MOODLE

  Moodle is really helpful material for teachers and students. It is a kind of e-learning platform and it is free for utilizing to everyone. This platform can be found by users easily so Moodle usage is really simple. Moodle accesible is easy and fast so that it is save the time. If we think that point as a teacher or to be teacher, time is realy phenomenon for educators. Using papers, prints etc. They are real waste of time. Instead of preparing this paper quizes or exams, Moodle provides us orginize our exams on the web and sharing with students easily. Thus, teachers can give feedbacks to their students fastly and effectively and students learn their mistakes without negative prescription. Moodle makes us aware how learning platforms can be everywhere and education not limited with schools or clasrooms so that students can learn their lesson everywhere without any guide teacher. In my opinion, education should be everywhere for everyone so that learners access the information or lesson whenever if they want. Moodle provides us it. Thanks to Moodle teachers and students  save their times  and occur the education environment for everywhere and everyone.

Vıd-Cast

VID-CAST

   Video podcasts, also called videocasts, vidcasts and vodcasts, combine the audio component of podcasting with visual media. This technology provides a forum for a wide variety of video podcasters, including filmmakers and artists, vloggers (video bloggers), and even those who just like sharing their videos.

   Video podcasting is also helping build business, especially in the sales and marketing sectors. Through video podcasts, businesses both large and small can advertise their wares and services in a modern, cost-effective way. In the past, big businesses had better access to expensive studios where sophisticated advertisements were produced, but now even the smallest businesses can create high-quality media with just a camera, editing software and the Internet.
