FIRST WIKIING EXPERİENCE


Dallas Buyers Club 

    

    I've been reading wikis since my childhood, They are easily accessible on the internet, however; they cannot be trusted because any person who can use technology will be able to make changes without any approval about their validity. On the other hand, we can make use of wikis in our language classes for so many purposes like organizing a film club.

    I've never had a chance to review a film before but depending on my first experience I can say that it is definitely exciting. Dallas Buyers Club tells us a real-life story about a man with AIDS virus. After being diagnosed with  AIDS virus, he tries to find a way to save his cowboy life. First, he steals a drug called AZT which was at that time on trial. Later he found the cure which buys time for them. In order to avoid legal issues, he decides to form a club for other people suffering from the same disease.

My Final Post

My favorite task was the AR/VR based teaching material because what is more delightful than traveling and seeing new places while using a new language? My least favorite was the flipped-classroom teaching video because I don’t really like editing videos. If I have to make a...

CREATING A PODCAST

  Podcasting We actually created a podcast about relationships. We conducted this task with 17 people but only 10 of them were in the podcast. Most of the participants have a stable relationship and they're happy. That was the first time I created a podcast and had a lot of fun when completing the task. All of a sudden you run into the person and ask him/her a question that is a little private and also weird. I recorded voices for the task but later I realized that I'll definitely remember this as a memory later in my life. In my own opinion, the most difficult part of the task was the time limitation. In terms of educational purposes, I would like to use it in my classes if I happen to be a teacher. Creating a podcast is more entertaining than I used to think I enjoyed every single moment of this task. If I ever have a chance to assign this to my students I would like them to be more active in the process because they will have to practice oral skills and i...
