How Webtools Actually Make Our Lives Easier

-

Hello everyone! Today, I want to share with you some information about webtools and mention some webtools I think that are the most useful for us, future teachers. Firstly, I want to congratulate your new year and wish you all luck and everything you want in 2020. Now, let's move on to our sites.

 1- Pixton: It is a tool that allows you to create a book. (what I like the most is comics, though!) Just like most of the websites that I will recommend, it is free up to some extent and if you want more features you need to pay to have access.

 2- Canva: To simply explain, The website that I used for creating the banner in this post is canva. You can create posters, infographics and more stuff through it. There are templates prepared and you just need to choose one related to your subject.

 3- Poster My Wall: It is similar to Canva, but additionally, you can create video posters thorugh it. It also has free templates and you can edit them however you want.

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...
