Dearest Dosts,
When I looked at the previous Blog, I have realized that how much I ignored you. Sorry for that. In fact, we cannot understand how much time we waste while writing to different pages such as; Twitter, Face Book, google+, LinkedIn, but social media is something like this. Furthermore, I have to deal with my extra pages within Face Book such as; "Ed 401 Classroom management", "Ed 313 Conflict resolution", "ICT Seagulls Project" and "WCTQEE-Turkey Chapter". However, I made a good decision and I left the design of my pages to the creative mind and skillful hands of Mr. Cem Karahanoğlu. You will see his work in the design of; www.bilisimcimartilar.com . Even though some details are missing, everything will be complete soon. Please visit that page.
My dearest dosts, this term I have been giving two courses: Classroom management for the senior students of FLE Department and Conflict Resolution course for the freshman, junior and senior students of all departments in the Faculty of Education. At the end of each term, I conduct a survey to learn the reflections of my students. Last term, we had taken videos at the classroom during the project presentations and then we prepared them as MOOCs for Teacher Training. I noticed that they felt excited and stressed during the presentations and their achievement levels decreased. that is why, this term I am asking for OOPs (Open Online Projects) from them. What does it mean? After the presentations at the classroom, the needed corrections will be made and teams will take their own video films and deliver them as final projects. 22 projects will be presented until 14th May. If you are interested in those projects, please feel free to be our guests especially for the Conflict Resolution course.
Dear colleagues, I have been teaching for 38 years. I have written and edited many books for teacher training. You can see their pictures on this page. I have decided to modify them to prepare e-books for those which were written before 2004. The reason of this is to contribute to the "Qualified Teacher Training".
