Make Learning Fun With Voki!

 

Hello everyone!

I am going to talk shortly about Voki today. Voki is an application that every student will love and definitely have a a lot of fun while using it. In this application, you can create characters such as normal human faces, emojis, animals and make them speak by typing the speech you want to make them speak in the space provided. You can decide and choose whether the person speaking is a man or a woman, his/her accent and where he/she comes from. I recommend every one to use Voki, because it's really an application that students will improve themselves and have a lot of fun.

• Here is my Voki character, you can hear it speak by clicking https://tinyurl.com/y7ydk2fu  this link.

Get Lost In Your Imaginations With Storybird!

 

Hello everyone!

I'm going to talk about Storybird today. Storybird is an application where students of all ages can create digital stories and develop their skills such as writing, creative thinking and their imagination. You can use hundreds of templates and characters in Storybird, or you can create your own template or character and add them to Storybird. Students can read the created books; they can write their own books, stories and poems. It's a tool that makes the work of book/story writing enjoyable, improves writing skills and increases the interest of the users by motivating them in this field.

• I also tried to make a short comic story, the title of it is "a surprising and at the haunted house" Hope you'll like it!

Surface Your Thoughts With Wordle!

 

Hello everyone!

Wordle is a website where you are able to create visual representations of text through "word clouds" to illustrate your message. It's a fun tool that creates a word cloud out of your written texts. You can paste a text from a document or type it directly into Wordle. The tool automatically generates a word cloud that visually represents the various words appear. Frequently used words are larger than others. The first shape is generated randomly, and you can then customize its appearance by removing less significant words and adjusting orientation, color palette, and its font. Wordle is really an entertaining alternative for everyone, especially for students. 

• I also tried to make a mini word cloud, hope you'll like it.

Pin Your Interests On Pinterest!

 

Hello everyone!

Pinterest is a platform where users share and interact with an incredible number of various photos. It is, as you can understand from its name, a platform where you can Pin your Interests. I can hear you asking, 'where is the educational aspect in there?' Well, it depends on how you use it. On Pinterest, most people also share educational stuff. There are also many useful things for learning English like grammar knowledge, vocabulary, prepositions etc. All you have to do is write the subject you want to learn in the search bar, after typing, you will come across all sorts of pictures and you can save them and pin them on your own page.

• I pinned many pictures under the title 'English language learning', and added the photo in case you want to see it.

My Podcast and Vodcast

 

Hello everyone!

A podcast is a program consisting of music or speech in digital format that can be automatically downloaded over the internet. The word podcast was created in the 2000s from the words pod in the word "iPod" and "broadcast". Podcasts have been developed for the iPod for the first time. Apart from the entertainment use of podcasts, educational and business use is also widespread. There are many platforms where you can upload your own podcast such as buzzsprout, podbean, simplecast, soundcloud etc. I also created a podcast about learning language and its benefits.

• Here is the link for my podcast: https://soundcloud.com/beyza-k-l-546536641/language-learning-and-its-benefits/s-f6nrWergm6d 

Vodcast is actually defined as the video content of podcasts. As you can imagine, it comes from a combination of the words video and podcast, some people also prefer to call it "vidcast". Vodcasters produce content that goes beyond the audience, such as conveying, teaching, entertaining, and making people think about specific topics rather than the events that happen to them individually or daily. I also created an animated vodcast with powtoon about some tips for learning language.
