  My first podcasting experience: It was a bit stressful. Hello Everyone! Thanks for stopping by.   Today, I will talk about my first podcasting experience. I did my podcast individually. You can reach it from here . This picture is taken from here .   I chose to talk about how to improve our world in exactly 60 seconds among the four options given for creating a podcast by our teacher. I used Vocaroo to record my podcast.  The process of making it was easy but recording my voice was not entertaining because I do not like my voice very much. Also, podcasting was a bit stressful. My recording took me a few tries until the process was complete. Writing a script was simple but making it exactly 60 seconds was a bit challenging. I found my idea important to improve the world and also liked this task. Students can be given such tasks to work individually or as a group work. I think podcasting contains advantages such as improving the skills of speaking, reading, and writing of the students.

I enjoyed the search process because the information I attained was informative and beneficial. If you want to see our wall, you can reach it at the end of this post.  Moreover, Padlet w

My first wiki experience: It is worth trying. Hello everyone! Thanks for stopping by. Today I will talk about my first wiki experience. Initially, I should give credit to Şilan, one of my classmates, for this wiki page. We created the page together and you can reach her blog from here .       picture 1. (The image is taken from here .) We were given a task to review a film and the film that we chose was "Detachment". This film mentions a substitute teacher who is assigned to a school  for one month where students are low-level. After watching this film, you can observe your teacher and try to understand what they are going through although they always look okay. We first watched the movie and took notes during the film. Then, we wrote down our ideas about the film and put them together. We searched about the film and added pictures to the page. Later, we created our page  on the wiki.  On our page , you can access information about the film and watch its trailer. I fi
