Lastly I want to mention teaching methods we used in our project. 

Incidental Learning

• Incidental learning is unplanned or unintentional learning. It may occur while carrying out an activity that is seemingly unrelated to what is learned. In our project students worked activities like improvisation.

  Brainstorming 

  It’s best to use your creativity to come with ideas about anything related to what you learn.In that Project students mostly used forum for sharing ideas and assessing.

  Collaborative  Classrooms

  Collaborative classrooms make online learning more engaging. In this Project,students have ability to make online conferencing and communicate with other students.We also had collaborative activities which teaches the students how to work in cooperation.

  Peer learning 

  It is a great chance for students to learn from each other, so they used this method abundantly both in the forum and during the activities.

  Technological learning 

  The students got to know the technological tools closely with our project, and the students improved their technological awareness and skills.

  Game-based Learning

  GBL is the most fun among all the active learning methods. In our project, we created games by taking into consideration the ages of our students and students benefited from this situation in a fun way.

  Learning by doing 

  In our project, we created the chance to learn by doing it to our students so that permanent learning was realized because especially young students love learning by doing.

  Independent research method

  Independent research provides an opportunity to conduct in-depth investigations in areas of specific interest.In our project students have the chance of investigating and researhing about the subject given.
