21 st CENTURY LEARNING

-
Hello my lovely subscribers,
This term we started to take Educational Technologies course. Before this term, I didn't even think that we ,students, would be so active in learning to create our personal blogs and become in the center of education. I'm happy to express my opinions easily on topics studied in class.

Today, I am going to talk of what 21st Century Learing is, why it is important, what 21 st century learning skills are and et cetera.

 Everything is changing day by day with technology. And we have to move with the times especially when it comes to education . Our teachers in primary school used to use black board, chalk 10 years ago but now almost all of them use smart boards. They should teach with technology because their students deserve to  get high technology education.

  What is the framework for 21st Century Learning?

  What are the skills?

we can say that there are three main sections .

One of them is Learning and Innovation Skills. Thanks to Learning and Innovation skills, learners start to create  new ideas,methods,or inventions by using a strategy named 4Cs. 4Cs is the short form of Creativity , Critical Thinking, Communication and Collaboration.

Second one is Information, Media and Technology Skills. They include: Information Literacy ,Media Literacy and ICT (Information, Communications and Technology) Literacy . These skills are important. Due to the fact that  there are not always right informations on the net, we should have ability to distinguish for having true information.



And the last one is Life And Career Skills . In today's world just academic knowledge is not enough for working in a good job . There is a competition in business world that 's why we need some skills such as flexibility , adaptability, initiative, self-direction, social and cross-cultural skills,productivity,accountability,leadership,responsibility ...

In our second lesson , all of us created our own word clouds consisting of words linked to 21st century learning. I did mine in WordArt . I chose this shape so as to highlight the importance of 21st century learnig.It is important as much as our forests,waters to live in a better world.

                 and this is my word cloud  




That's all for now .
 See you soon in my next post

 Hello everyone, how is it going? I hope everything is okay. Today, I will talk about Augmented Reality. In today's world, we can't live without technology. It is everywhere. It should be everywhere.  During the pandemic days, all of us are at home. Aren't we bored? Yes, definetely. So, what about going to France? No, we don't need to go to France by plane. France can come to our homes thanks to the Augmented Reality. But how? The term "Augmented Reality" means "augment your reality" by combining the physical world with computer-generated virtual elements. So, through our smartphones cameras we can get the digital information of the real world. For instance, we can view the 3D model of Eiffel Tower. We can have the tower at home by using different applications such as ARize. What about benefiting from Augmented Reality in English language classes? Isn't it a great idea? It is. Because; It is fun. It is student-centered. It is productive. It incre

BYE BYE EVERYONE

Hello everyone, How are you? If you ask me, I am a little bit tired and sad. The reason why I am sad is because this is the last post I share on my blog. Yes, we have literally come to the end of the spring semester. This means it is the end of my third year as an Elt student at Marmara University. Next year, I will be a pre-service teacher that's why I am excited these days. When it comes to the reason why I am tired, I am tired because I am in my final week. I must admit that this year was too tough for me and my friends. Is the third year the most difficult year at university? I guess so. This blog is very precious for me. Because for the last two years, I have been writing in each week. It is like a diary of my university life and of my two different courses. I took Educational course last year and this term I took Material Design. Both of the courses enlightened me about the importance of the technology in EFL/ESL classes. I learned so many things. I appreciate my teacher for
