Güler's Educational Technologies Blog

 Hello Again! wiki-photo   This week I created a Wiki page for my Educational Technologies class. In the Wiki page I created, I talked about one of my favourite books: The Sound of Waves by Japanese author Yukio Mishima. Mishima is one of my favourite writers and the reason why I love this work is The Sound of Waves is quite different from Mishima's other works I've read so far. It is a very positive and motivating young love story with a very folcloric vibe. Creating a Wiki was a great experience for me and I liked it quite a lot. I had a chance to learn about the books that I haven't read and I will definitely read some of them. I am planning to use Wikis during my teaching journey. I will probably be doing Wikis with my students. It is very easy to create a page on a Wiki and share information so it will most probably be an activity I will make use of.

My podcast is vox-pop podcast , short for Vox Papuli , which means “voice of people ” in Latin and it basically is a collection of short interviews with random people from public. In my podcast I asked the question “How does online education make you feel?” to university students who are subjects of online education from different universities in Turkey, including Marmara University, Ege University, Yıldız Teknik University and Kocaeli University and high-school students in order to expand the range of the podcast. I especially tried to ask a question that is up-to-date. I wanted from my friends to share their geniune feelings and ideas about the topic. The answers will make you figure out that online education is much more troubled than you think. It is a huge problem that affects the students both physically and mentally. Not being ab

  21st century, also called “Information Age, is quite different from all eras of human history, so is the learning in 21st century. Learning in 21st century is purposeful and unlike past, it is not prescribed. It mainly focuses on acquiring the needed skills in order to be successful. Learners of Information Age are, obviously, supposed to have much more skills than those that are in the past. Albert Einstein’s famous quote “Once you stop learning, you start dying.” clearly explains what a 21st century learner should be: a life-long learner. In this century of rapid and constant change, learners are supposed to be able to keep up with these changes easily. The learners of Information Age are expected to process, evaluate and apply the information, not just to memorize it. The learners should always be ready to learn and use the information and skills effectively. The learners of this age are must be confident with their qualifications and be creative in order to be successful in the
