Second Life

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.

Nearpod

Hi mate! What do you know about Nearpod? Nearpod allows us to create interactive lessons. You can easily import existing lessons and adding interactive features such as VR Trips, 3D Objects, quizzes, polls, open ended questions.  It is really easy to use! Teachers share a live session, students enter a code, and the lesson is synced to all devices.  Nearpod creates an inclusive and immersive learning experience by allowing students to actively participate in every lesson. You can also view your students' answers individually or as a class and generate post-session class. It allows students to take ownership of their learning by increasing students' access to information, ideas and interactions and supporting their sense-making. Here is my Nearpod. nearpod.com/kaankural

Teacher Talk

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.
