The maker movement began first in 1900 as art&crafts and than ,in 1960 it was known as ' HACK' ,in 1990 they named it :DIY(do it yourself) and after 2005 it changed its name as Maker Movement.While I was searching on the net aboout this movement I read one of quotoes that I want to  share with you ; There is something calming or reassuring or relaxing that happens when you build something with your hands.You ve just made something bigger than yourself You are not just being a consumer anymore ‘’ Andrew Sliwinski quoted in the New york Times (2011)I totally agree with this sentences,doing something with your own is really something different it doesn’t matter how old you are..even if you are a child in kindergarden or a person at your 30s if you create something by your own,it becomes more meaningful for you. After we came to 21st century technology improved amazingly, our fear of technolgy often stems from not undertsanding how it work...

Computational thinking will be a fundamental skill used by everyone in the World by the middle of the 21st century ‘.If I heard this sentence when I was in primary school I probbaly think that its totally nonsense.But when we think our century, its just like reading, writing and arithmetic. Imagining every child knowing how to think like a computer scientist is not utopic for me anymore.We werent born to technology and computer age but 21st century children were born to this amazing century and they will undoubtedly be more different than us both as an individual and emotionally. Computational Thinking enables what one human being cannot do alone; for solving problems, for designing systems, for understanding the power and limits of human and machine intelligence. There are  two A’s of computational thinking first one is ABSTRACTION; is operating in terms of multiple layers of abstraction simultaneously and the relationships between layers. The other one is AUTOMATIO...

This lesson was prepared within the scope of Multimedia Design in Education Course given by assist prof. Doc.Dr Yavuz Samur. While planning the lesson I have prepared some multimedia tools and students also used some Web 2.0 tools.

I have done two infographics . One is about PISA results and the other one is designed for teachers to have an idea about Etwinning which is a part of Erasmus +, the EU program for education,training,youth and sport.It encourages  teaching innovation, the use of technologies in education and the creation of educational projects between classes of different countries.

                      This video was prepared with Toontastic.Its one of the story telling application that you can create 3D  stories. Kids can draw, animate, narrate and record their own cartoons.  

There are two examples of inteactive video here.One is for my primary school students and I used it while practising daily routines. The other one is prepared for my 4th grade students to let them think about some serious problems in the World.   EDPUZZLE                               EDPUZZLE MAN

DESIGNING AND CONDUCTING FORMATIVE EVALUATIONS Why? Because in order to determine weaknesses in the instruction.What are these WEAKNESSES? *Teachers Trainers are not good predictors of the effectiveness of instructional content *Instructional Theory is not a perfect science *Few instructional products are ever evaluated with learners. *Designer cant see the forest for the trees. FORMATIVE EVALUATION HAS SIX STAGES 1.Design review 2.Expert review 3.One to one 4.Small group 5.Field trials 6.Ongoing evaluation 1.DESIGN REVIEWS (we should ask these questions) Does the instructional goal match the problem identified in the needs assesment? Does the learner and the environemental analysis match the audience? Does the task analysis include all the prerequisite skillls? Are the test items are reliable and valid and do y-they match the objectives? 2.EXPERT REVIEW Is the cıntent accurate and up-to-date? Does it present a consistent perspective?...
