Try Using Voki in Your Classes

-

How is your day going friends ?
You will be reading about the app called Voki. It is an Education Technology  tool for the evolving 21st century classroom. Using Voki, teachers, educators and students can create amazing speaking characters using the power of their own spoken voice. Choose from hundreds of purchasable cartoons, animals, historical figures and world leaders just to name a few.
Students can use to introduce themselves if the class consists new students. Also a teacher can use this to introduce herself or himself. With this getting-to-know activity, students may approach the teacher with a good attitude and this makes students more attractive to the lesson.

 I have also created a character that introduces me. If you want, take a look at this

Update on 21st Century Skills Training

-
 Hello everyone, it has been so long since I last posted here, so I want to give you an update on how the project is going. We, as Chamber of Mercury, have reviewed the literature to learn what has been done on our topic, and what are the problems and how we can solve them. We had long hours of Zoom meetings, improving our outline and drawing a road-map.  Firstly, we shared related articles on Dropbox , and we have read each of them. Then, we arranged a Zoom meeting. We wanted to write each paper together but we have realized that it would be hard for everyone to be available at the same time, so we shared roles. I volunteered to be in charge of designing the website because I love dealing with details. Of course, I had more duties. Musa and I have written 'Introduction and Suggestions' parts together on endless Zoom meetings. Mehmet has written the 'Problems and Causes' part and Yeliz has written the 'Historical Background' part.     After the papers were done,

   How is it going, friends? I feel so recharged thanks to these sunny days and I am so ready to tell you about the last lesson of 21st Teacher Training.    At the first part of the lesson, we have discussed the terms "technophobe, digital native and digital immigrant" within our groups. Technophobe is the term used for someone who is afraid of new technologies. The reason for that kind of a phobia may be a bad experience that the person had online.  Most of us are born into a digital world where everything is done online, which makes us a digital native. However, older people who have learnt digital terms, tools and websites at older ages, which is called digital immigrants. They may be learnt about digital world because the professional life demands employees to be digital literate so that they can  improve their work, relations, and products.     Later on, we have discussed about digital problems that we may face with and what can be done to minimize them to some extent.

         Welcome again dear ELT Days followers. How is it going? I hope you are well and healthy. As for me, nothing has changed, finals have come and I'm studying right now. Today's post will be about the 21st Century Teacher Training project outline that I have told you about last week.       As Chamber of Mercury, we have arranged a zoom meeting to talk about the project outline. We have talked about the points that Melda Teacher said and discussed how we can improve our topic and we have decided to focus on 'Gender Inclusive Language Education'. We wanted our website to be a guideline for teachers to create a non-discriminative learning environment where every student is included in the class activities no matter how they prefer to perform their genders. Firstly, we will try to distinguish what is gender and sex, and then we will give background information about feminist and queer approaches. After the information part, we will state the problems and causes, then f
