Hello everyone!   In today's article, we will talk about an application called Padlet. This application is one of my favorites since I used it in my first year at university. It is an application that helps a lot.  Padlet is a digital tool that can help teachers and students in class and beyond by offering a single place for a notice board. That's at its most basic. This digital notice board is able to feature images, links, videos, and documents, all collated on a "wall" that can be made public or private. This means that not only can teachers post on the wall but so too can students.  In the first step, to open an account you need to go to www.Padlet.com 1. Login with your already established Google or Facebook account or Click on “Sign Up” to create a new Padlet account. Here is my account.  Take some time to explore the Home Page. When you’re ready to create your first wall, follow these steps….  1. Click on “CREATE NEW PADLET” to create a new wall. ...

  Hello virtual friends! In this post I will talk about Learning Management System (LMS) and give some examples that can illustrate this concept very well . What is a   Learning Management System?   An LMS is the infrastructure that delivers and manages instructional content, identifies and assesses individual and organizational learning or training goals, tracks the progress towards meeting those goals, and collects and presents data for supervising the learning process of an organization as a whole.The other definition describes LMS as “an information system that administers instructor-led and e-learning courses and keeps track of student progress. Used internally by large enterprises for their employees, an LMS can be used to monitor the effectiveness of the organization's education and training. It is also beneficial in ensuring state-and federal-mandated courses are delivered in a timely manner. LMSs are frameworks that support teaching and learning and are usua...

  Hello again!  Here we met again. This time I will introduce another application called Edmodo. This blog contains many applications, but are you curious to learn a new one? Well, let's get started. As a start, I will tell when I heard about this app. Edmodo is an educational network that aims at providing teachers with tools to help them connect and communicate with their students and parents. Via the Edmodo app or website, teachers can share content, texts, videos, homework, and assignments with their students online.  I have known Edmodo since the eighth grade, in the subject of computer technology. At first, it seemed very difficult, but this application makes everything simpler. I once opened it with a student account after our teacher shared the class code with us, but now my account opened differently. In the first step, we need to open an account. You can choose the option as a student or as a teacher, this is up to you. But to open an account as a student you mu...

  FlipGrid. Have you ever heard of this app? I first heard this name from a social group and then from our professor. And here came the day for me to be part of this application. At first I was a little confused how I would use this app as I thought I had nothing to share. Later I got the courage and started searching on Google. First we need to open an account like any other application. You can register by Email if you want to make the process easier. Then you need to enter some information about schooling and where you live. Of course some data is optional and you can skip it. After all these procedures are over, you will be on the main page, but do not be confused! This application helps you with everything by drawing up tables with different notes and instructions. I opened my first group as a "Student" and named it "ELT" just like my new blog. You can choose if you would like the newly formed group to be private or public. I made my group public as the...

Second Life, a game in a virtual world owned by Linden Lab. My experience in this game is amazing. To begin with, we need to download this application on our laptop, computer or smartphone. After downloading it we are ready to start. The first step is to log in with our username and password set by us. We have come to the point where we have to choose an avatar of our choice and edit it. There are so many options that it can be very difficult to choose an avatar. Once we have finished choosing the portrait and the dress as desired, you are ready to start the adventure and discover the whole place. The tables at the beginning show very clearly the instructions on how you can walk and fly. This game introduces you to its world. Exactly from the name of the game "Second Life", it gives you the feeling as if this world really exists. One of my favorite options is to be able to have different conversations with other players. There is nothing more beautiful than playing and maki...

  Here it is! Voki is one of the most entertaining programs you can use to learn. With this application you can create an Avatar of your choice. In the picture below you can see some options how you can adjust your avatar. After we finish creating our avatar, we move on to the most important part of this program. To communicate, this application has given us several options that are in the form of writing, speaking and downloading audio. The form I used to perform this activity was through writing. And here is the avatar created by me. And not to forget, this avatar is already called AvatarX. The topic I chose to talk about is "Online Education Nowdays". If you want some help , here is a video explaining everything about this app. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7lj_bKf5JU And don't forget to watch my Avatar and  hear my topic in this link:   https://tinyurl.com/y5mzcbze
