HOT PATATOES








The Hot Potatoes is application for creating  multiple-choice, short-answer, jumbled-sentence, crossword, matching/ordering and gap-fill exercises for your lessons. Hot Potatoes is free, and we can use it for any purpose or project in our lessons. To use Hot Patatoes application you should download it on your compute.

I think that this application is tedious, challenging, and difficult. You can make the same think with using Kahoot, Socrative, and Quizlet more easily. Even so I have tryed this application and create a multiple choice question from the study of language about  word formation. You can see below..

VIRTUAL REALITY





Virtual reality(VR) is creating a virtual world and presenting our senses in a way that we were really there. With VR technology we are not only seeing the screen in front of us, we  experience like we are inside of this place. There are many areas using the virtual reality, such as military, healthcare, fashion, business, sport, entertainment, enginering, media, and education. Microsoft HoloLens, Sony’s Project Morpheus, The Vive by Valve, Samsung GearVR, Google Cardboard, Magic Leap, Carl Zeiss, Archos, Razer and Avegant are some companies that are working on VR technology. One of the VR are is education. It is regarding me because I am going to be a teacher. Today children are familiar with all forms of technology. They have grown up with technology from a very early age. To attract and hold the attention of students can be easy with using VR technology in the lessons. For effective learning students should apply what they have learnt into their real worlds. While teaching something students do not have any knowledge what we are talking about. To Show them what we are talking about we can use VR technology. The best way of learning is doing and seeing what we are learning about. For example; while teaching animals we can first show the animals then we can teach their names. So it would be more interesting and catchy. Learning and teaching body parts, numbers, vegetables, verbs can be more easy to remembered. Also, with VR technology students can improve their speaking and writing skills. They can experience of being at a cafe or at a hospital and they can improve their speaking according to a situation. As a future teacher I can make an a lot of activities with using VR technology. In that way I always keep my students motivated and interested.

AUGMENTED REALITY




These videos are example of Augmented Reality. I've made them with hp Reveal. Below, there is my reflection about this technology. Hope you liked it.






Augmented reality(AR) is seeing the illusion of the objects on our real world with the help of visual devices. In order to understand how augmented reality technology Works shortly it is bringing the computer generated objects into the real world. There are many areas to use augmented reality. For example, ın social media such as on snapchat or instagram we have already used a kind of augmented reality, with filters we choose a objects and its hologram come to our rooms. Augmented reality can be used in science and medicine. Students can see the organs with hologram so its help them to understand better. The other areas of the use of augmented reality are marketing, cinema, tourism, decor, game, buying and selling, museum and education. In education area, it can be easier and more fun to learn with augmented reality, and there are many AR Apps
 that can facilitate that, such as hpreveal, layar, blippar, zappar, and augment. A smartphone can help to use this apps. I have chance to use two of these apps. These apps are hpreveal and augment. Both of them easy to use and apply on something. In my future class, I would like to use this technology. Even today with social media I have enjoy myself to use such kind of filters that come to my real world, so in educational area students can learn with fun with the help of augmented reality devices.  If I have chance to use this tecnology in high schools or in universities, I prefer to be used this technology by students. So that, they can experience this technology by learning to use it by themselves. In addition, I think that it will be more beneficial to use this technology in kindergarten and primary school. For example, students can learn body parts, animals, fruits, vegetables and so on topics with seeing hologram of them in their real world. This visuality helps them to remember and memorize the topic easily. Also augmented reality helps students to read more and more. For instance, the pictures on the book can be a 3D image with the help of augmented reality devices, so that the book become more funny and interesting.  In my future class, I can create my own AR experiences and use them to motivate my students and increase their attention to lessons. This experience helps me to think more critically and create new ideas about the world around me and the lessons. Beside its benefit, it can also decrease the attention of the students. Possibly the augmented reality distract the young learners. They cannot concentrated on the other words of the teachers. The 3D objects can be more interesting than the lessons. So that this technology should have limited time on the lessons. Also, ın remote future, we do not need to go somewhere to buy something or visit. This technology,augmented reality, brings them to our home. Even today we can see how a clothes fit on us with the help of augmented reality. For example, today ikea offer this opportunity with the help of app with augmented reality, you can see how a sofa fits on your room. In conclusion, I think that the advantage of using augmented reality in education is more than not to use. I hope that I can use this technology in my future class. If I can, I will be a hero in the eyes of my students because I will inspire them and change the way of learning with the help of augmented reality.
