Hello everyone. Today I want to share with you a film review that I worked on with my friend Bengisu. Firstly, you can read our review through this link.

The movie is called 'The Help'. It is a drama movie that is based on black maids' life in the US.

In the task, we were supposed to watch the movie and create a review together. We created the text together beforehand and then wrote it into the wiki. We hope that you enjoyed our review!

In today's world, we all have direct access to technology. Technology is integrated into our lives in every field, just like education. We should use technology in our classes in such an effective way that it would be the most beneficial for our students. It is not all about using projection device and stuff. Apart from using it in classes, we can use technology in order to make them become a world citizen, raising their awareness by pointing out ongoing issues in our planet. Additionally, by using platforms such as Edmodo, we can help them become more productive as we can share information and clues about the homeworks we give, and creating a deadline through the app would urge them to do the tasks that we ask them to do.

Teaching Grammar With Flipped Classroom!

Resim
Hey everyone! Last week, I mentioned about the concept of flipped classroom and shared my vocabulary video.  This week, we prepared a grammar video, again with my friend Merve Mızrak . Our grammar subject was ''Adverbs of Frequency''. At the beginning, we talked about their functions and then showed our students some common adverbs of frequency (Form focus). Later on, we talked about some grammatical structures in which those adverbs could be used. Finally, we finished our video with a short exercise.  I believe that learning with flipped classroom videos is way more beneficial than traditional grammar teaching strategies.  When it comes to work share, Merve vocalized most of the video and created the handout worksheet through Canva while I also vocalized a part of the video and did the editing through Sony Vegas Pro. We hope that you will enjoy the video. You can watch it by clicking here . And you can see our handout worksheet here:

Hey everyone! Today, I want to show you my flipped classroom video that I created with my friend Merve Mızrak.   What is Flipped Classroom after all?  A flipped classroom is a type of blended learning  where students are introduced to content at home and practice working through it at school.  What are the advantages and disadvantages of it?  Firstly, let's talk about some of its advantages. A flipped classroom promotes student-centered environment, and it is easily accessible from everywhere. Flipped classroom videos are usually short, so it enables students of digital era, whose attention spans are pretty short to learn. Speaking of its disadvantages, it adds extra workload on teachers, and these videos have to rely on trust, which means that students should be watching them but we cannot always make sure that they do. In our video, we aimed to teach some occupations to our students. We paid attention to repetition both in teaching and revision parts. We used...
