I think AR is a really useful tool while implementing technology to the educational process. It can be used in various ways and can enhance quality of the educational process greatly. For example, the ar can be used in all of the science classes, we can show the molecules of an element, we can show a chemical reaction or we can even create physic experiments via using different AR modules. I do think that the use of AR should be increased in all of the classes. I also think that AR could be really helpful while teaching to the kids with ADHD or other attention disorders, since using the AR is very fun and charming it would be a very effective tool to teach on those kind of situations.

VEX Code

With the VEXcode VR I created a program with code blocks to help a robot with a camera to complete a maze. As you can see here this is the maze. It is filled with different coloured blocks. These blocks help the robot to understand its surroundings and move according to them. In order to allow the robot to actually use the different coloured blocks as guidance I wrote a small code by using code blocks. This is the code I wrote, what this code does is is that it allows robot to move according to the different coloured blocks. I specified the turning and moving speed, I also added a black coloured pen to allow robot to mark the way it had passed. When the robot sees the colour I ask the robot does the next command I put, which is the turn block I used in order to guide the robot to the next target. And lastly when the robot reaches the destination, which is the red block, the robot stops. This is the finished state of the maze and the program. I think that VEXcode has a very big pote

Educational game design with MIT App Inventor

In the second page I set the blocks for the answers, buttons, images, and text by using the initialize global block, then I created the "ShowQ" procedure which is the main procedure that is needed for my game. "ShowQ" begins when the screen2 is initialized. "ShowQ" procedure creates the questions that appear in the game and brings them on the screen, in the beginning of the "ShowQ" I used 2 blocks to add +1 to the value of "QuestionNumber", this allows the game to begin since the normal value of the "QuestionNumber" is 0 and changes the question when the previous one is done. I added the "set ... to" + "text" block to change texts and images

Arduino Project

Program is below, My impression is that the arduino is a very fun and educational way of teaching how the codes and the hardware are connected, and being able to do it online without the need of the real arduino hardware is really advantageous during the pandemic situations. I also think that the use of systems like arduino should be encouraged in all kinds of education level, it could create a great base for the people interested in electrical or computer engineering.

My Educational Game Design

 https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/453188488 I made an educational virtual piano in order to teach people from all age groups notes on piano. I made 2 modes which can be activated from the buttons called "Start the quiz!" and "Free mode". When you click the quiz mode the notes on the piano disappears and quiz starts. On the right side of the app there is an circle, when you start the quiz random notes start to show up on that circle, in order to be succesful you have to play the right note by using your keyboard. When you play the correct note a tick will appear on the circle for a brief moment, if you play the wrong note a x mark will show up. In the free mode you can just play with piano randomly. There are also buttons for changing the sound of the instrument and adjusting volume. In order to make a working piano I added the music page in scratch, then I draw equal keys and adjusted their positions to create the piano look. I created buttons and writings. Some

Reflection on flipped clasroom approach

In my opinion flipped clasroom plan is a very efficient. This model allows both students and the teacher to save time, get a better grasp on the lesson and have a much more productive in-class time. I think one of the things that should not be overseen while implementing the flipped clasroom approach is the resources and the logistics. The resources are the educational material that is provided by the teacher, videos, online content, etc. These should provided and created carefully to enhance the educational process, and the logistics are the books, electronical devices. These are the students tools to reach to the educational material, and they are a key factor in the flipped clasroom approach. And another important factor in my opinion is the will to learn. The students collabration with the flipped clasroom approach is really important. They should be ready to learn by themselves, if not the flipped clasroom aproach might not be as efficient as it would be. The students should be a

Reflection on FATIH project

  As I understood, FATIH is a technology based project which aims to improve the quality of education and effectively use the technology in education area. The project is not obligatory and it consist 5 components. These components are based on improving the technology that are being used, adding new technological components and structures and improving the usage of these technologies by improving the content these structures and components use.     I think usage of a system centralized around a network is efficient, however since the network we are going to use is going to be a very important component of the system we are designing this system must be made carefully and work properly. I think the EBA with its modules generally looks fine, it has a lot of content such as; e-books, videos, audios and other media content, These are the main contents that aim the student so they must be picked carefully, but the variety of the educational content is also important, it lets students to
