It’s been a few months that i got the fun of being on Blogger pages J Although it’s been a hard process to try to clear using it up first, i eventually got used to and i have begun to explore some really enjoyable and also educational pages in time. I began to follow some educational pages that interests me .And even..It doesnt take much of time at all! Actually while looking through those amazing pages, a question rised that How to follow all those of pages ?? And the amazing solution for it was RSS Feed. Let me explain that brillant program J


RSS Feed is a software that publish frequently updated information such as blog entries, news headlines, audio and videos depending on the websites you follow. Subscribing to the website RSS, removes the need to manually check the website for new content. Instead, your browser constantly monitors the site and informs you of any updates.


I use the sevice of RSS Feedreader of this browser. It is such a faciliating program that i easily follow the updates of the pages i follow on Blogger. I have even no need to log in my blogger page and waste so much time to look through the home page. I can easily see the updatings in my blog, choose whichever i interest and start to read or watch or listen to them. Here is a screenshot of my RSS Feedreader page.


You see that i follow many pages and groups.Many of them are based on teaching activities, language learning, some informations about school life and so on.And my favorite one is ‘’Teaching Channel’’ actually. I think it is an extremely fulfilling blog page. It shares so many videos, images and articles about teaching, teaching strategies, some suggestions all about the teaching and learning environment interviews with sophisticated teachers many and many things that educate and also entertain me. I definitely recommend it to both other teachers and also the blog users interested in educational informations.

Now, it's time to explore and create more blogs. Don' t forget to make it easy by using RSS Feed program ! :)

‘’This Morning..On The Boulder ..We Have a Very Special Guest : Aron Ralston!’’

Hello all.Do you know him? Yess Aron Ralston.I am sure he will excite you. But before being completely in his world would you like get some pieces of his advantures first?? Ready? Okay I have a super place to do it and while doing it to get some pleasure too! Come and explore the world of Aron Ralston on wiki pages! J

This week actually  we will talk about  Wiki pages and the project i prepared with the collaboration of my friend Merve Kuru. Before mentioning our collaborative project let’s talk about the wiki pages first.

Wiki is a web site that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove,edit and change some avaliable content,sometimes without a need for registration.It is started by one person and it is like having a publicly accessible word processing document available online,which anyone can edit.

This week we experienced this  web site with my co-worker . We’ve created a wiki page about ‘’127 Hours’’ film review. It mentions all about the life of  an advanturer Aron Ralston, which is a real life story.  Aron Ralston gets trapped in a boulder.The film shows the experiences he has while he is in that trouble. Now, i want to talk about how we worked with my friend to create this filmreview wiki page.

First of all we’ve used Wikispaces which is a wiki web site for our project. We’ve determined to create the review of 127 Hours. We had to do some researches,collect some informations about the film. After doing all of these we started to write it. Here is our filmreview page if you'd like to check.

It was really easy process to create a wiki page. We had almost no difficulty while doing it actually. There was  advantages of being a collaborative work.It was fun to prepare this project. To collaborate with my friend ...to discuss the film,exchange information,try  to make some effective explanations about the film and stuffs. It was really really fun.

And while working on this project i’ve  realized that wiki pages can be also a beneficial assignment in teaching. The key point of this task is collaboration actually. It is a totally different asaignment from  a basic writing task. By the help of this kind of assignment  you can provide your students not to be in a passive position but to communicate  try to organize and create with the help of collaborations.

As i mentioned before; a wiki  page is an accessible word processing document. You can use it as a tool for your students in the classroom and make them more interactive and creative learners by providing them the access of adding editing and changing an avaliable content in this kind of web site.I am sure they will enjoy it! 

Hey! By the way, click here to watch the trailer of the film 127 Hours. To get some pieces more J

PODCASTS: An Attractive Way To Make Them LOve ! :)

Have you had any "best story" in your life ? In your childhood?? A story that taught you much? Most probably. Here is a new way to create your a taughtful and super remindful own story for your learners. PODCASTING ! Let's explore it!

Podcast is a kind of programme that you can record your own podcast on a particular topic and you can listen or watch it whenever you want to. It can be on any topic and can consists of music or video. It can be used for many puposes. It can be also useful for the aim of teaching and learning! How?? Let me explain it by introducing the process we went through with my groupmate Merve Kuru. First of all we decided to create a podcast as a creative teaching technic in terms of providing second language learners an enjoying and also educative exercise. Our target group was young learners. We created a story and recorded it by using a podcast programme named Vocaroo. You can listen our podcast receording by clicking here.It is so an easy-to-used programme that we can certainly recommend it to you.

Now, i want to tell about our story that we've created and why we think that will be an instructive and also amusing practice for young learners. As i've mentioned before; the target group of our work is young learners as a second language learning. Our story includes many basic and also needed words for the young learners. At the same time;with my fellow worker, we tried to pronounce these words clearly to understand as much as possible. That will help the learners not to have trouble while listening and also to be able to get pleasure of the task.On the other hand our podcast includes some notifier sounds and and intonations that related to the vocabularies passing in the story that will attract the learners notice and make them understand the story even when they don't know some specific words. These sound effects and intonations will also help the learners to get pleasure.

As well as it is an enjoyable and certainly an educative tool there are some difficulties to create that kind of task actually. It can be difficult for you to find suitable sound effects for your story. You may have trouble while trying to use the exact sound that you want them hear. You may have some difficulties while setting the exact intonation... stress you want them hear..maybe have to repeat it again and again..and even that process can sometimes make you crazy !

Anyway; I certainly recommend it to other teachers. Because I think it is a very good way to help young learners practice the listening exercises and also to make them fun! C'mon go and make one of you own. This story can be one that your learners will never forget !

Here We Go !
