Mobile Beauties!

Hello everyone!Previous day, while I was thinking of how could I practise and how could I learn something about English effortlessly, I figured out that I had a phone and it was a smartphone!

I thought that there are lots of  infinite applications, from games to making foods. I thought that Why is not there a application that supplies my desires. After a little search, I realised that I  was not wrong! Actually, I did not have the faith about the application but when looked little bit more, I figured that how it was benefical.

What was the Application!


The name of the application which I found was Babbel. It is a appliation that has colourful and funny appearance. 
It has the shorcut image like that. It is paid application and also there is demo one.




How can I use this application?


Indeed, using the Babbel is not difficult. Application leads us already. The most intereseting part that draw my attentiın is giving samples from daily life and teach some certain patterns by that way. Actually, it is really appropriate for the ones that go abroad regularly and even better for making yourself understood in countries that you can not speak their language.
It makes information permanent by supporting the given information with visuals. This is nice but according to me that while learning a language, we should not depend upon memorizing. Because for a moment we see that we forget the patterns that we memorised. On the other hand, it is really appropriate application for those who learn the language for the first time. Have funny in advance !

Digital Story

In this trailer, we have tried to create a digital story with Bora. This story is mainly based on whether our bond of friendship is strong or weak. There is a huge discrepancy between our jocund appearance and real situation, which creates tension in the story. The trailer is mostly about this tension and the sustainability of our friendship. While making this trailer, we had lots of fun but at the same time we thought that this kind of an activity is quite contributing to our improvement because it is useful both in terms of using technology actively and having a self-reflection. Thanks to this activity, we had the opportunity to see the strengths and weaknesses of our speaking ability. Furthermore, we gained lots of insight about benefiting from technology in our way of teaching because students not only have fun but also learn the desired outcomes simultaneously with the help of this activity.We kept those ideas in our minds while making this trailer and had a great time. We hope you enjoy it!
