We've again come to end of the term and this is my goodbye post. Today, I will share my thoughts on my Material Design in English Language Teaching course since it is my last post about it. I'm glad that I took both of the lessons of our teacher, last term and this term, and I believe I saw teacher-part of the things through this year. Throughout the term, I did lot of tasks, I learned many different concepts about material design and they helped me a lot in terms of planning my future teaching. Thanks to this lesson, I know I've got many materials to use while creating something and I also learned how to transform coursebooks' projects and tasks to better ones. I really appreciate my teacher, Dr. Kurt for her lovely lectures, creative tasks, and all her efforts.

Hi! Our final assignment is creating a webquest. The task was to redesign a project to make it technology-integrated. My teammates were Rabia and Yaren. We chose our project from MEB's Preparatory Class Student's Book. Here are the original project steps:  - Prepare your own poster about how to protect our nature and write your slogan on it as in the examples below.  - Then, present your poster to your friends. The original project was creating a poster which is composed of a slogan and a visual.  We changed it with creating an infographic which involves visuals and data. If a student wants to create a infographic, he/she needs to do a research before, collect data and visuals to use, and present it with their own words which enables them to facilitate their language skills. There are also options for them to choose, they have some websites to search, videos to watch in order to collect data. Also, the original project does not have any "problem" to solve. Students...

 For this week, we were assigned a new task. We are supposed to implement AR (augmented reality) into our teaching material.  I decided to do tour of a city. I chose one of the most famous cities in the world, London. This city is really well known so it was easy to find materials. I often used 360 Youtube videos for landmarks. British Museum, London Eye, Buckingham Palace. I also presented Chinese New Year Festival.  I created some questions for students, using Canva then added QR codes of the Youtube videos. Rest was easy. I put together all of this and finished my task.
