My Podcast and Vidcast

Hello my dear readers,

We can define the podcast as "Voice blogging". Because each podcast episode is actually an audio content that deals with a different subject. Podcast, literally, is a combination of the words "broadcast" and pod. In fact, it is a name that comes from the fact that live broadcasts are broadcast on demand, when desired. I created a podcast about the advantages of learning a foreign language. If you wish, you can click on the link and listen.

Socrative

Hello everyone, 

Socrative is an online test application that can be applied simultaneously inside or outside the classroom. When the test is over, you can get instant reports based on class, student or question. An application called Socrative Student and Socrative Teacher can be used in two different ways. 

The student does not need to be a member in the Socrative Student application. A student who opens the Socrative application with a mobile phone, tablet, computer, etc. needs only the room number given by the teacher. After the student enters the room, he can answer the questions as soon as the teacher starts the test.

The Socrative Teacher is the platform where the teacher will prepare his questions and apply the test. Three different types of questions can be prepared as multiple choice, true-false and short-answer questions.

I opened an account and prepared a quiz. This is screenshot of my work on Socrative. 

If you click the link, you can see my questions on the website.
