QUIZLET

What is Quizlet?

Quizlet is an online flashcard application. The most beautiful aspect of the application is that it can be used not only for teaching but also for individual learning, except that many features are free. You can use the preset work sets or create a set yourself. You can make learning more permanent with the cards and games in the work sets.

When I was prep school, I met with this application. We have solved many various tests. Our teachers were giving homework from Quizlet and the lessons became more fun.

We can get feedback as soon as the tests are done. A scrumptious app to memorize words in particular.

FLIPGRID

Hello today I will introduce you to the Flipgrid app. As you know, thanks to Youtube, everyone started to take videos and share them on social media. People share places, food, make-up and much more on social media. So why not use it for educational purposes? Flipgrid is exactly what the students are looking for. It is a platform where they can shoot and watch videos.


Unfortunately, in Turkey too crowded classrooms and teachers to give feedback to each student's course impossible because the course of the maximum period of 40 minutes, unfortunately, not enough time. Therefore, the teacher will be able to follow the students individually and give feedback. This is a very useful and advantageous application for teachers and students. The new generation will love it.

In my first flipgrid video, I briefly talked about simple present tense. Have a good time.

STORYBIRD

     STORYBIRD

 It is a web platform that helps young writers who enjoy reading books and want to create their own books. It is a tool that makes book writing enjoyable and encourages users to increase their interest in this field.

I believe that Storybird will improve children's reading and writing skills. Maybe they can get bored if we are given a specific subject and ask them to write, but using their creativity along with the visuals, their storytelling motivates them and improves their ability to read and write. 

I told a very short story. The idea is to try to find solutions to problems because they cannot be solved unless we find solutions to problems. In this story, too, Lily has a problem and she finds a solution. If we want something to happen, we have to take action.

VIRTUAL REALITY

  Virtual reality has recently become a name that almost everyone can hear. Technically, the term virtual reality is used for computer-based 3-D environments where individuals feel the sense of being there. Users get involved in virtual environments through various peripherals (helmet display, etc.). From that moment on, the user is disconnected from reality and has the feeling of being in a completely virtual reality environment.

How Virtual Reality Can Improve Your English?

For example, you learn English and you want to work on your American accent. Instead of spending time and energy searching for Americans you can talk to, or searching for specific videos, blogs, or audiobooks that will teach you an American accent, you can go to America through virtual reality.

Virtual reality makes it possible without a plane ticket. If you want, you can visit the U.S. virtually! You may be part of a situation where all four sides are surrounded by American accents.

This method is one of the fastest and most effective ways of learning languages.

I want to tell you an application that you can use virtual reality in language learning. The name of this application is Virtual Speech. You will learn a new language at the same time as you get lost in virtual reality. Don't forget to watch the video.

AUGMENTED REALITY

Augmented Reality, or AR in short, is a kind of real-time, interactive experience created by combining the physical elements we perceive in the world around us with data from computer-based graphics, video, audio, GPS, etc. Augmented Reality, unlike Virtual Reality, does not involve the user in a computer-based virtual simulation in a way that detaches the user from reality, but enriches the existing reality. We can say that AR technologies started to gain recognition in the world with the emergence of PokemonGo application in 2016.

Augmented reality is also preferred in the industry. For example, after PokemonGo, Ikea released its own app. The name of the application is Ikea Place and thanks to this application you can predict whether the product will fit into your home.

and of course, augmented reality is also used in education. I can say that we really make our job easier, especially in language learning. For example,there is an application and the name is mondly. With this application you can learn foreign languages, this application is hosting many languages. In the meantime, the student concentrates more and the information that visuality is very effective becomes permanent.

VOKI

VOKI

Nowadays, we all know how boring students find doing classical assignments. What they need is to do more innovative assignments using technology. For example, the teacher can even tell a difficult topic by using technology and gamification. This makes the lessons more fun and students become more active in the lessons. Therefore, it is very important to use technology in the lessons. We should use technology instead of using traditional methods. We need to take advantage of the opportunities that technology creates for us.
What is Voki?
Voki is an application that allows you to create characters online and allow them to speak text you type. These characters can be human or animal or an object. For example, I chose a dog as a character. You can change the character selection completely optional. You can even make up your character, dress her up and make her speak on many different accents. With this application you can follow your student's development by giving assignments as a teacher. Very unusual application for both students and teachers. Lessons and assignments are much more fun now. I would recommend this app to everyone and all you have to do is create a new account at Voki. It's that easy.
