Compilation of the 21st Century Skills Training

-




 Hello again dear Elt Days readers. My final exams are over and I'm happy to have the time to read books and watch movies. I have been reading 'Böyle Söyledi Zerdüşt' for some time and I have finally finished it today. I'm planning to read 1984 by George Orwell next. What are you reading lately? I hope you spare time for reading :) 


 Today, I will tell you about the last meeting of our 21st Century Skills Training. After we had completed our websites, we met in a Zoom meeting with the rest of the participants, Melda Teacher and Dilek Teacher. I was so excited to present our website to my friends and teachers. Our group, Chamber of Mercury, started the presentation and I was both happy and proud to see that everyone loved our work. Hard work really pays off... Especially, the comments from Dilek Teacher means a lot to me because I admire her knowledge. 

 The other groups have also presented their websites, and all of them are perfect in their areas of interest. I felt so proud to see that each one of us will become excellent teachers one day. I will leave the links to their websites, please go and check their hard work. 


 This training means a lot to me because I usually don't attend school projects but I wanted to try this one and I'm glad to do so. I have learned so many different things. The timing for this project also was perfect because I get to see my friends in a classroom setting again and chat with them. Thanks to Covid(!) we couldn't talk like we used to with my classmates. 

It was a remarkable experience and it was all thanks to Melda Teacher, who made all of this happen. 

I look forward to having another meeting in a physical setting this time :)


This was all for today. See you next time. Till then take care :*

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,

Are you a Digital Native or an Immigrant?

   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
