Welcome

Hey there and welcome! I'm Nil Özkan and I'm an English Language Teaching student in Istanbul University. In this blog, I'm going to write about pretty much anything that interests me and stuff that's on my mind. I might do some interviews with students from all around the world.

QR Code

What is this mysterious QR code you wonder? Well, why don't you just figure it out yourself... ...Actually, its nothing mysterious. Just my Powtoon video that I already shared before on this blog. I wanted to share it again using a QR code. You can easily scan it and it will take you to the video.

Aurasma

Resim
Hello again. Today I have a very interesting app to talk about. It's called Aurasma. (or HP Reveal) Basically what it does is, combining real life and virtual creations. Thanks to this app we can experience augmented reality very easily with our phones. Its very fun and I think it could be a useful tool in classrooms as well. It would make lessons a lot more fun and interactive. Now, I'm bad at explaining so you should go, see it with your own eyes. Just download the app "HP Reveal" on your phone and then follow me there. Click to follow  or use my username "nilozk" Then, open your camera and point it towards the image below. Watch magic happen! (Literally)

While some people can use it to just socialize or play games, it can also be used as an education platform by others. Its a whole world inside of your computer. When I first logged in, there were many people just chilling out and chatting in the main space. I interacted with some of them. I also got to pick myself a fancy avatar. (She is a witch, I think) Later, I went to my virtual university and it was so cool. I was pretty impressed with how realistic it looked. I had a lot of fun just flying around our campus. (I wish I could actually do that) It was a pretty nice experience. I think its amazing what we can achieve wit...
