Reflection for Session 8

How well did your teachers use video in your lessons at school.  Do you think that videos could have enhanced your learning in some subjects.  As a teacher, think of a situation where you would get students to create an animation as part of the learning process?  How do you think this might affect the learning process for the students?


I think videos make lessons more attractive. Also, they have effects on regaining the students' attention. For example, when a teacher want students to watch a video about the subject, students would try not to make noise and watch the video even if they weren't listening before video. Videos are good at both taking attention of students and making a subject more clear, understanding. I can not say all of my teachers use very effective videos when they want to explain a subject or make our knowledge better about a subject. Some of them use videos well in lessons. They did very effective the lessons by using good videos to improve our knowledge. I can say that the rest's videos are not even about the subject. I have seen it many times. If I were a teacher, I would want my students to make video after I taught the subject to make their new knowledge much better. I think it will affect my student's learning process better than other ways because using video after understood subject will make them more knowledgeable.

Reflection 5 (encoding/decoding)

When I was high school, our computer teacher taught us algoritma and pascal programming language. He taught us how to think step by step to reach solutions. He gave us exercises to do and Each semester, we were supposed to do project for his lessons by making a new program.

Do you think that online tests are useful? Would you encourage students to use online tests for other purposes, such as personality tests, technology skills tests, etc. Why/why not?

I think online tests are totally useful. When I start an online test, I also start to learn thanks to the test. I think it is better than playing game, or others wasting time staffs. I will absolutely encourage my students to use online tests. It is one of the effective ways of learning.

Reflection 4

Reflect on your experiences as a student learning English. When you consider the use of instructional technology and media by your teacher, (1) can you identify what steps in the ASSURE model that were used? If the teacher in fact included all the steps,(2) do you think this improved  the effectiveness of the lesson? If the teacher did not include all steps, which were missed ?  Did this omission negatively impact on the effectiveness of the lesson?

 I think learning a different language is really challenging. I have been learning English since I was 10. English is in my life nearly 11 years. I have seen different learning tecniques since 11 years. I remember my English teachers and I can say most of them used tape players, family trees. These were their techniques and they apply it everyone of the class and so on, when I came the Cyprus, METU NCC, I saw additional different staff in learning English in preparatory school such as playing games, forcing students to speak English in classrooms and etc..

1- Analyzing Learners

In prep. school, there were an exam which determines students English levels. Students were seperated according to the result of the exam and we can add degree in it.

    Media and Materials

We watched lots of videos and listened tapes as learning pratices. Moreover, we used different materials such as cards, used for games, projectors etc..
 
   Feedbacks

After each exam and homework, teachers gave us feedbacks about our papers.

2-  After the teachers applied the all steps together, it was really effective for us. I think there was no way to learn it  better.

Hala oradamısın sen bıraktığım yerde
Gözlerime inanamıyorum
Allahım gerçek mi bu
Dağ gibi dimdik mağrur
Heybeti kalıbı meşhur
Şaka gibi bi durum dur
Daha akşama dün rüya mı bu
bile tutamıyordu seni halbuki
uçuyordu göklerde tersine mehter
bir ileri iki geri şimdi bu halin ne
kızma hayata bıraktığın
ayna bile küsmüşse
sormadın ama sen ben söyleyecem
cevabı daha sende, naber
gelmedi mi senden bi haber merak ettik
mü kaldın mı endişelendik
bu hayat çok zor malum hele yalnızsan
düşünecektin onu başında, naber?
