Hi, there my lovely beautiful lodestars! πŸ™‹πŸŒŸ I cannot say how happy I am to write a post for you guys again.πŸ˜‡πŸ˜€ It's been so long, the summer vacation passed, and I had fits and starts... πŸ˜“πŸ˜• Thus, I did not even write about anything.. But, then an opportunity came to me with the support of my lovely friend "Munise", we had a chance to go to Antalya in order to attend a beautiful project which is called "P21" . We had lectures about; 21st Century Skills (4Cs), Meeting &Harmony Activities, Critical Thinking and Problem Solving,  Communication and Collaboration, Creativity, Productivity and Accountability, Leadership and Responsibility, Initiative and Self-Directed Learning. Now, I am going to talk about them one by one.

The Last Words..

Hey there, Lodestars! πŸ™‹πŸŒŸ I know the title may seem a bit depressing, but no worries, hopefully, I am not going anywhere.πŸ˜ŒπŸ’“ Today, I am not planning to introduce anything new guys. I just want to talk about what we have been discussing so far, and have a little look at the past. 🌻 Let's start from the beginning... ⌛ πŸ”–When I first met with the blogger, it was the beginning of the second term. (Thanks to our teacher in Instructional Technologies and Material Design Lecture πŸ™πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‡πŸ’–) πŸ”–By the time our teacher was introducing the lecture and the blogger, I was very skeptical and scared. Because I hadn't had this kind of a lecture before and I mean "we were talking about the technology". (And, I should admit that I was one of the "technology fraidy cats"😒. But, here I am. I've tried and I love it! πŸ™ŒπŸ’πŸ˜»)  πŸ”–Then, our teacher started to introduce our tasks and I found myself mesmerized by the tools that we had been learning.  πŸ”–I was so ...

My New Reminder // RSS FEEDREADER

Hello, it's me..πŸ™ŒπŸ™† I was wondering if after all these hours you guys would like to meet again with another topic. {Thanks to Adele}πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚ πŸ’£πŸ’₯ RSS FEEDREADER  (You may download it by clicking on.) ➤It can sound a bit unfamiliar to you guys who do not know this software. (Believe me, at first I did not hear about it either.πŸ˜…) But, do not afraid everyone, because we are going to discuss it in details. πŸ‘»A bit cut-and-dry but firstly let's start with the real meaning of FeedReader: FeeadReader is the oldest personal desktop RSS reader with a history of more than ten years.

INFOGRAPHICS

Image
Have a nice day, Lodestars! πŸ˜ŠπŸ™‹πŸŒŸ Today, we have another exciting topic, which is "Infographics" . πŸ””First, let's start with the definition of infographics and some examples of it.πŸ’   Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge intended to present information quickly and clearly. (Wikipedia)   By using infographics we can create mind maps and make the informations reader-friendly.     Here, below I've found infographic samples.πŸ‘‡ Example 1 Example 2 πŸ’­When we examine the examples,we can clearly see that while creating an infographic; We summarize the topic that we intend to create an infographic. We use relevant visuals. We create a reader friendly homogeneous background.  ➤I should admit that as a hundred percent visual learner, colours and pictures are so important for me when I study. In my daily life, when I prepare "study notes" for my language lectures, I use so many colours...

Hey, Hey, Hey, Look At My Movie Poster!

Hi there everyone!πŸ™‹πŸ‘»  You can guess from the title that I am getting famous..πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜πŸ‘€   I know you did not believe it and said "You are joking, right?" Well, of course I am.πŸ˜‚ However, technically the title is not wrong. I did my own movie poster, but not mine for sure. I made a poster for one of my favorite books "The Martian". While making my poster, I should admit I felt like I am the one who is going to produce this movie. πŸ˜€πŸ“Ή Firstly, I've started to search for a proper tool for me to create a poster. Believe me guys, when I wrote "Poster Maker Tools" on Google, I've found hundreds of results, and out of them I chose PosterMyWall  . At first, it took my time a bit to figure out the tool, but after 15 minutes I started to create my poster.    I should say that I fell in love with some features of the tool. For instance, my biggest problem was to crop images in order to make a homogeneous atmosphere or appearance and then, I found out tha...
