21st Century Learning & Skills

Since the beginning of the 21st century, technology has entered our lives faster than a speeding bullet. It inevitably caused and keeps causing changes in every aspect of life.Thus, the best way to be prepared for those changes is to adjust our education system accordingly.

It can be generally agreed that education in our time is more complex than it was before. Because people need different skills to lead their lives which can basically be summarized as 4C (Critical thinking, communication, creativity, collaboration). For a better carrier, education is now being built on these skills from elemantary to highschool.  With technology integrated classrooms and appropriate curriculum, students are easily and unconsciously adapted to 4C. Teachers have an important role in acquisition of 21st century skills. With the homeworks, technology integrated tasks and in-class activities they apply, students automatically become 21st century’s successful learners. 

 

        On the other hand, today’s business world does not seek for basic skills such as just completing the routine of the job. They look for employees who can solve problems, work in harmony with other colleagues and make their own decisions without being controlled. Being capable of these does not help people only in business but also in their personal lives.

Flipped Teaching Video

 Hello everyone! For this task, my friend Zelal and I prepared a flipped teaching video. I will explain what flipped teaching is shortly. The flipped classroom approach is a teaching model that reverses the traditional roles of in-class lectures and homework assignments. Instead, students learn new concepts at home through pre-recorded lectures or other instructional materials and apply their knowledge during class time through interactive activities, discussions, and collaboration with peers. The advantages of using this method in language classes include flexibility for students to learn at their own pace, active learning which involves more interaction and participation, collaboration which encourages teamwork and peer-to-peer learning, and personalization where teachers can tailor lesson plans to meet individual needs. However, some disadvantages may include technical issues such as access to technology and reliable internet, lack of motivation for some students, time constraints

AR/VR Integrated Materials: EDINBURGH

 Hi everyone! It is time to create again. We studied AR/VR integration into educational materials. They provide engaging and interactive learning experiences, including 3D models, virtual experiments, and collaborative virtual classrooms. These tools revolutionize education by making abstract concepts more tangible, fostering active learning, and expanding the possibilities of remote education. Now, we are preparing an AR/VR integrated material. My friend Zelal and I chose to go on a 3D trip to the fascinating city of Edinburgh.

Flipped Teaching Video

     Hello everyone! We're back together with an entertaining and different task. We prepared a flipped teaching video. Let me explain what the flipped classroom approach is. In a flipped classroom, there is a strategic swap of lectures and homework. While traditional methods are based on lecturing in class time and giving homework to do at home, the flipped classroom approach does the opposite. In this approach, students watch the lessons at home Netflix-style, and practice in the classroom. To adapt to the changing world, educators find this method very useful and fun. Students are able to see whether or not they completely understand and are capable of putting theory into real life. If there is a question they need to ask their teacher, they can do it right away and this is a huge plus for this method. There are also some disadvantages such as access to technology. To be able to successfully apply this method, all students need to have access to technology outside the classroom
