MY RSS FEEDER EXPERİENCE

I have heard about it before but I have not used it.It is a software which allows you to follow many blogs:RSS FEEDER. RSS is acronym for Really Simple Syndication.If you are following many blogs,instead of controlling them every day whether they have been  updated or not,you can set up RSS Feeder and it checks them for you and displays the new notifications.

I follow some blogs about cooking,travelling,comedy,education and teaching English.After setting up RSS Feeder,I have realized that I have not long entered most of the sites which I follow also some of them have not been updated for a long time so RSS gives you opportunity to make analysis like these  on the websites you follow.



You can see some of the websites and blogs which  I follow and there is a new notification for me :)


Above is the way of adding new link onto RSS Feeder.You click on the ''+''  botton on the left side of the page for adding link,then copy the link,paste and click ''Search''.However there are some websites which do not allow you to add to RSS Feeder for different reasons.




 Above you can see a notificaton of an educational blog An English Teacher;Özge Karaoğlu is owner of this blog,I think this blog is worthwhile following for preservice teacher like us.She introduces useful and interesting technological tools for language learning students especially young learners and gives ideas and suggestions  to the teachers .Life long learning is indispensible for a teacher so you can benefit  from this blog for lasting your learning.It is inspiring!

Do not forget:A good teacher is a good student!!!



 Lastly,this blog is one of my last findings.Nowadays,I am spending my time studying on it.First of all,it is for learning English and it makes it in an eccentric way :) You both learn English and laugh:). :):) of course if you understand the joke but don' t worry because it explains why the joke is funny.By these  cartoons and jokes,students learn more about English culture and get familiar with English idiomatic expressions.The blog says ''Idioms are the weirdest part of English language.They never mean what they say.''The blog wants you to look at the picture and guess about the meaning.Guessing games take part in many parts of teaching and learning period therefore this website is an unusual source for this.

Here is an example from the blog.It gives idiomatic meaning,literal meaning,usage,origin of the idiom.It explains why the cartoon is funny.Also,sample sentences which are given make your understanding better.


Please,inform me if you find such eccentric websites for English language learning.I am really eager to hear about it.What about you?

ARE YOU A 21.CENTURY TEACHER/LEARNER? As everthing in the world,education has changed as well.New teaching methods and approaches have appeared in 21.century thus 21.century learning has become different than classic learning in the past.Instead of teacher-centered classrooms,emphasis has been placed on students.Teachers'role has changed.In the past,the role of the teacher was to teach about the language grammar but today their roles are to teach to use the language in real life,to help them develop communicative competence,creativity and critical thinking skills.Also in 21.century,as society has changed and globalization  has let the people connect easily,collaboration has been put forward as a must in student-centered classroom. Let's sum up these inseparable learning and innovation skills in a diagram:                                               ...

MY PODCAST EXPERİENCE and PODCAST EFFECT İN THE CLASSROOMS Hello there! This week,my assignment is to create a podcast in which to come up with an inspiring idea to make the world a better world to live in and tell about it in 60 seconds.It is obvious that it will be a different and exciting experience(or assignment) comparing to other assignments.First of all, I referred to the link in which you can find inspiring,controversial idea from a global thinker from the world of philosophy,science,pyschology and arts.Some of the podcasts have fantastic ideas,some of them have possible ideas to realize however all of them are imaginary. As for my idea,some news which I have heard about recently has affected me.It was about a 16 -year- old Swedish environment activist Greta Thunberg.Experts say that if we do nothing to halt climate change it will be the cause of wars,conflict and refugees and Greta has launched a massive movement against global warming.She encourages the students to ...
