my wiki link

here is my wiki...chech it!!!! http://ulkuozorun.pbworks.com/w/page/61483010/FrontPage

wiki

I know that WIKI is a page that an instructor create to guide the assignments. The instructor give directions by using WIKI and describes how a student can do the assignment step by step. If it is allowed by the creator of the page, others can also see the page get get benefit from the site. Additionally, they may make comments and suggest other things to improve the assignment or share videos, pictures... to make it clearer.
I know how to follow a WIKI but I also want to learn how to create such a page for my future profession to make my students follow the steps to engega with any activity when they want to.


The most useful features to create your own web site are:
1) You can add link which belongs to your other accounts uch as twitter, facebook, blogger etc so that you have a chance to combine severl pages at a time and direct your students from one page to another to see examples, your already shared things or to comment o them.
2) You can arrange the steps of the assignment as you want to follow, as a teacher, and you can explain each step in your words, appropriate to the level of your students. Because the ones that are created by someone else may have a high level English which does not suit to your students. As a teacher, you are the person who  knows the target group best.
3) You can insert charts, graphs that may summarise your topic
4)You can add lots of pictures to satisfy your stdents by visualizing the target point.
5) You can make it open to the comments, so that you can evaluate your page if it works or if it has problems, need to be improved...By that way, you can edit it and see what goes wrong with your way of creating it. Or you may edit and add some extra information to make the point clearer.

 From the activity, I learned how to create a wiki sheet and how to insert charts, images, links to other pages or any activity that is created through hot potatoes or teacher's pet etc and how to edit the page.I think to use it with my students all the time because it is easier way to follow the way of doing any activity at any time they want to. By this way, they always have a teacher with them which show them the steps of the assignment. So it is more beneficial for students to use such a thing.

Episode 2 my conversation with Lauren

Episode 2



1)  I absolutely recommend  this to students for listening or speaking practice. By this way they have a chance to listen what a good conversation looks like. While they are listenng to the recording, they both improe their listening abilities and they learn how to create such a dialog. Also, it is beneficial for teachers that you do not have to find another  persn to create a dialog.

2)I don't think that students will object about TTS but teachers might object in terms of deficiency of technologic tools in some instıtutions. So they can't use such a tool under this condition.

3)Yes, I think so.

KWL

Teacher's pet is a very useful webpage for a teacher.I learn to design several activities through using it. You can create exercises, quizes.. without wasting time, with just one click. I think it is very helpful tool in preparing crossword puzzles because the webpage is thinking and organizing it with clues instead of you.

KWL

I know that teacher's pet is something related to word but I don't know its details and how to use it effectively. I want to learn it in details to use in an effective way.

In the end of the activity, I learn how to create several activities in a very short time period for my students. It is helpful in terms of saving time and creating interesting thinks without thinking much on them. I learn to create crossword puzzles, sentences with punctuational removes, fill in the gap,antonym,synonym... activities very quickly.

CTE 319&KWL

I do not know much about interactive webpages but I want to learn every aspect of it to use in my future profession to be a more creative teacher and get the attention of students.

By dealing with these interactive webpages, I learn to design activities by using hot potatoes. By this, I can create matching tests, cloze tests or fill in the gaps test. Also these pages help us to save time because they are the shortest and the easiest way of designing activities. Additionally, I think that the students will love  these types of activities because you jan attach video clip to the fill in the gaps tests. This makes students both enjoy themselves and learn the related vocabulary by listening.
