Thinglink Review

     With Thinglink, you can make creative and very useful applications by making the images and videos you use in your lessons interactive. Thinglink is a web 2.0 tool that allows you to make your images interactive by adding images, videos, website links and texts on them. 

    As teachers, what can we achieve by using Thinglink in our classes? Lets answer this question;

* It is possible to access videos, links of related websites and pictures about the people, places or objects in the image. 

* Interactive concept maps can be made. The content (image, bideo, link, text) related to the sub-headings of the subject can be collected on a visual and the whole subject can be given. 

* Images prepared with Thinglink can be collected on the Padlet and digital boards containing the whole unit and the whole subject can be created. 

* In Thinglink, interactive videos can be prepared by using videos instead of images in the background and these videos can be used in the Flipped Training approach. In this way, you can add an image, description and link between the video. 

    What can be achieved by using Thinglink with our students? Lets answer this question too;

* We can ask our students to collect their resarch on a topic on a single platform using Thinglink.

* By distributing photos related to the subject to our students, we can ask everyone to make their photos interactive with Thinglink.

* They can make their portfolio work done here.

Constant connection to colleagues and the availability of a problem solving environment is cruicial in learning. Be it failing to understand a concept or finding relevant information for a certain subject, it is all possible through learners of your field. It presents an area of expanding knowledge.       To give an example to this, I will add some of my colleagues's blogs about instructional technologies who make similar content. With

IUC - UMA Collaboration (Valiant Project)

    First of all, I have to say that the collaboration with the Spanish students has been a wonderous experience for me. Let alone being able to create something new with people I didn't know prior to the project, it also helped me get to know new ethnicities and expand my knowledge about them.     The project started off with participants getting to know each other. In our case there was Audrey from France, Maria from Spain and us 3 friends from Turkey; Soner, Yakub and finally me, Görkem. The first meeting went very well where we first introduced ourselves to each other and asked questions to each other to really understand each other.      In the second meeting we were tasked with writing a text that described our language learning journey and the hardships that we went through as well as preparing questions about our friends's texts after reading them. Im guessing that this task's purpose was to let us learn more about each other as well as getting to know different edu
