with Fulya Muldur Donnelly, Terakki Foundation Schools, Turkey
Description:
I am one of the lucky teachers in Turkey as the school I work at is very willing to implement technology into education. I make use of Wikis, Blogs, Nings, Gro.ups pages, online exercises (Hot Potatoes), Moodle, etc. They are all very useful to help students with their ICT, life, and learning and thinking skills.
Last year my colleagues and I decided to take it to the next level where our students could work collaboratively to produce their own media to communicate themselves. We decided to use our 60-minute social club hour to achieve our objectives. The result was incredible. In one year, sticking to our plan, we created a website for the Thinkquest Website Competition. This year, we have already entered Students Speak! Countdown to Copenhagen Contest, and we are still working on Adobe Youth Voices program to produce our media piece.
In my presentation, I would like to share our experience, the plan we followed, the skills my students gained, the objectives we achieved and the difficulties we have had so far in our social club hour.
