Travel Around the World on Your Seat! - Augmented Reality (AR)

-

    Hello, my dear readers!

    Today, I am going to tell you about great technology, Augmented Reality (AR). This technology helps you to see the things that are hard or impossible to reach. For example, you can see a planet closely thanks to AR. There are numerous thing that you can do by using AR and using it is very easy. You need a smartphone that supports AR technology and an AR application, that's all.

    Did you know that you could visit a city virtually? I and my partner prepared an example for you. Are you ready to visit Krakow just sitting and looking at the screen? Let's go then!

    First, let's look at our worksheets. These are your guidelines during the trip. Read the instructions carefully please.

           
           
           
           
    Here is the video of the process:
 

    There is a lot of information about Krakow on them such as symbols of the city, historical places, museums (St. Mary's Basilica, Wieliczka Salt Mine, and Wawel Castle), famous food (Pierogi) and a festival (The Dragon Parade). There are questions about the information given in the videos. We also asked some personal questions. Finally, we designed a homework which is a combination of Podcast and AR. Students are supposed to create a podcast via Vocaroo and upload it to YouTube. Then they will prepare a worksheet for their friends and add a photo that sends the scanners to the podcast.

    I and Bengisu prepared the worksheets together on Canva. She created the AR photos on ARLOOPA and recorded the video. I edited the video on VegasPro and uploaded it to Youtube. 

    We had so much fun while preparing this task, as always. However, I couldn't test how our AR projects work because my phone doesn't support this technology. We became friends with the support team of the AR app because we had some problems during the process. The app allows free users to try it for a week and after a week all of our projects disappeared. We created new accounts and created the projects again but this time the previous videos and the new videos overlapped. The support team helped us with it.

You can visit my partner Bengisu's post and see the procedure from her perspective.

See you in my next post!

     Hello, my dear readers!      Do you remember my previous post about flipped vocabulary video? This time we repeated the same concept by creating a flipped grammar video. Our topic is "illnesses" and our video aims to teach how to use "should" in a sentence. uscupstate      At the beginning of the video, we give brief information about the video. Then, the instructive part of the video starts. We show affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences and teach how to use them.       After this part, our doctor-patient dialogues come. We shot some videos with our families to make our students see real-life situations. Then, showed a game that our students can play at home with their families. Finally, we told them about their homework. Here's the video!      I loved creating flipped classroom videos. There are lots of things a teacher can do. We had so much fun while recording the videos and decorating th...

Hi my dear readers, Today's post is about podcasting! Podcasts are records that you can listen anywhere you want. Everyone can publish a podcast because podcasts can be about any topic. I and my partner Dilara Katmer created a podcast for you. It's main idea is to ask one question to different people and record their opinions. It's called Vox Pop. With Vox Pops we can hear distinct voices and their perspectives. Here is our podcast. Podcasting was entertaining and difficult at the same time. We had a lot of fun but finding people to answer your questions and editing the podcast on computer was hard for us. But we learned a lot of things and some tips about them so next time it will be easier to publish a podcast.   inc.com I will use podcasting as a tool in my classroom in future because I believe podcasts can improves students' life and language skills. Especially creating a podcast as a group improves social skills of the members. They communicate, deb...
