My Way On OADL

Resim
 Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to talk about my own process in OADL (Open and Distance Learning). Before this lesson I take for the last semester, I was not aware of the variety of the technological tools and creative activities so much. With this lesson, I can say that I have become more proficient in the use of technology, and I have learned how to integrate technology into the foreign language lessons in an efficient way more.  Now, I would like to share what contributed me the most in my process; 1)  Thanks to the 'Can/Can't Do' statements, I have learned my strengths and weaknesses or lacks in the use of technological tools/applications.

Kelly Holmes My sporting hero is Kelly Holmes, an athelete. She won two gold medals at the 2004 summer Olympics. She is the first British woman who done this. Kelly was born in 1970 near London and she started running when she was twelve. Her early career was not easy. She had bad luck with injuries and she often felt depressed. But at the age of thirthy-four, Kelly won her first gold medal at the Athens Olympics. Everyone was amazed – especially Kelly! A few days later, she won another gold medal. She suddenly became a national hero. I like her becasue she is always very friendly to her fans and she inspired a lot of young people to achieve their dreams.

 Hello guys, it is Rümi! I hope everything is fine for you. I would like to share a topic with you today, it is Infographic. ◾️ What is Infographic?   〰  I nfographic is a series of imagery, charts, and minimal texts that gives people the opportunity to have a quick impression and prior knowledge about a topic or information. Infographics are handy and valuable tools because they pull our attention towards subjects and bear them in our minds. You need to use your all creativity to create an infographic as the primary objective is to make people excited and direct to the subject unwittingly. Infographics can be used for any reason like explaining a complex topic, summarizing a lesson or a repot, promoting an advertisement, etc. Some applications to create infographics: ⚪️ My Own Experience 〰  I used Canva to create an infographic, and my infographic is about a language learning application, Duolingo. I hope it catches your attention. Here it is: Bye!
