Kahoot

Kahoot as Test Creating

   Hi, I use Kahoot approximately 6 months and I like it by the way I haven't created a Kahoot till today but I have joined Kahoots. Traditional tests are boring for students. We as teachers should convert it to something more than that. Kahoot gives exactly this to educators. You can create limitless questions, visual questions. I enable us to become current. I made a kahoot you can have a look and then try to create yours.

AR Trial

AR As an Educational Tool

      Augmented Reality is a combination of the real and virtual environment. It has its own universe of items. The system works in this way: any two-dimensional object is scanned through a device with a camera and it makes up an AR unit so when you scan this object, there comes out the AR icon chosen. Anyone can make up an AR unit any time, with a device which has a camera of course, from various applications such as HP Reveal. 

    When it comes to the usage of AR in ELT, there are a few attempts to integrate this technology but any significant development hasn't taken place yet. Any improvement is important and gives us hope about new version ELT. AR can be used as an activity to reinforce learning but it can't be used as a tool for learning. I enjoyed my AR experience and I think this technology should be in ELT. I uploaded my video of using AR to Youtube you can follow the link below to watch it.
