Hey everyone! In this post we are going to view Flipgrid. Flipgrid is a social learning platform that allows educators to ask a question, then the students respond in a video. Students are then able to respond to one another, creating a "web" of discussion. Thus students can monitor each other's mistake and this means a lot because students get feedback from not only their teacher but also their classmates. However, recording a video and sharing may not be very amusing for every student as there can be introverted students. Here is my Grid. flipgrid.com/kaankural

Hi, we are going to review teacher talk. No matter what teaching strategies or methods a teacher uses, it is necessary to give directions, explain activities, clarify the procedures students should use in an activity, and check students' understanding. While doing all these, teachers are trying to make themselves as easy to understand as possible and that's why they use teacher talk. Besides, effective teacher talk may provide essential support to facilitate both language comprehension and learner production.

Hello there! Let's talk about Second Life. Second Life is an online virtual reality tool in which you can create your own avatar, roam freely and chat with the others. But how can we use it in education? We can create environments for students so that they can improve their reading and writing skills. Also they can talk or chat with others thus they can enhance their listening and speaking skills. While one can use it to teach directions, other can use it to teach vocabulary like names of animals. Surely, Second Life improves students' motivation and self-confidence which is quite important for the language learners. Here is a memory from my Second Life experience.
