I've opened a class on Edmodo!

      Hello there~ My last post was about Miro and it has been two weeks already. Time really flies! And I'm still trying to improve myself in material designing. Therefore, today I will talk about my delightful experince on Edmodo. 

     Edmodo is an educational network where teachers can share lesson documents, assignments, notices, quizes etc. with their students and it was founded in 2008. It is available in Arabic, English, Spanish, German, Greek, French, Italian, Turkish, Chinese etc. 

     In the past, I had some experience on Edmodo as a student. However, it was a brand new experience for me to use Edmodo as a teacher. Thereby I had a chance to look from the persepective of a teacher and create a class for my imaginative students. 

     You can join my class through this link :) or you can use the class code which is tkfii4.

I've tried Miro~ A Mindmap About SAMR and TPACK Models

      Miro is a digital whiteboard where you can collaboratively organize and design your thoughts. I've used Miro with the purpose of mindmapping. 

      There was just one template for mindmapping and it just had a few features like changing the mindmap to horizantal or vertical, and changing the line types and colors. 

     Therefore, I've dissapointed with its features. I couldn't use it efficiently, since I couldn't convey the knowledge as I wish. And the result wasn't satisfying, both aesthetically and with respect to content.

     After finishing the mindmap you can save it as pdf or jpeg file for free. I like that feature, as I said in the previous post it wasn't free in the Mindmeister. However, downloaded files were in low resolution because you know it was free. 

    Therefore, If I have to choose between Miro and Mindmeister, I would choose Mindmeister. Because it has more features and you can have screenshot of mindmap and its resolution would be the same as Miro's downloaded files.

-SAMR-

-TPACK-

     Our topic was SAMR and TPACK models. SAMR model indicates the levels of classroom technology integration. S stands for Substitution, A stands for Augmentation, M stands for Modification and R stands for Redefinition.

    On the other hand, TPACK model indicates the integrated use of (t)echnological, (p)edagogical (a)nd (c)ontent (k)nowledge.

Here is the link to my mindmap :)

My Experince on MindMeister~ Mind Map About Learning Theories!

    Today I will talk about my experience on MindMeister. MindMeister is an online mind mapping sofware. You can easily create an account with your e-mail and start mind mapping right away. It is easy to figure out how it works and it has many beautiful layouts that you can make aesthetically pleasing mind maps. 

   However, let me remind you that it's not an entirely free software. For example, you can not export your mind map in the format of pdf-which was a drawback for me. Therefore, I can only share the link of my mind map...

Our topic was "Learning Theories" and there were a lot of them. So, mind mapping made it easy for me to fully understand the general informations about the theories. And it'll be a benficial resource for my further studies.

Here is a part of my mind map!

Padlet! Beginning to Journey of Material Designing!

 

Hello, there! Welcome to my blog dedicated to material designing. I'm extremely excited since I've never used blog in my 22 years of life. So excuse me for being a clumsy fellow 😅.

     Today, I will share my experince on Padlet with you. To give a brief  information, Padlet was founded in 2012 and is a webpage which you can use for educational purposes. Let's jump into the process! We were given 7 questions regarding to "learning" and a video for the source of the information. We were given 30+5 minutes to answer those questions. Questions were lined up in columns from left to right, and we could easily answer them through the plus signs underneath them. 

     After we've finished the exercise, our teacher read aloud the answers for regarding questions and we saw different types of answers for the very same questions; sometimes different ideas were emerged, sometimes different words and different syntactic structures were used.

    It was fun and interesting to see that. With this way, we shared our ideas, and built something like an information baloon or let's say a learning environment.

     To sum up, I think Padlet is a wonderful webpage where we can simultaneously share our knowledge with each other, and contribute our learning process substantially.

Here is the link to our Padlet~
