News! I Started a Training Course on 21st Century Skills ✋


       Merhaba everyone, long time no see! After our courses on Materials Design and Educational Technologies, I couldn't have a chance, time, and motivation to come back here, even though I had a lot to share. I have learned so much at school, I started volunteering at TEGV again, and I traveled to Bucharest/Romania as a part of an international project with the AIESEC program last year. (I promise I will share the details on what I learned, such a rewarding experience it was), Covid-19, online classes, new job, applying for erasmus+ projects, etc. This was a very brief summary believe me :) Let's not wander off...
 
    Now, I have a good reason to come back here. I participated in a research study titled “Integrating 21st Century Skills Training With Project-Based Learning to Cultivate EFL Pre-service Teachers’Professional Skills”, carried out by Melda Yılmaz as part of Bahçeşehir University English Language Education Ph.D. Program in Istanbul, Turkey. So basically it is a teacher training program and we as senior students of ELT have been invited to participate. At first, I was not sure if I had enough time but also I really wanted to attend as 21st Century Skills overall are very trending and up-to-date topics. Moreover, the training refers to media literacy and digital skills which are the main topic of the erasmus+ youth mobility project we have applied for. 

    The training, in general terms, includes critical thinking, collaboration skills, and digital skills. It requires a bit of time to complete readings, reflect on, attend the sessions, and do the assignments. However, I believe it will totally worth the experience. Therefore, I'm thankful for our trainer Melda Yılmaz and Assist. Prof. Dilek Inal for making this possible for us. I will be updating my blog every week for what I've learned in sessions.

    Follow me! Stay positive and test negative :) Take care!

Easy way to learn! Online Courses

Hola Learnivores! I have been interested in online courses recently. Then I said to myself, why don't I share this with my Learnivores? With those courses, you don't necessarily have to go somewhere or sometimes even pay. The websites have a range of courses from coding to drawing and I have finished one on photography. Some of the websites' courses are accredited so you can have your certificate and add it on your cv etc. Here are some of them: https://www.coursera.org/ https://www.edx.org/ https://www.udacity.com/ https://www.udemy.com/ . Here is my certificate on Photography Fundamentals for Beginners from Udemy:
