  WEEK 12 • Where (in which stage)  digital storytelling fits within a lesson plan promotes acquisition of the learning outcome(s).   Digital storytelling can be used effectively at various stages in a lesson plan and encourages the acquisition of learning outcomes for each stage. At the beginning of the lesson, digital storytelling can be used to arouse students' curiosity and interest in the subject of the lesson. In this way, students gain initial information about the content of the lesson and their motivation to learn increases. This process provides students with the opportunity to reflect on their own learning process and see areas where they are lacking. Digital storytelling, as an effective tool in these stages, increases students' active participation and ensures that learning outcomes are permanent. • Digital storytelling serves as a powerful vehicle for technology integration, enabling individuals to create, share, and engage with multimedia stories a...

  WEEK 11(WORDWALL)   1) Describe how you developed assessment tool (e.g. kahoot, wordwall) activity? I developed the 5 senses activity suitable for preschoolers with interactive assessment tools  Wordwall. 1) Visuals and Sounds: I used colorful visuals and voice prompts related to senses to help students better understand the topic. 2) Various Question Types: I attracted students' attention with different question types such as multiple choice, true/false, and matching. 3) Short and Fun: I made the activity fun by keeping the questions short and increasing students' interest with rewards. 4) Feedback: I supported students' learning process by giving correct answers. In this way, I made the subject of the 5 senses both educational and entertaining. I designed the activity in a way that is suitable for the preschool period by actively, interactively and visibly improving the learning processes of the students. 2) How did you decide statements/questions?  I determined ...

    WEEK 10 (SURVEY)   • Describe how you developed Survey activity? How did you decide questions/statements? When preparing a survey about sensory organs in preschool, I took care to use questions that were appropriate for the children's age level, understandable, and concrete. I explained the functions of each sensory organ in a way that children could easily understand, making connections to daily life. When determining the questions, I based them on concrete experiences that children might encounter in their daily lives.  For example, which of our senses do we use to smell a beautiful flower? I also took care to use simple and understandable language, avoided complex expressions, and kept the questions short so that children could easily understand them. I paid attention to making the survey interactive. I supported the activity with visuals and concrete materials, so that the questions became more meaningful and children could better grasp their sensory percep...

 WEEK 8 (COMICS)     Describe how you developed ComicStrip activity. I developed my comicstrip activity in accordance with my lesson plan. Here is the topic I covered in my lesson plan: sensory organs. I addressed our 5 senses for preschool children and which effects we can perceive with which sense organ, and I designed a cartoon accordingly.  There are dialogues between a nose and an ear in my cartoon. I put a nose cartoon and a talking ear cartoon in order to attract children's attention. The content of the cartoon is as follows; ear asks nose how/with which sense organ can we perceive the taste of hot coffee, and the nose says of course with our nose and tries to perceive hot coffee with its nose sense, but it fails.  When ear sees this, it laughs and says "Haha, I tried that, of course we can't understand the temperature of coffee with our nose" and laughs. When the nose hears this, it gets upset and mentions that its nose hurts. In this way, I aim to tea...

     WEEK 7 (CANVA)   1.   Describe how you developed your Canva activity. What stage have you reached this week on the Canva activity? What parts of Canva remain to be be done ?  I used simple and cute characters for each sense organ. A nose character for the nose, another figure for the ear, another drawing for the hands, etc. Each of these characters was placed in a way that explained how that sense works.  For example, with a text that said, "I hear sounds with my ears," my figure representing the eyes was watching something. I wrote short and simple explanations about each sense organ so that children could easily understand them.  I used capital letters in the texts, so they were easier to read. Each text included a fun explanation of what that sense organ did, for example: "I discover wonderful things by smelling!" I used symbols and icons to explain the sense organs more clearly. Such as an eye symbol for seeing, a nose symbol for smelling...

WEEK 5  WHAT I LEARNED? First, I thought about the purpose of content sharing by setting up a blog page. The primary purpose of content production was to interact with readers and share information. In this way, I realized that I could express myself by writing articles on topics that interested me. I learned that I needed to keep my blog posts updated regularly. Adding new content is an important factor in attracting my readers and establishing a continuous connection with them. One of the biggest challenges I faced in the blogging process was that regular content production was time-consuming. It was challenging for me to make evaluations and write prompts on every topic and information we covered in the course.  Coursera is an online education platform and offers students courses in various fields by collaborating with universities around the world. These courses are usually in different subjects such as technology, business, art, health. We, the students, can follow the ...
