Educational Technologies with Dilara

Hello again! The topic for this week is an ONLINE POSTER !         We were assigned to create a movie poster project that is based on a novel or a magazine cover project. I chose to make a movie poster of a novel that I like and reviewed before in my blog,  Fantastic Night by Stefan Zweig .          Doing my poster, I used  Canva  and Adobe Photoshop. First of all, I decided on my cast. Because there is dominantly one main character in the novel, I chose one actor. Then, I searched for his suitable photographs on the internet. I had to show an important scene from the book in my poster, that is why I chose the one with flying balloons. He did not have any photographs with balloons, so I had to photoshop them.                                                    ...

  Hello again! The topic for this week is WIKIS !         Wikis are the websites that people can write and edit collaboratively. We are actually familiar with wikis a lot: Wikipedia, Wiktionary, wikiHow, etc.         So, my task was creating a book review page in PBworks, editing it, then editing my classmates' page if it is needed, and leaving a question in the comments, lastly answering my comment. I chose  Fantastic Night by Stefan Zweig .            I enjoyed a lot doing the task. Because I generally forget the plot of books with details, it was a bit hard for me to write a book review.            I have already known that people can change a page in wikis, but I did not know how easy and practical it is. I think it can be applied in class as a tool for practicing writing and collaborating among students. That's why I may use it in the future. Thanks for reading u...
