My dear teacher

My dear teacher, Thank you for being the best teacher.

Thank you for choosing this profession in these times when everyone seeks to make money in the simplest and easiest way possible, whatever the content they provide and whatever its results.
Thank you for choosing to build this community at a time when so many people are seeking to corrupt its morals and destroy it.
We know you are performing the most difficult task in this world, but you know that you are establishing a generation and planting seeds, whose fruits you may not see now, but your impact will remain for generations and generations.
Thank you for every minute of your time and for every word that came out of you and entered the minds and hearts of many students.
Thank you so much

Nevmekan

 Do you prefer to study at home, or in the library?

Personally, I prefer to study at home, unless the library is like NEVMEKAN, where you can find a unique atmosphere. 

Let me tell you a bit about this wonderful library, it is one of the important places for Istanbul culture and the art of living in Istanbul, It was first opened in Bağlarbaşı in 2016 with the restoration of the old IETT garage, is also one of the best examples of the idea of the National Coffee House.

It's founded by Üsküdar Municipality Mayor Hilmi Türkmen with the vision of presenting a new symbol to the culture of Istanbul, serves Istanbulites and world citizens on the Üsküdar coast with its library of 50 thousand books, exhibition hall, art and cultural activities.

This library is open 24 hours, receiving students and those who want to enjoy studying in a calm atmosphere with the sound of the waves and the smell of books, and also the food and drinks in it are very delicious, and good service. So if you like books, you will enjoy the experience of eating gourmet food in a fancy library.

EDU 561 - Fall/2020

 Before I tell about my experience in teaching this semester, I have to say that this course is a great source of information, it's like a treasure form me, full of ideas, topics and useful applications which make us grow, enrich our knowledge, and make our way in teaching more efficient.

So, firstly this course has changed my way in reviewing the information for my students online, now I'm able to review via Kahoot, Go Formative, or Mentimeter.

I used to ask my students how do they feel before we begin the class, but now I can do it via Poll everywhere to make it more fun and safe the class time.

Seeking to involve the student in the educational process, this course gave me an excellent idea about using Google apps such as Jamboard, Google Docs, Slide, Sheet, WebQuest, etc... Also how to organise my teaching materials in the best way on Google drive and Google Classroom.

The more important and practical thing now is that I have given my students their final exams as Google Form and it was a perfect idea, I've changed the routine in our school that required us to send exams as PDF and have the parents to print it for their kids, now it's more fun and efficient.

Google Form exams:
