Hello there! My first podcast ever is here!

The adventure of podcasting was really fun and I think It is helpful for both listener and publisher. It was hard to fit the words into sixty seconds but finally I made it! I also realized that listening podcasts can be a amazingly beneficial activity for my future students. Therefore I may use it in the future!

Until next time, adios!

About RSS and Feed Readers

       When you are blogging, you also follow and take ideas from other bloggers. Following and visiting every one of them is a burden. For that case the feed readers are our heroes!

       RSS is basically a way to see all the newest posts made by the blogs you follow. By the help of the readers, you can see all the blogs you follow, all the newest posts of those blogs and you can read them on an interface. Personally I use RSS to follow my favourite teachers' blogs. I read their ideas and that helps to expand my vision of teaching methods. 

       There is a large variety of RSS readers. You can use them within your browser or you can download them and use it that way. I personally use a Chrome plugin. Here you can see the interface and the blogs I follow:

       My favourite blog is ''English Teaching 101" because the blogger Melchor takes a look at the problems that teachers, parents and students face from each of their perspectives. Language teaching is the main subject but the communication between those three is commonly subjected in there. The way he looks to the problems and dilemmas and the solutions he give are inspiring for me.

       So, anyways that is all for today. I hope I could make you more interested in blogs and the readings of them. See you next time, goodbye!

21st Century Learning

       We live in a time that technology and every other perspective of life is engaged. Therefore it is necessary to use technology in education.

       21st century learning is based on some terms and methods which allows learner to think critical, collaborate, have creativity and communicate effectively. Here is a word cloud filled with the key words of 21st century learning:

       The key terms are the 4 C's of 21st century learning.

       1-)Critical Thinking

       2-)Communication
       3-)Collaboration

       4-)Creativity

       For a student living in this time, it is a must to possess those skills and use them in their lives. Those terms have a common idea to follow which is ''student centered instruction''. In order to this idea, student should learn by himself, be effective in pair or group work, be entegrated with the society and think radically. 21st century learning method basically tells us that teachers should have a passive role in teaching process.

That's all for today. I hope that post helped you to at least have an idea about 21st century learning. See you in my next post!

Goodbye!
