VIRTUAL REALITY

   VR is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment which can be interacted with a person. It can be used for education because of it's usefulness for teaching something more effectively. Since it provides a real environment which can make students to learn better. Besides new generation students are digital natives and are appealed by this kind of things and get motivated easily.
    After I experienced VR in classroom, I thought that it can be used in language classes. We can teach the subjects that can be learned easily by seeing and experiencing. They can be more exposed to language. Another point is that VR increases students' creativity and allows them to interact with their imagination. Furthermore it has too many opportunities to make different activities like games (like catching, drawing, matching words), group works, competitions between students.
   VR can be future education tool so every teacher should be aware of it's importance.

My First Online Certificate

  Hello everyone, today I'm going to give you some websites that you can find online courses about every field. Firstly they are very easy to use. You create an account then find the course you want to take and watch their videos or read the things they gave you. Then you complete your course.
There are two types of courses. First one is free, you don't pay anything but you can't have original certificate. They just send you it by e-mail. You can't print it even if you do, it's not same as original one. And second one is premium. You pay some money, sum of which changes according to course. And they send you the original certificate which has wet signature and value.
  I took a course with Udemy and it was the free one. It was about "How to Make More Money Teaching English" because I'm a student of English language teaching. Here is my online certificate. And I gave you some other websites where you can find online courses.




SECOND LIFE

  As we all know old teaching techniques, such as course books are not qualified enough to teach a subject. As teachers we should involve the students to course as much as possible. To do this we can get their attention by different teaching tools like Second life.
  It is based on virtual reality. People can create their avatar and change their locations by teleporting. They can talk with people and improve their knowledge by this. Students can find new friends on this platform and improve their English. Besides it attracts students' interest to the lessons, make them more active and increase their motivation. In this way they would be more successful and their knowledge would be more permanent. I think this platform should be used by teachers to make their students proficient in every area of their life.

  I made my own character and wander around with her. You can see the pictures I took.
