Hello, everyone!
Flipped learning is a teaching strategy in which the traditional classroom setting is replaced with individual learning spaces.
The advantages of the flipped approach are as follows:
Students can have more control over their learning.
A flipped classroom makes course content easily accessible.
The disadvantages of the flipped approach are as follows:
Students can come to class without watching the videos.
A flipped classroom can require more preparation time.
Our assignment with my partner Buse Açıkgöz was creating a vocabulary teaching video for a flipped EFL classroom. We chose the "Animals" unit from the MEB's 5th grade English coursebook and determined twelve words from that unit. We decided to use "Animaker" to create our video. Then, we wrote a text introducing the animals, and each of us voiced half of it. We created a quiz on our content using “MagicSchool.ai” and added the questions to our video using "Edpuzzle". Finally, we completed the task by attaching our voice and sharing it on Youtube.
While doing this assignment, we encountered some problems. One of them was to pay attention to our pronunciation/intonation. We solved this with the help of online dictionaries.
You can examine the tools we used:
Animaker is a software for creating homemade videos. With the use of pre-made characters and templates, users can produce animated videos. You can visit this website by clicking here.
The platform called Magic School AI aims to automate the tedious task of lesson planning to simplify the teaching profession. You can visit the website by clicking here.
Edpuzzle is a tool that allows teachers to add different question types to Youtube videos. It is useful to test students' knowledge. You can visit the website by clicking here.

That's all from me for now. Take care, see you soon! 💜
