Hi everyone! Since this is my first post ever on this blog, I'd like to start with a short introduction of myself. My name is Zeynep and I am a sophomore at Istanbul University- Cerrahpasa, English Language Teaching Department. I created this blog as a task for one of my elective courses and I'll try to create content related to ELT. Today I'd like to start with a concept called VidCast. As you know, as teachers we have to chase technological opportunities we have in our day to make teaching process more effective. Using visuals, audio materials, videotapes when teaching a new language will not only help you get the attention of your students but also help you increase the efficiency of tour teaching method. Using such materials in the learning environment is crucially important and very helpful especially if your students are young learners or beginners. So here it is my first attempt to create a vidcast for my elective course Material Design in English Language Teaching. In this VidCast I used the Voki Application and made my visual figure talk about the differences between "the use of may and might" in English. Application is very simple, not complicated at all. After you choose a character you must write down the box that pops what you want your character to say. First click on create button, then you will se a character is given already. You can change clothes, gender, background of your character from the column on the left. After you establish the look and background of your character click on the audio sign at the bottom of the column and write down what you want your character to say. That's all! If you're also trying to create that kind of material, you should give it a try. My work looks very amateur though I have to admit, but at least I am more familiar with this process than I used to be now. I hope you find it helpful!
