Tools:Voki

I'm here again to show you helpful tools. This one is one of my favorite and its really fun. It is Voki! Voki is an educational tool that allows users to create their very own talking character. Voki characters can be customized to look like historical figures, cartoons, animals, and even yourself! In free version, you don't have a lot of characters and visuals but that's okay because I think they are already amazing. The only bad thing I can say about Voki is that your text should be limited with 600 characters. If that's a big problem for you, you can record videos one by one and edit those videos after.It is a free Web 2.0 tool. The site features educational resources, including teacher-submitted lesson plans. Users can customize characters to resemble living people, animals and cartoons. You can record voices with your computer or your phone and if you don't want to use your own voice, they have their own sounds. They are really various. They speak English but you can choose which accent they should speak. It is a great application for education and I created one too. I created an historical figure and I loved her immediately.

Tools:Storybird

Hi everyone! As you can see from the title, we are going to examine St orybird!  Storybirds  are short, art-inspired stories you make to share, read, and print. It is a fun, collaborative, storytelling website. In the website, they are not giving you a blank white paper to write. They create their own concepts. That's why it's so easy to start with Storybird. If you want to improve your writing skills but you don't know how to do this, Storybird is a good start for you and for your education. Inside the website they have tutors and they speak about how to write your own versions. It is really helpful to see some teacher about this subject.  Storybird  was designed to allow children to work with parents and friends in creating art-inspired stories to share and save. I want to say that even though it looks like it was created for children, it has many features. Improves your writing skills Explores your creativity It makes you inspired with a lot of conc...

My Virtual Reality Experience

Resim
Hi everyone! Today I want to talk about my recent experience that I loved : Virtual Reality. Virtual Reality is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment. Virtual reality is an artificial environment that is presented to the user in such a way that the user suspends belief and accepts it as a real environment. You can experience it so extreme that it sometimes can make you sick. Virtual reality sickness occurs when exposure to a virtual environment causes symptoms that are similar to motion sickness symptoms.The most common symptoms are general discomfort, headache, stomach awareness, nausea, vomiting, pallor, sweating, fatigue, drowsiness, disorientation, and apathy. Y ou wear the virtual reality headset over your eyes like a pair of goggl es.  It blocks out all external light and shows you an image o...

Tools:Socrative

Resim
We have a new addition to our tools family: Socrative! Socrative  is a cloud-based student response system developed in 2010 by Boston-based graduate school students. It allows teachers to create simple quizzes that students can take quickly on any device that they have (laptops,computers,smartphones,tablets)  You have 3 options to create a quiz:multiple choice, true/false, short answer. This platform helps students to learn anywhere and how they want. Every student is different and they can take the tests however they want. To some students, true or false is a good way to learn but according to some students, it makes the learning process harder and they become confused. You can keep track of your students and take notes of their progress. It makes the feedback process easier and you get to know the every individual student. I created a quiz with using the true/false technic and I enjoyed it very much.
