Maybe, when i become a teacher, i keep sharing my materials about teachnology. Because this lesson was really helpful for me and, i believe it was helpful to you as well. In this lesson, I created so many task with my friends. Before this lesson, I wouldn't know many of the apps and activities. For example, I found flipped classroom very useful, efficient and applicable.

 Hi everyone, Today I am going to talk about my new task which is webquest. Before that class, I have never heard about it. So, first, I want to mention what it is and how it is used.

 Hello everyone, Last week we learned what flipped classroom is. And, we prepared a video for vocabulary teaching. This week, my friends  Ayşe ,  Bilge  and I prepared a grammar teaching video for flipped classroom. For our grammar teaching video, we used  animaker  as before. As a topic, we chose 'obligations'. First, students watch the video about  'obligations'. They will learn what obligations are and, they learn to use it in sentence with the help of structure teaching in the video. After that, to consolidate their learning and to see whether they understand the topic or not, We prepared a  task  for them. You can watch our grammar teaching video by  clicking here . I hope you like it. See you soon.

 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...
