Mission: Digital Storytelling: What It Means To Be Good Friends?

Another one of the two missions given for the course of technology and material design for this week was to create a digital stroytelling video. Because my pair is one of my good fellows in school, we chose the subject about what means to be a good friends.













First, we thought about what materials we could use on the video. We had many ideas in mind, but eventually we decided to create our own avatars through Bitmoji, So it would be a symbol to represent ourselves on the video. Then to edit the video, we used the fusion of Movie Maker and Powerpoint. while recording our sounds, we had many difficulties such as synchronizing and interrupting. But we saw we created a very beautiful product when we succeeded.
Overcome of all difficulties together; This is friendship itself isn't it? :)

And we present our final product below!

Mobile Apps for Mobile Learning: Busuu

Technology goes on and on. This, of course, also affects education. Now everyone is able to learn the language from smartphones in their pocket. That's why I will introduce an application that will allow you to learn your language from your smartphone this week.

I will introduce you Busuu; a language learning application. Firstly, you sign up and choose what language you want to learn. And here is the application to order! 

There are many relevant and enriched exercises in this app. You can progress step by step from beginner to upper intermediate. 

















The subject you have finished working on is painted blue. The subject that you are working on has a blue ring. The ones you have not started yet are white.

















You can also learn tips and tricks of phrases you learn while doing the excersizes. 








The most important feature that distinguishes this application from others is that it is possible to get help from native speakers who use this application. You can also help people learning Turkish as a native speaker of Turkish. This feature provides a great social network to this app.






















To conclude, Busuu is a great app for learning English. Especially with its interactive interface, it leaves behind other mobile learning applications.
