Before ending my post, I want to share my thoughts about podcasting. At first I was a little bit nervous about my intonation and pronunciaton, but when I started recording, I felt relieved. Actually I really enjoyed it and I think I will be using podcasting in the future, for my students. As listening is an important method for learning a foreign language, I think podcasting could be beneficial for listening activities.
And no, I didn't find it difficult, it took 10 minutes or so for me to finish it. I highly recommend everyone podcasting!

My Favorite Web 2.0 Tools!

Hello! I've created an infographic about 5 of my favorite web tools which should be used by all teachers and students. The website I used   to create the infographic. Hello! I've created an infographic about 5 of my favorite web tools which should be used by all teachers and students.  First of them is Edmodo which we are already using in three courses this term. On Edmodo, our teachers inform us about class schedules, projects, videos we are supposed to watch, etc. The second one is Grammarly. As I mentioned on the infographic, it helps the users to correct their mistakes when they are writing something. Students can use Grammarly to correct their spelling mistakes for their homework.  Kahoot! allows mostly teachers to create games or quizzes based on the topic of the lesson. And students can participate in the lesson with their mobile phones, computers or tablets. Padlet , as I mentioned in one of my previous posts, allows the teacher...
