In the cloud or on the school network? Which is best [Nalan]

I think online dictionaries on the school network are useful resources for language learning because they can be used in several different ways.  For example, a search box for an online dictionary can be added to a class or school blog so that students have access to the dictionary anytime, anywhere to look up the meaning of a new word. This would give the students flexibility while studying. Likewise, links to online dictionaries on the school website could also be a useful resource for students. Apart from these, CD-ROM dictionaries can also be loaded onto the computers in the self-study centres for student use. To sum up, I think online dictionaries on the school network is better because it provides easy access to students whereas  online dictionaries in the cloud  is not user-friendly because a separate page needs to be opened each time the student wants to use a dictionary.

About my work and hobbies

Work
I've been teaching English as a foreign language since 1989. When I graduated from the university, I worked for government schools for three years but then decided to work at the English Preparatory School of Eastern Mediterranean University. Apart from teaching, I am interested in learner autonomy, integrating technology into learning English. 

Hobbies and Interests

I use local hellumi cheese to make this one.

I  love cooking and making pies, especially winter time.

I need to spend some time to make this cheese or minced meat pie. 

I usually use cheese or minced meat or spinich.

Summer time, I spend most of my time swimming and walking along the beach.

This is the place where I live  and spend my time before and after school swimming and I feel so refreshed after all day at school.









I like listening to  music when I drive or when I work on the computer because I feel relaxed.

My Family

I live in Bahceler area outside Yeni Iskele town near Famagustra city.

This place used to be my grandparents village from my father's side but now this area is full of new houses  and sites and villas.

My parents live very close to my place. I decided to live here in this area since it is near the beach. It takes me approximately 20 minutes to drive to school every morning.
