Digital Storytelling

Hi, world! Our last task was digital storytelling. Again, there were options and we (Zelal, Mehmet Ali and I) chose to prepare a "How to..?" video. Honestly, I suggested choosing that because it seemed easier than the others but I was wrong. We spent days trying to choose an idea for it. We came up with different ideas over and over but could not decide. Finally, we agreed on making origami because it was fun and exactly a "how to" video. Then, we told each other what we can do and assigned tasks. Shooting the video, vocalization and editing... It was tiring but I am satisfied with the video and the origami frog we made 😊.

You can watch the video and try it yourself if you want !

This task can provide a lot in a language classroom since it requires the production of language. Students will create content, maybe write a script, read it and at the same time they will hear themselves speaking. It is an all-purpose and ideal task for learners.

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
