Reflection Paper for Telecollaboration/ Valiant Virtual Exchange Project

 

This is our telecollaboration project with Spanish college students. There are 3 universities in this project. The first one is Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa from Turkey. The others are Malaga and Complutense University from Spain. In this process, we chose our group with classmates and wrote our names on Google docs. Then, Spanish friends wrote their names, and groups of five and six formed. We sent some emails to each other to communicate and set the first meeting. We sent our phone numbers in order to create a group on Whatsapp. We thought that communication would be easier via Whatsapp. Because of my surgery situation, we made the first meeting a bit late. And this process continued like that. We followed the duties that were shared with us. Because of the planning mistakes, the Ramadan holiday, we discussed topics for the storybook on Google Docs. We introduced our famous storybooks in the third meeting. Finally, we created our storybook and sent it to them so that they gave us feedback. 

I listened but ı could not make any contribution due to health problems in the first meeting. It was so funny. They were so friendly. We got to know each other. We talked about our cultures, languages, dialects, regions, etc. There heard some interesting information about Spain. So did they. They did know how to use Zoom very well. We were hosted and sent the link to Spanish friends. Also, they did not know what they need to do. We explained and clarified everything to them. Then, they gave us some topic examples and gave feedback on our ideas. Our friends and I really worked hard on the storybook. We used a lot of tools, redesigned images, and organized images and paragraphs. When we sent them the last version of the storybook, they really loved and appreciated our workers. They said ı am sure that your teacher is gonna love and appreciate your work. Hearing these comments felt so good. 
It was good to get to know and see foreign students, to work with them, to see their talents, what they can do and what they cannot do. This telecollaboration event satisfied many of my curiosities. I have also seen us, what we can do, what we cannot do, and our abilities. It was nice to see that our school and our valuable teachers are working hard for us, I realized how qualified and equipped they are trying to train us and they are trying for this. This telecollaboration event added an awareness. Thanks for that to Mr. Can and Ms. Isıklıgil.

It helps educators see and hear from every student in class and foster a fun and supportive social learning environment.  Flipgrid allows teachers to post videos with some accompanying text about topics. It basically works for it.  These videos are shared with students, who can be prompted to respond. The response can be made with creating videos that are then posted to the original topic.
