To learn it well, I opened an account. I prepared a class. In my opinion, it is really beneficial. You should try it. See you. 💕💕

21st Century Skills

 

 Hello my dear readers,

I hope everything in your life is fine. Today I am with you with a new topic. I am going to tell you about 21 st Century Skills. Technology is changing our world. Routine knowledge and skills are being renewed. So what are these skills? They are skills such as collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, information literacy. All of these are important to improve teaching styles. I chose creativity to tell you.

Creativity is the use of imagination and original ideas to create different things. Improving creativity and creative-thinking skill has immense practical benefits for both teachers and students.

Creativity promotes well-being and happiness. People who have the opportunity to express their creativity, learn in an easier and more enjoyable way. Students can learn how to be creative by solving problems, creating systems, or just trying something they haven’t tried before.As a student learns about their creativity, they also learn how to express it in healthy and productive ways. 

So are there any ways to improve creativity? Of course, yes. I listed some of the ways you can use to improve creativity. They are:

. Commit yourself to creativity 

. Take risks

. Trust yourself 

. Have time for creativity 

. Use brainstorm to find new ideas

. Use mind maps (You can use MindMeister) 

. Read more. 

See you in another post. 🙌💕💕

SAMR and TPACK Model

Hello everyone,

I hope you are fine and healthy. Today I will share information about SAMR and TPACK Models. We learned them in our Instructional Technologies lesson. They are models of seeing how computer technology might impact teaching and learning. I prepared some information about them on MindMeister and put my maps here. See you later, take care :)

Slowly - Connect to the World

Hello everyone,

Does anyone miss the past? I can hear you say yes. So let' s go to the past. I have a website for you to go to the past. It is Slowly.

Letters used to be a widely used communication method. I remember the letters I sent to my aunt. Actually, correspondence was enjoyable for me. Slowly enables us to correspondence. Match with someone that shares your passion, write a letter and collect stamps from around the world with Slowly. If you want, you can download its application. It is free.

How to use Slowly? 🤔🤔

. Either you can go to the website or you can download it. 

. You just need an avatar and a nickname. You can either manually browse user profiles or be "auto-matched" using an algorithm. 

. Start to enjoy with Slowly and meet new people. 

Remember this is a letter so it will take some time for the letters to arrive. The time taken by a message to be delivered depends on the distance between the sender and the recipient.

You can use these as your avatar. They are funny, are not they?
