Learning English in an Interesting Way :)

Hi, everyone! Welcome back to another post. 😊 How are you? I hope you all stay safe and healthy during this situation. In this post, I'd like to tell you all about one of the exciting features of TED-Ed: TED-Ed lessons. Probably most of you are already familiar with TED talks and TED videos. Some teachers may access and share TED-Ed talks and videos inside the classroom for many purposes such as learning English. But, do you know that TED-Ed also provides video-based lessons? Under the slogan ' Lessons Worth Sharing' , TED-Ed lessons contain exercises, activities, and discussions that are already perfectly designed. They are wonderful learning resources and they definitely help save teachers' time. But, what makes them even better is that we can create our own lessons to facilitate our needs!

With Nearpod, not only can the teachers compile their own files such as PDF files and PowerPoint slides in one lesson, but they can also combine their materials with all features from Nearpod such as quizzes, exercises, slideshows, and many more.

Now, let's see how to make a lesson using Nearpod through the following steps: 1. Open  https://nearpod.com/  and sign up for free. You can sign up using your Google or Office 365 account or you

  Hello, everyone! How are you all? I hope you are all in a good condition. 😄 In this post, I'd like to talk about how teachers and learners can maximize their teaching and learning by integrating technology.  Being a teacher and learner is never easy. Boredom is one of the biggest problems that teachers and learners mostly have during their teaching and learning process. Traditional textbooks, conventional classrooms, and a limited variety of learning activities may not be fun and engaging anymore. Considering this, why don't we try integrating technology during our teaching and learning process? In fact, there are lots of wonderful online tools out there that we can use for free. Not only are these online tools free, but they also provide various designs, models, and a lot of interesting features. Even if you are a beginner and never used to technology, these tools are very easy to use. So, without further ado, let's check them out! 1. Flipgrid ( https://info.flipgrid.co
