FLIPPING AROUND!

-

 Hello Everyone!

Wow, such a week it has been! It seems there were lots of different ways to teach that we did not know until this week. We learned an approach called 'Flipped Classroom'. This approach allows teachers to use technology to record or choose a video of the subject that teachers will discuss in the next session. Then, they will send it to their students so that they can practice the subjects at home by themselves, and in the classroom, they can do exercises and activities with their teachers. To be able to comprehend it better, we were given the task of preparing our own flipped classroom video and material. I worked with my friends Umut and Alperen. We chose the subject of superlatives and comparatives. We prepared two different activities and one presentation video. We had trouble while trying to find the best platform to record and share the video on. However, in the end, we thought it would be best to record the video on Zoom and share it on YouTube. We were required to make the video short, approximately 5 minutes, so it was also our duty to make it simple. It took us a considerable number of shots as we could not stop ourselves and laugh! We really enjoyed while recording and it was a great bonding time for us. I also loved the idea that the Flipped Approach has. I would really love to use it in my own teaching as I think students learn with the activities better and the time that is spent to present a subject wastes a whole day of teaching.

I am adding the video of our presentation for the Flipped Classroom Approach. It also includes our materials' QR's inside of it, however, in case of any problem that might happen with QR's, I am adding the activities here as well. I hope you will enjoy it. 

See you soon,

With lots of love, xoxo.

Make the World Great Again!

 Hi everyone,   Today our topic is my new podcast! This was given as a task to all of my class and it actually made us all excited. It is about our ideas on how can, humankind, make the World a better place to live in and we are only given 60 seconds. At first, I got so anxious. It was really hard to find an idea which can be talked about for only 60 seconds. To be honest, deciding what I will say was a hard job but I think I managed it. I talked about being equal is the crucial part of living in a better place. I thought writing the script was the hardest part, then I started to record it and I realized writing the script was just a warm-up. Being careful about how to pronounce everything made me lose my concentration and afterward, I needed to record it again. I tried to record it properly for almost 25 times! Of course, it was worth it. I had an amazing time while recording and that also made me realize such a task like this can improve a student's 4 main language skil...

Chatting With Marie Curie

  Hello Everyone! Today our topics are AI -Artificial Intelligence- and one of the most impressive ways to use it. This week, our teacher gave us the task of choosing a historical character to chat with. It sounds impossible and awkward, right? Actually, no. 5 years ago you could tell that this is impossible and strange to think about but now, we have AI tools to help us to do this kind of surreal thing.  She introduced us to the tool and how we could use it and gave us instructions afterward to lead us.  First, we had to choose a historical character. At that exact moment, I knew I should choose a strong woman figure and the first to come to mind is, of course, Marie Curie.  If you observe this picture carefully, you can see that she is the only woman in this picture and you can understand why I chose her:). She is notable for being the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman to win in two different scientific fields, and the only person to win Nobel Prizes...

How you end a semester determines how you begin the next one..

Hello Everyone! Now it is finally June. I love summer so I am very excited for a full season to begin. New beginnings always happen when old ones ends, of course. In our situation this thing is the spring semester of our school. It is so strange that we are finishing our 2nd year in university and when I look back, I can realize how much we have grown and learned during this time. I am also very emotional as this post will be my last for this semester. I enjoyed every second of this writing experience and I will miss it with my whole heart.  I think this lesson has given me so much during the semester. I really learned excited things like making videos with the help of artifical intelligence and even making a picture turn into a 3D version as if I see it in real life. It has been my most enjoyable lesson and I think it showed me lots of cool things that I can brag about when I am with my friends out of school. I have always thought that using technological tools is hard before I ha...
