IMPROVE LANGUAGE TEACHING & LEARNING

        This week, I have explored the Magic School AI  tools as a part of my Instructional Technology assignment. And I loved this tool, and I also explored the teacher tools. Magic School AI  provides dozens of very helpful tools for not only teachers but also the learners and I think in every school we should benefit from these tools to enhance our students' education.      In this assignment I have used Character Chatbot tool to have a conversation with J.K. Rowling , my favorite author. I picked an interesting topic; “Magic and Human Psychology.” I was really surprised how the tool really felt like I am talking to the authors herself. Chatbot often overcame my really hard questions and gave a lot of quotes from Harry Potter books. Interestingly throughout the process chatbot kept its role fine and always tried to generate answers like J.K. Rowling.      After having this beautiful chat, I wrote a report about this exper...

         İrem, Naz, and I collaborated to write a film review for the Japanese animated movie Your Name, directed by Makoto Shinkai. We were tasked with writing a 400-word review in collaboration, following 'a clear structure' including background, plot summary, technical aspects and overall evaluation. A common Google Docs page was created and we used it to brainstorm ideas, share tasks, and edit each other's contributions.      We gained a lot from collaborative writing. Most importantly it gave us the chance to see some error we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Feedback have actually lifted some weights on our shoulder because we did not have to try to make it perfect by ourselves. We have just wrote it and improved it to our standards by givin each other feedback. Every one of us was gifted with a unique skill set, whether it was plot analysis or technical aspects like music and cinematography. The diversity in our final assessment contributed t...

       For our assignment, my friend Naz and I produced a 2-minute fictional story video. The plot revolved around two princes where one was brave but foolish while the other was smart but cowardly. Their father, the king, ordered them to go defeat a dragon. In the end, they learned some other things.      We began with a joint story writing session. After, we narrated and recorded the audio. Naz took the role of the narrator and I voiced the princes. To improve the cleanliness of our audio, we used  Cleanvoice AI  which is effective in background noise reduction.        With  Storyboard That , we created 34 different scenes which we termed visually as parts to a story. Using audio from  Pixabay , we searched for sound effects and music, especially medieval and fairy tale themed music to add more soul into the video.  Kdenlive  was used to combine the audio recording with sound effects, music, and ...

    We created a short fictional podcast for this project. The podcast is explicitly titled The Wallet in The Forest. In the story, two characters are followed as they discover a mysterious wallet while walking through the woods, and this seemingly simple object slowly turns into a chilling mystery for them. Eerie tales with unexpected twists as well as memories of exploring quiet forests inspired us. This image was created by ChatGPT   Throughout that entire process, we  have collaborated with my mate upon each individual step, we wrote the entirety of the script, we recorded each bit of dialogue, and we edited all of the audio with ambient forest sound effec ts in order to build atmosphere. The final version of the audio was edited by us through the utilization of CapCut . It’s mainly a video editor. Furthermore, it additionally helped us to thoroughly trim the silences, properly adjust the pacing, and smoothly blend in the sound effects that we have used Pixabay ...

     With the intention of bringing awareness to the issue of cyberbullying, I have prepared an infographic that contains vital details regarding the issue in the topic. The aim was to make the issue more impactful while also accessible so that people could pay attention towards the issue. I created the infographic on Visme and then embedded it in my Blogger site. Choosing the Topic     In the modern technology driven era, cyberbullying is one of the foremost issues. The victims tend to suffer from severe emotional or psychological trauma which makes it essential to teach people the ways to identify, recognize, and prevent it. The infographic that I designed elaborates on the concept of cyberbullying, its impacts, and preventative measures to take while surfing the net. Design Experience and Challenges     From my Visme account I made use of a professional template and created a design that aligned with my content. One of the iss...
