I really like tildee because it is visual and helps to understand more about themes and EQs. (Semih HzB)

I like tildee because it is easier to match questions with images from the film. (Selin HzA)

Tildee is the best educational website I have ever seen. It is very logical. Moreover, it is a great way to discuss ideas. (Kaan HzA)

Tildee is the new working style and futuristic. (Ari HzA)

Edmodo is the best site ever! We can

share ideas, photos and videos plus

communicate with our friends and teachers

very easily. Öykü

I think edmodo is the best web page ever. We are sharing our ideas and having fun. It’s a little bit educational. I think it is a little bit nonsense, but there are a lot of good questions. Love it... (Semih)

Its like facebook, but for learning. I like it! Batuhan

I don’t like Edmodo because I have to check it every day. Selin

I don’t like writing by hand so anything where I can use typing makes me happy. All three websites are really useful. Ilayda

Penzu classroom is my favourite website for school. You can write when and what you want, even negative things. Ari

We can look at our feedback easily on penzu classroom. So it helps us to improve our paragraph skills. Melissa

I think penzu and edmodo are awesome

because I can communicate to my classmates with my

Blackberry. Asu
