AUGMENTED REALITY

HELLO EVERYONE !

Today’s post will be about something really interesting. I enjoyed every minute while preparing it and I hope you will all like and use it !

I was assigned to create a teaching material integrating augmented reality. Basically Augmented reality (AR) refers to a simple combination of real and virtual (computer-generated) worlds. One of the most popular game which is called “Pokemon” is one of the examples of AR.

First we started our project by creating our groups. My workmate was Aslı (You can find her blog below.) We had 2 options to choose and we decided to choose option 1 which is exploring a city abroad. We wanted to introduce Norway and used application called ARize for this. I highly recommend ARize. It’s very simple to use and if you have any problems customer service is helping you 7/24. To be honest , at first creating your own augmented reality seemed really hard but after getting used to the styles/ programs and websites , it became easier. One of the difficulties we had was about youtube videos. Because of the privacy , it was very hard to use youtube video links. We solved the problem by downloading the video. Beside the difficulties , it was really awesome task , pretty funny and creative , very useful especially for language teachers as well.

You can find the link to our project , a video which we showed how the system works and Aslı’s blog below.

HELLO EVERYONE !

Today's post is about a corpus task. Corpus (plural corpara) is a collection of written texts, especially the entire works of a particular author or a body of writing on a particular subject. I wanted to design a worksheet about count and non-count nouns via Canva. Because it's an important topic and most of the students get confused on this topic. I wanted my students discover the topic so I gave them 3 different exercise types.
