Creating an Infographic

-
 Hello again! Today I am here to introduce you to a fun activity. Our teacher asked us to choose one of the ethical and legal issues in the use of technology and create an informational infographic. I chose the topic of cyberbullying becuase I wanted to raise awareness on this issue.
  As for the design process, frankly it was a bit difficult for me at first because it was my first infographic experience. Choosing templates and visuals harmoniously and researching-conveying information at the same time is not an easy task. However, apart from these, I did not encounter any difficulties. I created it using the Canva application, it's a creative app with nice content, but I found it a bit confusing to use. Maybe I think this way because I used it for the first time, I don't know. 

 What are the potential benefits of infographics in the English classroom?
 
 Infographic is an effective method for quickly communicating complex information. Therefore, it will make a great contribution to the explanation of especially complex and difficult to remember words and grammar encountered in English education. Also, it is more effective and memorable than other visuals. So, it has the potential to be an entertaining language teaching material.

 How can students benefit from this? What would be the educational benefits of creating an infographic on a given topic for students?
  
 I think infographics are like posters. Students can learn about the courses and subjects they have difficulty in by creating their own infographics at this preparation stage. They can also learn the subject they want by examining ready-made infographics. However, more efficient learning takes place with self-prepared infographics because you need to do research and establish certain points in your mind before creating. This preliminary preparation phase and subsequent translation into materials both encourages students and provides more permanent learning by giving the student a more active role in the learning process.

 Here is my infographic about cyberbullying ( It consists of two pages, if you are viewing the infographic as a video, advance the video to look at the other page.)  :

Improving Writing Skills with AI Integrated Teaching Material

  We created a teaching material that utilized AI's writing assistance to explore festivals across the globe. For us, this was both a fun and beneficial experience. Unit 6 of the MEB coursebook's intercultural topics  provide the basis for the content, which is intended for EFL high school prep students.    We included AI (ChatGPT) technology into the writing process to make the course more interesting. Students will write well-structured paragraphs about the festivals they selected and the related weather conditions. Additionally, they will review and enhance their work with ChatGPT's guided feedback before presenting their paragraphs to the class.   Students reinforced their learning in the last step by reflecting on the entire process. Our ASSURE-based lesson plan successfully matched objectives with the needs of the students. This experiment showed how AI supports writing activities to improve the learning process.

Creating a Corpus-Based Teaching Material

    Greetings to everyone! I always said that I would come across you with different content. Now I am here again with something else. We had an assignment to prepare a corpus-based teaching material and lesson plan for EFL high school students. With a student-centered approach that incorporates technology into the classroom, we created a course that attempts to help students with their grammar and vocabulary. Actually, we aimed for them to notice the difference between the use of 'many' and 'much', but while doing this, we integrated grammar and vocabulary knowledge because they also needed to know the words they are used together.    How did the process work?     We chose to teach the use of 'many' and 'much' quantifiers from the "Party" unit in the coursebook by MEB for preparatory students. By examining language corpora, we made it possible for students to identify linguistic patterns. For this reason, we introduced the COCA (...

Chatting with the Valuable Philosopher Socrates about the Socratic Method thanks to Magic School AI !

  Hello again. I am here with the last task of the term. It was the task of chatting through Magic School AI with a historical figure of our choice about a topic we were curious about.  Then, we were asked to write a report about the interview and revise the report using AI feedback. I made Socrates my chatmate and satisfied my curiosity about Socratic questioning. It was an interesting experience because even though I knew that the person speaking in front of me was artificial intelligence, it really felt like Socrates had come to life. Even though we are used to the concept of AI today, I have never had a conversation with it before. However, despite this, I did not experience any difficulties in light of the instructions given. Using AI did not force me, on the contrary, it helped me access much more information than I wanted. Just write your question and click the send button! The information is coded into the artificial intelligence in such a way that I feel like I am ac...
