What if The WITCH Gifted Snow White a Telephone!?!

 Ahoy, Me Hearties! 







Let me tell you about the wild ride my buddies; Samet and Mustafa; and I had creating our own twist on the classic Snow White tale. So, we set a date to brainstorm story ideas, and I gotta say, it was a blast! We were bouncing ideas back and forth like crazy (we were not), and then it hit me – what if instead of a poisonous apple, the witch gave Snow White a telephone? Talk about a modern spin on a fairy tale! My PERFECT idea. Watch the video if you wanna hear the rest of the story!!



Once we settled on the idea, the real adventure began. We knew we wanted to bring our story to life visually, so we decided to give Pixton a shot. Now, let me tell ya, it wasn't all smooth sailing. We ran into a few bumps along the way, especially when it came to figuring out all the features. But hey, nothing worth doing is ever easy, right?


Despite the challenges, we powered through and got our story done. Sure, it might not be perfect, but we're proud of what we created together. Plus, we had a ton of fun in the process, and isn't that what storytelling is all about?


One thing that threw us for a loop was the sound issues we encountered. But you know what? We didn't let it stop us. We worked around it and focused on making our visuals pop. And in the end, I think it turned out pretty darn good.


So, if you're thinking about trying your hand at storytelling, don't let the bumps in the road scare you off. Embrace the challenges, get creative, and remember to have fun along the way. Who knows, you might just come up with the next big thing! Fair winds, everyone, and happy storytelling!!

   Ahoy, Me Hearties! Our ( Mustafa ,  Samet ,  Abdulhamid )  AI-integrated teaching material is finally ready, and it’s been a wild ride! We chose superheroes as our theme (because who doesn’t love them?) and used Canva to create engaging slides ( try Canva here )  with clear instructions and examples to guide students through the lesson.   Creating it wasn’t easy—finding the right balance between fun and educational content was a challenge. But incorporating AI for instant student feedback? Absolute genius! It adds a personalized touch and makes learning more interactive. You can check our material by clicking this:  Create Your Superhero and here is our lesson plan:  Assure Lesson Plan While the process was tough, I’m thrilled with the results. AI has so much potential in education, and this is just the beginning. What do you think? Fair winds!!

Corpus-Based Teaching Material (DO OR MAKE!!!!)

Image
  Ahoy, Me Hearties!  Let me tell you about a task we recently tackled that was as exciting as it was challenging. My crew of four; Mustafa , Samet , Abdülhamid , and of course me; created a corpus-based teaching material for 9th graders, all about the tricky duo: do vs. make. To make it even better, we built a detailed lesson plan based on the ASSURE model using our material. It was an adventure packed with learning, creativity, and a few bumps along the way. So, what’s inside this treasure chest of a teaching material? It’s a four-part journey:  Test Your Knowledge: A quick warm-up to check what students already know. Improve Your Knowledge with Corpus: Students dive into real-life language examples from a corpus to spot patterns. Discovery: This section encourages students to figure out the rules themselves by analyzing the corpus data. Practice: Exercises to apply and reinforce what they’ve learned. We designed the material using Canva for its visual appeal and clarit...

WE HAVE COME TO AN END??

  Ahoy, Me Hearties!  Ahoy, mateys! Before I embarked on this course, I was optimistic about bringing technology into English language teaching (ELT). I saw its potential, but I wasn't sure how it would actually work in the classroom. Well, let me tell you, my thoughts have evolved big time! Now, I'm all in, ready to embrace tech to boost learning outcomes. Throughout the course, I dove deep into the tech world through various tasks. Blogging was a fantastic way to reflect on my journey, helping me put my thoughts and observations into words. Creating infographics was a creative challenge that taught me how to present complex info visually, making it easier for students to grasp. Podcasts opened up the world of audio content creation, showing me the importance of listening skills in language learning. The "Story with a Twist" task unleashed my creativity and narrative skills, proving that storytelling can be a powerful teaching tool. Collaborative writing projects hig...
