A DIGITAL THREAT: CYBERBULLYING ( INFOGRAPHIC)

-

 Recently, our Instructional Technologies and Material Design in English Language teacher Mustafa Polat showed us some useful tools for using technology for teaching. One of these tools was a great way of informing people about a topic named "Infographic". After introducing Infographics, he wanted us to choose one of the several topics about ethical and legal issues in technology use.  As a future teacher, ı am terrified of the issue of cyberbullying. After spending years on social media, game platforms, and messaging apps, my experiences show that cyberbullying is a serious subject. people feel depressed, become asocial, and create anger among the people they did not meet in person. After mentioning these circumstances, i believe the topic that i chose is quite obvious. 


Designing an infographic about cyberbullying was both fun and challenging for me. Since it was the first time that i used an infographic, i started to search for a website where i could create an infographic. After a quick surf on the internet,  i found the site Pinkchart. I opened a new account on Pinkchart and looked for some infographics other people created. After seeing other people's creativity, i opened a blank infographic page and started to add some notes via the information on my research about cyberbullying. The challenging part was the designing part. Adding 3D animations, illustrations, and using other design features was quite challenging because it was my first time experiencing infographics. After finishing the infographic, which can be visited by pressing here, or scrolling below, the satisfaction of Producing an instructive work with great visuals was actually great.


I hope this writing can be helpful for those who want to share information with infographics.

Lesson plan Using Corpus

 In our recent ELT project, as a group of 4, we designed a lesson plan using the ASSURE model, drawing from Unit 4: Nature and Animals in CorpusMate. Guided by our instructor, Mustafa Polat, we aimed to create an engaging and practical teaching resource. I, Muhammed Emir özbek , Hüseyin Obut , and Emir Batu Özdemir  put great effort into this project. The task involved developing a structured plan to integrate multimedia resources with clear instructional strategies. Our material emphasized interactive activities, focusing on students' engagement with vocabulary-related words of nature and animals. Creating the material was a collaborative effort. We began by analyzing the needs of the learners, ensuring our activities aligned with the lesson objectives. Using CorpusMate's resources, we selected authentic texts and tasks to make the material relatable and meaningful. The ASSURE model helped us carefully sequence the steps: analyzing learners, stating objectives, selecting...

  (Photo by: Vecteezy) Hello everyone. As you can see above, I'm meeting with you to write another new material. Thanks to Our teacher Mustafa Polat and my group ( Muhammed Emir Özbek , Emir Batu Özdemir, and Hüseyin Obut) , i had a chance to use Artificial intelligence to help me with materials.  My group members and I created a material that we wanted students to write about their favourite places they visited. While asking them to do that, we also wanted them to scan the QR code and send their writings to Chat-GPT for their grammar (conjunctions) and writing evaluation. After the evaluation. we asked students to create a revised version of their writings. We wanted them to revise it to a new form with the help of Chat-GPT evaluations and recommendations.  After they had written their revised papers, we asked them some questions that would help them share their experiences with the writings and the help of Chat-GPT. I believe this material can be really helpful in intr...

Creating an AR/VR integrated teaching material

(Photo by:  Italian Dual Citizenship) Hello again everyone! this blog post will be about Augmented Reality (AR). Thanks to my teacher Mustafa Polat, we ( Muhammed Emir Özbek , Emir Batu Özdemir, and Hüseyin Obut ) had this great opportunity to use this technology in our ELT lesson.  Exploring AR and VR in language learning opens up exciting possibilities.  While AR is ideal for vocabulary building and basic skills, VR shines in facilitating deeper conversational practice. However, these technologies come with challenges—from cost and technical difficulties to concerns about distraction and isolation. When used thoughtfully, their strengths can significantly enhance the learning experience.  To create a dynamic and engaging experience, We incorporated videos, 3D models, and 360-degree content, all accessible through QR codes on a worksheet. This approach allowed students to explore the city’s highlights virtually and interactively. To deepen their learning, We develo...
