Flipped Teaching Videos

Hello everyone. Today I will talk about the Flipped Teaching Video I prepared for the Current Issues in Elt course.

First of all, let me briefly explain what the flipped classroom approach is. Flipped classroom is a blended learning model. In this learning model, students learn the subject on their own by studying at home. In class, they do exercises on the subject. Compared to the traditional method, students are more active in this model. While the classical education model is teacher-centered, the flipped classroom is student-centered. One of the most important advantages of this model is that it activates the student. Thanks to this method, students learn to learn in accordance with the 21st Century education approach. However, this model may be difficult to implement if any student has access to technology. This is one of the disadvantages of this model.

In this project, I prepared a 3-minute video in accordance with the model in question. Normally this was a two-man mission. However, when my partner let me down, I had to do it alone. First of all, I had to decide on a topic and I chose the present simple tense. Then I prepared a short presentation in power point. I dubbed this into a video on Canva. It was a very enjoyable and educational experience for me. I have never prepared a video like this before. That's why I feel very lucky to have taken this course.

My Movie Review of Interstellar

We were asked to make a movie analysis by creating a wiki page for a task given to us in the educational technologies course. This was supposed to be a two-person team effort. I did this assignment with Eray Sezer, you can find his blog here . First, we decided which movie we would review. After deciding on the movie, we watched the movie separately. Then we divided the tasks. I wrote part of the review and Eray wrote the other part. Finally, we checked each other's writing, shared our ideas, and completed the task by making final corrections. I find creating a wiki page as a team effort is both fun and beneficial. First of all, since being able to keep up with teamwork is a very important quality, this task was extremely useful in terms of developing this feature. Second, doing a writing task with someone requires being open to criticism, which is a must-have for a prospective teacher. You can check out the review here . Thanks for reading, take care!! ...

Poster Project

Our task this week in the educational technologies class was to prepare a digital poster. Our options were to make a fictional movie poster or create a magazine cover. I chose the latter. I used Canva to make the poster. It was a little difficult at first, but when I understood how it worked, I could easily do it. I designed an imaginary fitness magazine cover and used my own photo :) The link of the tool is here: https://www.canva.com/ In the future, I think it would be beneficial to assign such a task to my students. In this way, students can develop both their English and their creativity. Here is my imaginary magazine cover :)
