 Hello everyone ! Welcome to my blogspot again. Today we are going to try to understand the TPAC model precisely. Before I start writing, I want to show you the elements of TPAC model by showing a picture. TPAC is a teaching model that emphasizes the learning process by including some elements like content , pedagogical and technological knowledge. Content Knowledge(CK) It is the piece of information that the teacher knows about the subject itself. It includes theories, concepts, approaches and so on.

 What is Flipgrid? Flipgrid is a web platform where students are given the opportunity to share their own ideas or opinions about a topic that is given by their instructor by sharing their video . Teachers can generate a discussion which we can also say a "topic" to be discussed by their students and they can turn their camera on and talk about the topic at a given time. Of course there may be situations where some students do not want to do that but we have a solution for this. Teachers can allow those students to upload an image or an emoji. Generating a discussion As we can clearly see in the picture, there is a topic to be discussed. The students can share their video by clicking on the button "Record a Response" Responses Teachers can watch their students' video that is related to the discussion. You can also watch the student's video from here. Thank you for watching. Take care of yourself :)

AR gives us opportunity to bring the visual materials to our life and makes us feel that we are really like  one step away from touching them . As for adapting the AR technology into the education field, it can be said that it is a crucial way of making the language lessons fun for our learners (I will add more information in the next paragraphs). Unlike VR, AR is more  getable  because we do not even have to buy a headset to use it. Having a mobile phone is enough for experincing it. Augmented reality is suited for applying it to other platforms like science, design or architecture. Now I want to introduce you to one example of AR application. Its name is "Vahsi Hayvanlar" which is "Wild Animals". I showed my camera to the image of lion and it turned into a virtual one. He
