Hot Potatoes Review

      Hello, last week I completed my hot potatoes project and our teacher wanted us to give feedback for our projects so my friend Yektanur and I checked each other's projects. She checked it and she said that my hot potatoes project was suitable for intermediate level but reading passage in jquiz part was quiet long. She answered questions very well but she said that jmix part was little bit challenging for her.

Social Network Tools

        Hi , you saw this post and probably thinking about how to use social media in education so it is one of the best way to learn and teach language but if you wonder how to use, it is not so hard. For example, from twitter and facebook you can share information and notification with your class and upload photos from instagram about vocabularies and students can check them. You can make announcements and give assignments too from these websites too. Even if you can watch education videos from youtube so in this way can attract your students to the lesson easily.

The word podcast is a combination of the words "broadcasting" and "ipod". This application have media player too.You can also record your own voice and share it. It is good to use it in lessons too because listening is an important part of language learning.

Blog and Language Teaching

      Hi everyone , I will mention about blogging and language teaching. I want to make clear definition of  "Blog" so what is blog? " Blog (noun) – a journal or diary that is on the Internet. Blog (verb) – to write a blog – I am going to blog before breakfast this morning." Writing blog is very useful and common way to teach and learn.Blogging makes lessons more attractive. You can use blogs in class as a teaching material and students can use blogs too. There are useful blogs about language teaching you can show them in class as a teaching material . You can also ask your students to write blogs or class can have a common blog as a journal in lesson so they can keep informations up to date and it can be useful for evaluating lesson.
