Evil on the Internet:Cyberbullying

-

 Hello, my dear readers!💖

Welcome back to another informational post. Today we will talk about cyberbullying, what is it and how can we prevent it.  

For this week in our Instructional Technologies and Material Design course, we were supposed to create an informational infographic. We had four topic options and I wanted to talk about cyberbullying. 

Cyberbullying can be defined as the act of embarrassing, hurting, mocking, threatening, or being rude to someone online through the use of computers, smartphones, or other linked devices. 

For making this infographic I used Canva which is a tool for graphic designs.  Since Canva had a separate part for infographic designs it wasn't a hard task for me to create it. But I couldn't easily decide which template should I use or which colors would be good together, so deciding these actually took most of my time. :)

In the English classroom, infographics can improve visual literacy through data analysis, simplify complicated ideas for easier understanding, stimulate critical thinking by assessing bias and credibility, encourage students to express themselves creatively when presenting information, and encourage group work to create visually stimulating content which improves learning outcomes. 

Creating an infographic on a given topic provides educational benefits for students by promoting deeper understanding through research and synthesis of information. Students can also benefit from infographics as they provide visual aids that simplify complex language concepts, making them more accessible and engaging. It improves their comprehension skills while fostering creativity in presenting ideas visually. Furthermore, collaborative infographic projects promote teamwork and communication skills.


Sooo, what do you guys think about these evils on the internet? Please share your opinions about it in the comment section. 

I hope you enjoy reading!


xoxo, Yağmur

  Hello, my dear readers!💖 It’s been such a looong time since we last see each other. I’ve missed you guys so much, have you missed me? 🥹🥹 I’m back with you guys with another interesting topic. Today we are going to talk about creating a corpus based material!!! This time in our Current Issues in Teaching course we were assigned to create a corpus based teaching material and a lesson plan based on the ASSURE modal . We were supposed to design a worksheet and our target group was EFL learners who are enrolled in a high school in Turkey. I  worked on this task with my friends Nisa Elmas and Bilge Dilara Doğan. They also have blogs, so you can click   here   if you want to see Nisa's blog and   here   for Bilge's blog. For our worksheet we decided to choose the topic “Too and Enough”. We designed the worksheet with the aim of teaching the topic to the students inductively and we wanted them to get help from the corpus in the learning process. We created dif...

Hello, my dear readers!💖 It is sad to tell you this but this will be my last post in this blog.  Since this post is my final post for my Instructional Technologies in Material Design course I want to talk about this course and what I did in this course. So, let's look at what I have done so far.  Before taking this course I actually had almost no idea about the integration of technology in English language teaching. I've learned many web pages, AI tools, educational apps and so much more to use in my future assignments and classes when I became a teacher. I also learned that all these tools have both good and bad sides. We can get help from them but they can sometimes make our tasks more challenging and the informations we collect from them might not be reliable.  In general, I didn't see this course and the tasks as something I am forced to take as some of my other courses. :( Instead, this was a great course that taught me lots of things that I can use in the future. W...
