 In this post I'm going to talk about my experience about material design course in this semester. This semester started a little bit different than the other ones. There was lots of sickness and snow which made first month a bit difficult to have classes other than that it went smoothly. Every activity and task that we prepared was interesting and also they were usable for teaching purposes in future. We did lots of group work and technology work too which are important for future teachers in terms of socially and futuristically. By the time we become teachers there will be lots of changes in education also during our career these changes will continue. One of the best sides of this course was that it actually prepare us for those changes. I learned a lot of things that i didn't know I could use while teaching such as augmented reality.       The hard part of it was the group projects for me actually because I have never liked group projects since childhood. Another hardship w

 For our final task me and my friends Beyza and Birdem prepared a WebQuest for our students.  We basically asked the students to prepare an online poster and a presentation. We explained every step to make an online poster and a presentation so that it would be easier for them to follow and do their task properly. For the topic we agreed on environmental issues to be more specific the environmental issues that are caused by humans.

And then a list is given to the students to write their and pair's name and the news that they chose for their poster and presentation. The students are going to do their tasks according to the rubric we gave them which includes some criteria for their

Augmented Reality shortly AR is a technology that allows people to see, create or examine etc. the thing that are not phisically there but technologically are. It is not yet a common practice in society other than some games and entertainment applications which means not every phone or tablet has the AR quality with them. That means teachers can not use it as a common practise because it would cause inequalty and take too much time. Teacher only can use is in an environment where every students has equal opportunity which is highly possible in future in terms of AR.     We were asked to prepare an activity for students to use AR tech. We prepared it with the help of some apps. I mostly used Canva and Youtube 360 videos for this activity. The hardest part of this assignment was to find a properly working app that students can use it easily. I could not find a properly functioning app so I decided to do it with 360 vide
