Flipped Teaching

 Hello everyone,

In this blog post, we will discuss the idea of flipped teaching, along with its main ideas, advantages, and ways it's changing education in the future.

What is flipped teaching?

Flipped teaching is an innovation in education that challenges traditional methods while encouraging a more student-centered approach. In a flipped classroom, students participate in lectures and readings outside of class, often accessing online resources or videos. After that, class time is dedicated to interactive, group projects, conversations, and problem-solving activities that let students put what they've learned into practice. Flipped learning has many benefits, including more individualized learning and higher levels of engagement. However, some drawbacks must be considered, such as differences in technology and the requirement for teachers and students to adjust. This advanced technology teaching method can help minimize the negative aspects and optimize the advantages with a well-planned implementation strategy.

My peer Arda Duraker and I worked collaboratively to explore benefits and learn how to implement flipped teaching in our language classes. We created an instructional vocabulary video about games and hobbies for 5th-grade students. We used Animaker as our tool, and we enhanced our video with visuals and GIFs to demonstrate the meaning of the words that we were going to teach. However, it was challenging to create an animation and design each slide along with our voices in the beginning while using our tool, I realized how much it is enjoyable and nourishing to create a teaching video using technology because Animaker provides nearly infinitive choices and opportunities to materialize your purposes. 

Here is the video we created

Also, we prepared a quiz for our students to exercise;
