My Podcast

-
Hello. Today I am going to share with you the podcast that I created and my thoughts about it. You can listen to it from below. It was actually enjoyable but choosing the subject was the hardest part of the task. I realized that there are so many things to change in our world. In the future I can use this activity with my students because the feeling of creating something on your own is really honorary. It motivates for learning English.

Teaching Vocabulary With Flipped Classroom!

Resim
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.

By doing this, we use data driven learning -one of the best way of teaching a language- which is based on self discovery of students.  Now, I want to show our material that I designed with my friend Merve Mızrak, if you would like to read her posts, here is the link to her blog:   https://mizrakmerve.blogspot.com/ And you can preview our material by clicking here   You can preview the other page of the material when you click on it. In the material, we asked students to use skell as we thought that it is r...

      Well, it has been a long journey, but we have come to an end. Different from the last year, in this term I have studied Educational Technologies course. Was it super interesting for me? I would not probably say yes as a person who spends most of his time with things connected to pc and internet. I was -at least- acquainted with most of the content taught in the course. But for someone who does not use computer at all besides social media may have found it interesting. Still, it was beneficial for me as I learned actually how can I use these websites in the teaching process, how can I integrate it to my classes in a fun way, so that students can both have fun and learn.     As this integration was the main concern of this course, I have to admit that it was super beneficial. Today, it is inevitable not to use technology in education, and we have been taught how to use it well as a future teacher candidate. So, what can be boring about it?   ...
