Flipped Clasroom

-

 Hi everyone,

I hope you are fine. It's been a while since i shared the last post which is corpus based learning. As you can see today i will talk about flipped classroom. Before this lesson, i have never heard about it. I assume that most of you don't know as well, so first lets learn what it is. The word "flip" means turning something over. You can confused about what to turn over. We will flip the traditional teaching model. As you know, In traditional learning students get the information in class and use it outside of the class. So, they do the easy part in class and hard part at home. In flipped classrooms, teacher prepares a video or use a prepared video about the lesson's topic and in the video teacher gives the information. When they come to the lesson, they do the activities by using that information. So, Students needs to pay attention to the video to join the activities in class.

For this topic, my friends Ayşe, Bilge and I prepared a video for our students. Our topic is "animals". We aimed to teach them vocabularies about the animals. And, we also prepared a task for them about " animals" so that they can consolidate the learning and see whether they understand the topic or not. To watch the video click here and for the task click here. I hope you like it. 
So, after prepared this and learned the flipped classroom, i can say that it is really useful for students. In traditional teaching, teacher gives the information and students do the hard part which is , applying, analyzing,evaluating, creating at home. In 21st century, Students get the information from the internet easily, so it is better that they learn the information at home and use it in class. However, in terms of teachers, this is a bit difficult because while preparing the video, we tried so hard. For example the application has limited characters. We had difficulties while creating animals and adding their sounds. So, some teachers may choose the prepared videos via internet. It can be easier. But, if they want to prepare a video they can choose our app which is animaker. That's all for today. 
See you soon!

Hi everyone. Today I'll talk about digital storytelling.Digital storytelling is multimedia movies that combine photographs,video,animation,sound,music.text,and often a narrative voice.Digital stories may be used as an expressive medium within the classroom. Students can work individually or collaboratively to produce their own digital stories.Once completed,these stories are easily be uploaded to the internet and can be made available to an international audience. It is a new and effective way to learn second language. It can improve children's creativity. And also it is really fun. My friends  Zeynep  , Gizem  and I have created a story named 'Day Dream'  This story is about 3 adventurous friends. While creating the video we had a lot of fun.  I hope you have fun while watching.

Hi everybody I have a bad news for you. Because of the end of this semester,this is my last post. In our educational technologies lesson  We've learned how to use technology in ELT clasrooms.And for this purpose,we have learned to use a lot of programs like padlet,blogspot,pixton,wiki,canva and so on. In some assignment we studied as a group. And this enabled us to look from our friends perspective and improved our thoughts. This lesson is really helpful for me because thanks to this programs, i know how to enrich my lesson when i become a teacher. We live in 21'st century and this century requires some changes. We can create this change. And, It can be accomplished by technology. Technology has crucial importance  especially in english language teaching classes . If we know how to use it, We can benefit from it in every aspect of life.  Throughout a term  i tried to share my opinions and assignment with you  v ia this blog. I hope this blog helps you with the use of techno

 Hi everyone, As you see in the title, today we are going to talk about augmented reality in education. Do you know what augmented reality is? Even if you don't know what it is exactly, you may heard it from interactive games, online shopping like Ikea or even the authorization to unlock your phone. Augmented reality enhance the user's real-world experience by combining real and technology based scenes or images. My friends  Ayşe Toy ,  Zeynep Uslu  and I prepared a task to introduce our students Rome, Italy. For our task we used  Canva  and  UniteAr . In terms of students, it is very easy. They need to upload unitear app. Then, they will scan the images and see the Ar images, videos and a tour to Capitoline Museum. However, in terms of teachers it could be a little bit diffucult because while preparing our task we couldn't find an app properly. We hope that in the near future, apps for augmented reality will improve and teachers will use augmented reality in class. To see
