Plans

Although I have neglected my blog recently, I have some good news to share!

As I have already mentioned in my MA reflections blog, I could finish my article on the relation between my wiki use and motivation levels of my students and my proposal for a local ELT conference is accepted. I am going to do a concurrent session in the conference next Saturday. I have already prepared my draft but I need to go over some details in order to engage the audience.

After I finish it, I am planning to post it to slideshare and share it with technology enthusiasts.

Wish me luck:)

Digital Storytelling week 4-My first story using movie maker

Hi all!
Here is my first mini digital story. I hope to be more creative after mastering moviemaker.

EVO-2009 -Digitalstorytelling -Week 1

Hi again after a long time!

I am well aware that I am neglecting my blog a lot as the number of my responsibilities are increasing. However,I am really happy to push myself more in order to achieve my goals and come up with new ideas thanks to interaction with colleagues.

EVO 2009 started on Sunday.I am really excited about the event as EVO 2009 is different from other EVO events as I am co-moderating a session on digital storytelling with one of my Turkish colleagues Sedat Akayoğlu. Actually I had co-moderated a week last year in tips and tricks workshop with another colleague, Vanessa Vaile but it took only a week. However,I am going to moderate the session for six weeks so it requires more work and responsibilities apart from the ones at the university and the master's program.

Our session began this weeek with introductions. Then the participants were asked to watch four videos and comment on them. Tonight we are going to share reflections in WIZIQ and meet synchronously with the participants. I am really excited to meet them for the first time synchronously and discover the dynamics of the group.

I am going to share my reflections more after the session in WIZIQ in my blog.

Let's keep interacting and sharing ;)

new plans&ideas

The end of the year and beginning of a new semester has led me to make new plans and put them into action both in my professional and academic life. I have just learned I will be teaching online and plan the online activities in the University I work for.There's a lot of work to do but not enough time to plan the activities. Therefore, we decided to use a certain coursebook which can be used online and give the ss a certain time to write and submit their tasks.We are going to make use of adobe connect,a tablet pc ,and the coursebook and assign students homework online.As the program is distance, I think setting up a blog or a wiki can help them to interact with their friends and can give them a chance to display their written or oral work to a wider audience.I started doing an M.A in TEFL at Bahcesehir University.I hope to make use of my online experience in the program and euqio myself with necessary information.I also decided to submit a proposal to EVO with my colleague Sedat working at Middle East Technical University.I hope all my plans work .
Wish me luck:)
