Project Summary

Nowadays science and technology contribute profoundly to the development of the education process as in every field. The EU 2020 Strategy also included the statement of the development of education and training systems to meet the needs of the information society. Information technologies has become a popular tool in the field of education not only in Turkey but also in Europe owing to its benefits in improving time management, being open access, transforming education into a fun learning process and building a close interaction between students and digital content. The labor market and social challenges of the 21st century have encouraged the people in education sector to apply different learning and teaching methods. The traditional education system is based on a teacher-centered approach, however the ultimate goal is to develop a student-centered education. In order to achieve this goal, it is critical to provide students with latest educational technology resources. Our project is planned on activities mainly based on the utilization of information technologies in education. These activities include concept cartoons, Common Craft, Stop Motion, interactive video and digital story applications as well. To illustrate, concept cartoons improve creative thinking through identification and elimination of misconceptions. Theyestablish a suitable learning environment based on visuality and thus give an opportunity to learners to be aware of different ideas and respect different opinions.Common Craft is an application used for peer learning and it plays a crucial role in language teaching and cooperative learning. Stop Motion animations improve the imagination and creativity of childrens. Since it requires a proper planning for the next step, it helps students to improve their planning skills. Interactive videos allow users to decide by providing a suitable environment foran easy transfer of their attitudes. With the help of digital stories, students become active producers instead of being passive consumers of multimedia.Since the digital story is an active process, it provides an exciting and entertaining climate in learning environments. The aims of our project:
