  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.

21st Century Skills Training Reflection on the Fifth Week of the Traning We are almost done!! This week was our 5th week, and we only have one week left.  5th week was full of new websites, and we met lots of beneficial tools for teaching the English language.  So today, I am here with incredible websites for you.  Our trainer Melda Yılmaz stared first with Edpuzzle.  Edpuzzle is a website that supplies you turn a video into an interactive material for your lesson.

You can add different types of questions to your video like multiple-choice, open-ended, or you can record your own voice for a question. The website has access to Youtube, so you can easily find a video and use it in Edpuzzle. Also, you can see students' answers too. I think this website is so efficient for giving homework. Via Edpuzzle, students can both watch a vide

21st Century Skills Traning Reflection on the Fourth Week of the Traning   Helloo guyss!!! This week our readings were  Technology in the Classroom by Dudeney, & Hockley  and The Impact of Technology on How Instructors Teach and How Students Learn by Sarah Elaine Eaton. So our reflection questions were about these articles. The main focuses of the articles were how we can teach by using technology, what kind of effect the technology has on students.  We read our articles and wrote our answers to reflection questions before our training section. And this week's section we started with discussing these reflection questions. Again it was a group activity because I believe our trainer wants to teach us how we should collaborate and interact in a group, what kind of roles we have in a group and how we can organize and share our thoughts and opinions in a group.  After our group discussion, our trainer made a presentation to us which is about 'Digital Literacy'. And we talk
