I always think being a teacher is a special job that limited people can do. You need to be intellectual, wise, kind, caring and you always have to improve yourself. You always have to catch the time and what happens around you, you have to be up-to-date. Once one of my favorite teachers said to us, "Being a teacher actually is about overflowing." First, I didn’t understand what did he mean. He added, "The more you are full, the more you overflow and you will be sharing your wisdom. If you are an empty person, you have nothing go share because you can't overflow, you are empty." This was the first time that I thought maybe I can't be a good teacher at all. When I first saw the virtual assistant, I felt the same. Because it is able to do whatever I am able to do. Actually even better versions. For example, if I want to create a lesson plan, I have to spend one day to make a good one. If I am experienced enough, it will be there to four hours. But it will take...

Learning means the improvement of someone's knowledge, skills and attitudes over time. In addition to that, it's a natural and one of the basic functions of the brain. But, beside being a basic function, learning doesn't occur simply: It occurs after repetition. Hearing or seeing something once is not enough for learning so, learner should repeat time to time, because periodic repetition have a major efrfect on learning process. And also, brain spens most of its energy shile learning, so learning can't occur without energy. I guess this is the reason why elders say, "If you don't eat anything, your head won't work."  There are three parts of the brain that are localized for learning an each one of them are responsible for something else. First, Hippocampus; it is responsible for learning and memory. Second, Amygdala; it is responsible for emotions and reactiveness. And also it secretes stress hormone. Third and last one is Nucleus Accumbens; it is resp...

Hi! Today, I will be talking about what is padlet and I will try my best to define it. Padlet is a collaborative web platform that allows users to construct and share digital boards or "walls" where they may add and organize various types of content. It provides a virtual environment in which individuals or groups can collect, curate, and collaborate on ideas, information, and resources. It has a user-friendly interface and many features that may be customized. Padlet is the perfect platform for brainstorming sessions, collaborative projects, note-taking, and content curation since users can simply add text, photographs, videos, links, documents, and other multimedia elements to their boards. Participants are engaged and encouraged to actively participate thanks to Padlet's aesthetically appealing structure. As a potent instrument for promoting student collaboration, Padlet has grown significantly in popularity in the field of education. It enables teachers to design coll...

There are a lots of digital platforms used in education. Because it makes things easier for both students and teachers. Teching environment completely changes when the technology is involved, and also it is easier for teachers to get attention from their students in that way. And also there are plenty of websites and platforms used in education. And seesaw is one of them. Let's have a quick look to seesaw.  Seesaw is essentially a digital portfolio platform created for use in education, as I have stated. It gives pupils a safe online area to present their work and record their learning. Students can produce multimedia content using Seesaw, including images, videos, drawings, and written reflections. And it is easier for students to remmeber visuals so it is an advantage. By empowering users to take charge of their education, the platform increases student engagement. Students can document their educational experiences and present them to parents, teachers, and peers. They can evalu...
