Flipped Approach (or Fingers IDK)

 

          Hi Everyone!!

This post is going to be about a task as usual. ( You all surprised right ??? ) This time is on flipped approach. Flipped learning is a methodology that helps teachers to prioritize active learning during class time by assigning students lecture materials and presentations to be viewed at home or outside of class. We prepared a video for the students to make them famliar with some vocabulary items. The items was about movie types. There were horror , sci-fci,drama etc. I forced my friends to add spiderman somewhere. You can see our video by clicking here. There is a QR code at the end of the video. Don't forget to scan it and solve our quiz. You can chech my friends blogs clicking their names below. Take care my friends.

Data Driven Learning

 

 

             Hi Everyone!!

 This school is going to make me a mad person eventually. Here is an another task that we completed.

Corpus is a collection of written texts and there are some websites that helps you find your way in this collection. We prepared a corpus based teaching material and a lesson plan for our imaginary high school students. You can check them from below by clicking their names. There were some difficulties of course. Teacher did not like my design, it had some cute little bats and spiders. Even a moving dog :((( She said it is childish and we need to make it more high schooly ( I know this is not a real word save your comments for yourself). I almost forgot to mention, we are group by the way. It is me, Sümeyya and Sümeyra. You can check their blogs by clicking to their names. I did not see any other difficulty besides the design, it was fun and easy. Take care my friends.

Back To The Future

                    Hi Everyone!!

          I'm back with a new course. As you guys know this blog is for educational purposes. It is 'Current Issues in Teaching' and it is for integrating the new worlds tech to our classes. I can say the only course that I enjoy is this one. Our lecturer is always properly dressed for the course, she is not some guy with messy hair from some country. We can communicate with her comfortably and these are all that I need from a course.

          After 1,5 years gap, I'm back to school and it is stil booring.I'm having a hard time catching up what is happening in my life. I have school in the mornings and work after. I must say that this lifestyle is frustrating and tiring. However, we all need to stay on the path that goes to the happiness. Take care my friends.

A PSA

 

              Hi Everyone!! 

   I'm back with a new project. My lecturer gave us a project which was boring at first but it turned out that I was biased. The project was preparing a PSA. I immediately thought about animals (as always). The video was already in my mind. All I had to do was editing. 

    My friends (Şevval Yılmaz and Doğa Şarlayan) took part in the text preparation and voice-over part, and I took care of the editing.  We have prepared a video that I like very much.  In the preparation part, I used the application called "adobe premiere rush".  The fact that the application does not recognize some of the photos and videos made the assignment difficult.  I had to find the mobile version of the app and complete it from my phone.  Even though there were setbacks, it was fun to solve them and prepare the assignment.  If I ever become a teacher, I will definitely assign a similar assignment to my students.
