  Reflection on the 12th week of the training Newvisionelt YEHUUU!! I have good news!! I came with different and precious websites for you today. Our websites are ready, and they wait for visitors to come and benefit from them. Last week we completed our websites and presented our projects to each other via a Zoom meeting.  Every group presented their website. We talked about what our website includes, why we selected this topic, and what our purposes are for creating these websites. It was a good session. We had fun a lot, our teachers liked our websites, we made comments on each others' work and talk about them.  This training supplied lots of information to us, we learned lots of things from our trainer and our training. We are so glad that we had such an opportunity to take part in such a well-qualified project thanks to our teachers, Dilek İnal and Melda Yılmaz.  Now we are more confident in our field, we know what we should/should not do. We know using technology, collaborati

   Reflection on the 11th week of the training Hello guys!! This is my final post before our presentations.  Wow, we did a lot of work. We couldn't sleep so much, couldn't rest but worked on our website.  Before our presentation, we selected our visuals, completed our papers, and tried to design our website. Zoom calls were our everything in this process, because of the pandemic we couldn't' t see each other face to face and we are far from each other. But thanks to our Zoom meetings we can see each other and discuss lots of things about our website. We always separated our roles as groups and collaborated all the time. We are excited about our presentation and we hope everyone likes our website and benefit from it.  We have not so much time to complete our website anymore so we have to be quick and creative.  After our presentations, I will share both our website and the other groups' website. I didn't see their website yet, but I know they did a great job.  St

   Reflection on the 10th week of the training Hello again!! We are close to the end. We have made progress. In these two weeks, after we completed paper, paper, paper then reading, reading, and then more reading process, we wrote our outlines. In our outlines, we mentioned what we will include in our individual writings and how we will form them. Then, we shared and made comments on each other's outline in our Zoom call as a group. During our Zoom call, we mentioned and discuss some issues that we want to give a place on our website.  I wrote my paper and again we upload almost everything to Dropbox. As I said earlier, thanks to Dropbox we can leave comments to each other and look at what we have done.  We also prepared some documents about problems and solutions that we will present on our website.  So, slowly we have been progressing and it is exciting. I really wonder how will it look like and whether people will love it or not.  Next time, I will come here with our website lin

 Reflection on the 9th week of the training Hey Hey Hoo!! This week's summary is paper, paper, paper, then reading, reading, reading, and then more reading.  There is a lot of information and research on our topic and we tried to learn more and more each day. We follow a planned and well-organized road while doing our research. We use Dropbox for sharing the files we found and leaving comments or notes to each other. It is really useful so we highly recommend it to you. As I mentioned last week, we decided on the subtopics that we will present and give them a place on our website. And we give one topic to every one of us. So everyone knows what s/he should focus on and search.  This week besides our research we made a Zoom call with our trainer Melda Yılmaz. We asked some questions and she answered our questions and gave us some suggestions on our website. During and after our Zoom call with her, we felt more clear about our web page. And of course, we continue ''the  paper

  Reflection on the 8th week of the training Hello again guys!! We completed the 8th week of our program and I'm here to share our progress with you.  This week everything is more clear because now we know our topic much more. And nearly everything has taken shape more.  We started to read papers, articles, and researches last week, and this week we continued to that because there is lots of information and topics, subtopics to learn. The more we read, the more we like our topic. I really started to think that this website will be awesome and lots of people benefit from it.  In our Zoom meeting call, we discussed the main topics and how we should separate them. We divided our topic to each other so every group member will work on a specific subtopic. By the way, we use Dropbox, Mendeley, and Google Docs to organize our researches. We download all the papers that we found and decided it is beneficial for our topic then give notes, comments to each other. So Voila; here is the COLLAB

 Reflection on the 7th week of the training image source Helloo guyyss !! As I mentioned last week our training program is over. So we can say we completed half of the process. Now it is time to apply what we have learned. This week we discussed what we should do for our website with our group members. We did our meetings via Zoom. We decided on two different topics for our website but couldn't decide which one we should move forward. We had a Zoom call with our trainer Melda Yılmaz and discuss which one we should choose and what should we do. Then, we planned meetings to talk and share our opinions with each other. Before our planned meetings we searched about our topic, read the articles, researches, books, and decided on which parts exactly we should focus on.  To make a well-organized work, we created a mind map on Coggle it. And let me share our map with you.  Coggle.it-mindmap As you see from our mindmap our web page's topic is '' Technology Use in Language Teachi

  21st Century Skills Reflection on the sixth week of the training Hellloo everyone!!! I am here with our last session of the training program. 😢 In these 6 weeks, we shared lots of things; information, experience, entertainment, responsibilities, fun... I really appreciate and glad that I have got a chance to be a part of such a well-equipped program. I am glad to know our trainer Melda Yılmaz. She is always kind, supportive, eager to learn and teach, helpful, and funny. I have learned lots of beneficial things from the training. It brought us amazing things. Our training is over but we continue with our project so I am still here. Today I will tell you what we did in our last session and I will share a suggested activity with you that you can use this activity to show your students different varieties of English. At the beginning of our session, our trainer separated us into groups and we discussed this week's reflection questions. By the way, we are good at group works anymore.
