The Wiki Project

This week we were supposed to recommend one of our favorite books by creating a page in ourfavouritebooks wiki site. I chose the novel, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.

Since this was the first time I had encountered wiki getting used to the tools was kind of tedious. However, after several trial and error occasions you get used to them and editing a wiki page becomes as easy as editing a word document. There are many advantages of using wiki sites. You can post comments, you can edit typing errors or wrong information. It is another beautiful projection of opensource information community.
I would like to mention a difficulty that I came across during the creation process. I  made a typing error while creating the page title and the system did not allow me to fix because I did not have the permission to fix it. But other then that everything else is fine.

I hope my recommendation page incites you to read the book. Enjoy it!

THE TWILIGHT CHAOS

This week we were supposed to prepare podcasts, and we had 3 different options; record a chant, a myth or a sound rich story with our own voices and we were asked to study in pairs. My workmate was Büşra Özdemir in this project. We created the story and started to record it. Before trying to record it, in fact, we did not realize that it would be that much difficult to do. There were different characters with different genders and we were two females, that's why it was harder than we thought. Also, we had to record it many many times till we were satisfied with our performance. However, we shared the dialogues and finally could record it. I have to confess that we really had fun during this process. Here is the story, enjoy!

Why did I decide to blog about ELT?

Hi!
This is my first blog. I'll be blogging about online sources for English language learning and teaching.  As the technology develops at a dizzy pace and accessing these technologies gets affordable day by day sources for English learning and teaching abound. However, people do not have that much time to be able to scrutinize each and every single source. Therefore, I decided to publish a blog site about these new technologies ,web sites and tools in accordance with my study involvements. I hope my projects will provide you with applicable examples.Wish you an enjoyful journey...
