Hello, dear people of our cruel world! Did you guys finally find time to check out this new post of mine? Now that's just nice!
"Why not make a story that is too riveting and humorous, and one that can make you realize how life actually works?"
It's been so long, hasn't it, fellas? But don't any of you worry now, because I got something to entertain and even stimulate some of you to try it yourself!
Hello, my dear fellows! Did you guys come back to check up on me, or did you accidentally click on my blog? Either way, you are stuck with me, and you are going to listen to me :). Now let me talk about the things I went through to publish this post and prepare an infographic from ashes.
We are now approaching an alien called the 21st century learning. Be quiet and don't make a sound; it is quite sensitive and the last of its kind. Listen to me and you will be fine.
21st century learning is a bit “French” for us, considering although we are involved in it, we do not fully realize what it is. From my point of view, we can define it as “Education in anytime, anywhere” considering the aspects of life learning has reached out to. Since it includes the term learning, the concept itself is not confined only to some domains of learning but the overall phenomenon. One of these domains is language teaching, and it is probably one of the quickest ones to adapt itself to the novel approaches the 21st century has brought. Considering the opportunities technology brings about, such as interactive quizzes, vocabulary puzzles, etc., the tenets of 21st century learning hold a crucial part in language teaching. I genuinely believe that, in accordance with what I previously mentioned, with the new generation being ever more engaged with the technological devices, it becomes rather obligatory for education practitioners to adopt such devices and make use of them during language teaching. Especially the kids’ interest in video games, for instance, and that it results in a rather persistent understanding of what they are engaged with, it is most likely to be the same if a program with such attributes is used while teaching a foreign language. To summarize, pen and paper became obsolete as technology advanced onwards as the years passed and the interest of learners (regardless of the age groups) shifted to more technology-based practices. By making use of such advancements or at least by following the recent ones, education can fully adapt itself to the current century, and we should pursue it!
Hello everyone and welcome to my blog page. It is a new experience for me to be engaged with people from wide array of audience in an environment such as Blogger and sharing my thoughts and experiences with them, so I am a bit nerveous but at the same time HAPPY and LUCKY to be able to experience such an opportunity. The reason behind my attempt to start a blog stems from Instructional Technologies and Materials Design course offered by Mustafa Hoca. According to the directives and also for the sake of us as the students, my posts will mostly be about education and its subtopics and also about my reflections regarding those topics. In my point of view, I saw this tasks as an opportunity to be more engaged in the online world and also a chance to share my ideas in a more relaxed environment (most of us don't like talking face to face, you all know it). Feel free to leave a comment and sit tight for more intellectual content.
