Changing the Traditions: Making a Flipped Classroom Video

 Hello everyone!


I wish you all a happy new year! I hope everything goes well for you in 2024!


Today our topic is the flipped classroom approach. It is an approach that flips everything, as the name suggests. Students do their homework in the class and learn the topic before coming to school, they can learn the topic with videos, podcasts, worksheets etc.. This approach brings some advantages and disadvantages. This approach lets students to ben on the center of the learning process. But at the same time, the teacher should always check their students' learning, as the students, in some conditions, can lose their interest in the learning material. 


My partner was Meryem Kılıç, don't forget to check her blog from here, in this assignment. We decided to teach "present continuous tense" in our flipped classroom video. Our target audience is 9th graders. We gave importance to Mayer's principles in the video. 


We narrated the video, but this procedure was painful. We were actually going to record it together, but the fate didn't let us. To solve that, I asked Meryem to send me her voice recordings while she narrated the video, and then I combined them to mine recordings. That way we got a decent video in our hands. In addition, we put a sample exercise at the end of our video, like the ones that the students do while they are in the class. We used Wordwall to create the sample activity. You can see our sample activity from here.


And here is our flipped classroom video.



Until then, take care <3
