Department when I was at high school so I had lots of computer teachers. I keep in contact with some of my former teachers. Verda: Which technology equipment do you like most? Seda Teacher: Smart phones, of course … I love smart phones! I think I am addicted to social media, some applications and mobile phone tools. I love all of them so I always, always check my social media accounts and check my applications at home. I love cell phones, I can’t live without my cell phone. When I sleep, I always put my phone next to me. It is always with me, sometimes under my pillow. Lara: Why did you decide to be a computer teacher? Seda Teacher: Today’s kids, the new generation, know how to use technology better than we do. Today's kids are born into a technology and they live in the century of new Technologies. The next generation will know more than us about technology. When they get older, they will need technology more and more. They can do a lot of good things with technology. Children like technology. They love technology for example, computer games, cell phones…etc. so they can be computer teachers. They will love it. If they like children and technology, then they should choose to be a computer teacher. However, knowing technology is not enough to be a computer teacher. Loving kids and being happy with them are also important. You can be a computer teacher. Gamze: What are the advantages of the animation club? Seda Teacher: As you see, we are working on some animation websites, animation tools and applications for creating animations. Students love creating animations. They learn about new animation tools and this makes them excited and happy. They are curious about the activities. It is a pleasure for them. I give them a topic about Eco Schools, New Year or Christmas and introduce them to the tool to create their animation. Then they work on it and if I like them, I share them with other teachers. This is a pleasure for me. This is all about our club. Students: Thank you for interviewing us. Seda Teacher: You’re welcome. It was a pleasure for me. 22
