. We mainly touched upon new technologies that were planned to be integrated with lessons. Overall, the course was beneficial for us to learn about current issues in the context of educational topics. The most challenging part for me about the course was a weekly assignment. When coinciding with my other assignments, sometimes it was hard for me to finish the task. Other than that, it was overall enjoyable. My favorite task was AR- and VR-integrated lesson material. I really enjoyed the task while I was designing the material sheet. I will definitely use AR and VR technology in the future in my classes. My least favorable task was generative AI tasks. Because it is not that easy to use chatbots in classroom settings since it may lead to misuse. I have no suggestions for the course since I think it was a complete lesson with necessary topics and discussions. For the students who will take this course next year, I would suggest they complete all the tasks carefully and try to keep up with the course. Because the topics discussed in this course are really important for next-generation students and teachers. The course really gave me specific information about integrating technology with our lessons. After the course, I think I learned enough to benefit from AI and similar tools in my future career. This is all for me; thank you for sharing your time with me.

Take care, See you!

An Advanced Teaching Technique: Flipped Classroom Approach

      Hello There! Today, I will be talking about an unusual teaching method that we covered in my last class. This uncommon method is the flipped classroom approach! Unlike the traditional classroom model where teachers lecture during class and students complete assignments at home, a flipped classroom offers a teaching context where students only come to class to complete their assignments with their teacher while watching their courses online wherever they want. Students first access interactive online content, videos, and readings provided by their teachers before diving deeper levels of their topics. The flipped classroom has many benefits and positive outcomes. Active engagement is one of the key benefits of flipped classrooms since the whole lesson time is dedicated to activities. Also, a flipped classroom offers a personalized learning environment as students can watch their lessons wherever they can and as much as they want.       So, in our a...

Blending Reality With The Real World in Teaching!?

 Hello there! Today, I will be talking about extraordinary teaching material. The material that I am talking about is augmented and virtual reality technology. Unlike the traditional teaching context in which it is difficult for students to engage with materials, this technology goes beyond the teaching limits! By using AR/VR technology, students can explore and examine new places, materials, objects, and even cities by themselves! It is an amazing feature for both students and teachers when it comes to the efficiency and quality of lessons. Using AR and VR in lessons has many benefits but has some disadvantages. When integrated with teaching materials, this technology makes lessons more engaging for students and allows students to explore places, and objects they have learned in the classroom. But for disadvantages, not all students can have a device that is connected to the internet. So this technology can only be implemented in certain classrooms for now. For our assignment, we ...

Using Generative AI Tools in Lessons

      Hello there! Today, I will introduce my last assignment for this term! In my last task, as a group, we created a worksheet that is integrated with generative AI tools. As you know AI tools are getting more and more common among students and teachers. Generative AI tools can be both beneficial and detrimental for us, depending on how we use them. Nowadays, it is very prevalent among students to use AI tools like ChatGPT for assignments and homework. This situation affects students' learning progress negatively. So, it is important to know how to use AI tools as a teacher, and also we have to inform our students about this topic. If we want to benefit from a generative AI tool in our lessons, we should clearly explain our topic and our aims to students. So, we designed a worksheet where students use generative AI tools to create a story based on 3 different genres. First, we introduced the tasks. Then, students completed the tasks according to the instructions by usin...
