Flipping a Classroom: An Innovative Way of Teaching
When I first heard about the flipping classroom approach, I was really surprised and tought "How can you even flip a classroom? What an interesting consept!". Do not worry if it is your first time encontering this concept, because I will explain it right now. It is basically an approach that enables teachers to pre teach the lesson before coming to the physical classroom so that students can actually have time to practice and actively engage with the relevant material in the classroom.
When it comes to the advantages and disadvantages, with the help of this approach, time constraints and limited practice would be minimized. Teachers could detect what students have learned and what they are lacking. Also, more practice could ensure a more permanent learning.
Unfortunately, nothing comes without its downsides. The inaccesibility to the internet or technological devices can hinder the process. Also, if the students do not fullfill their responsibilities on time, such as watching the pre-recorded lesson videos, in class activities could be meanigless for them.
For our task, we were supposed to create a flipped teaching video for 5th grade public school students. We chose to teach them some vocabulary items and our topic is "Animals".
Finding and deciding on a video creating tool was not easy. However, all of us did some research and lastly decided to use "Powtoon" as our tool. Powtoon is a nice platform that has various elements such as animations, visual effects and editing tools. It helped us a lot while creating our video however, not being able to work at the same time was a huge problem for us and we had to take turns to edit the video. That's why, while two of us edited the video other two found the materials to use in it such as the pictures, audio etc. Everyone took a part in the creation process and we divided the voiceover into equal parts. At the end, we managed to create the video together! :)
My teammates are: Aslı Özyıldırım, Beyza Zabun and Yasemin Sağır
You can watch the the video from this link:
This is the ASSURE lesson plan:

For the second draft, we added the voiceover and made some small changes such as adding
new visual elements etc. Also, we finished some parts of the ASSURE lesson plan that were not complete before.
