STOP BULLYING!!! Hello, every being with a heartbeat! How are you? I've been fine, but this new project of mine made me a little upset. Today's topic is something that almost every single human being experiences at least once in their life. Bullying. The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes bullying as the abuse and mistreatment of someone vulnerable by someone stronger, more powerful, etc. As we were given a task in our class, we chose to raise awareness about this issue. The task was to create a video that was telling about something. Our options were making a PSA, explaining how a thing is made, or making up our own story. Nilgün , Zeynep , and I decided to make a PSA to raise awareness about bullying because it affects or has affected everyone at some point in their lives. We did not want to shoot a video of ourselves and edit it; instead, we recorded our voices separately on my laptop, then our exp...
AR, VR, Vroom...? Hello, every being with a heartbeat. How are you? I'm nervous thanks to my final exams being right out the door. Yet today's topic and assignment were a delight to prepare. What is it, you are saying? Today's post discusses integrating AR and VR into our classrooms. Yes, our classrooms. For this and all of the activities this year we have been working like actual teachers preparing for their students. But first, what does Ar and VR mean?

Their difference lies within their names; only real places that exist on our planet have a place in AR whereas VR is almost completely programmed and connected to computer technology and artificial. You may remember the first time VR headsets came out, some people were scared that they were going to be possessed by them (the big ...
I'm Not Crying....You Are! Hello for the last time, again, every being with a heartbeat. I hope you are doing well. Dress tight, drink lots of water, and relax a bit. It's break time. We gathered here again to say our goodbyes. I have had amazing times writing for you and explaining things to you. It has been a short journey this time, yet it was filled to the brim, I believe. This year, I created posts for my Current Issues in English teaching class. This class was not really what I expected. Hearing the name of the class, I thought it was going to be about literal issues like students not liking English, inheriting the "They should learn my language, not me learning theirs," or some other more socio-cultural topics. Everything we learned about has been extremely useful for me, considering the future. This was not just a simple how-to-teach class; it was literally how to do anything in this devel...
