Flipped Classroom


   It was the first time this week that I got introduced to this new way of active learning. I found it very interesting and enjoyable, and I wish I had more seminars using this method. What I really enjoyed is the fact that you can be anywhere, and all you need is internet access and a sofa where to stay comfortable. On the other side, you have your friends and your professor that can respond to your questions any time. Through videos you have the possibility to learn about your lesson in a different way, plus through comments you can express your opinion, or ask questions as well. I am very enthusiastic about using this method in my future as a teacher.

I think, that by using this method we can help students work on their own space and pace. What I find also as an advantage of flipped classrooms is that through videos or online texts we give the opportunity to students to learn about the content before attending classes, as well as to reflect on them using different projects or assignments. This reflection can be achieved by asking our students about the content of the texts or videos that they were presented to. In this way, as teachers we get a feedback from our students whether they got the gist of the lesson that they were presented, or if they have any questions.

I think that I can use flipped classrooms by including different apps to make the classroom organized , to maintain students motivation, to save time and what is more important to make them communicate with one another. Firstly, I would apply Google classroom so that students get to know the lesson before they go to classrooms. Secondly, I would also be enthusiastic about applying Edpuzzle on my classrooms, as a new way through which I can check whether students have seen posted videos, how often they have seen them, or if they have understood the content of it. Padlet, can be another interesting app that I can use, where students are provided with the opportunity to cooperate with each other and also to increase their productivity. The last app could be Quizizz, through which I can provide the chance to my students to enjoy their class through various games, and what is more important to make them enjoy their time.

    All in all, using flipped classrooms can be very helpful and effective. As the opposite of traditional teaching, here students learn about their lesson before they attend classes, so there is more time left for activities and group works.As future teachers we will have more opportunities to focus on students’ questions or problems. As a teacher to be I am really passionate about using this method in my classes, and I believe also that my pupils will be excited about this method.  What about you guys, do you find it a good method to apply at your classes? 

 Thank you for reading my post.

    I like your post a lot Izabeta and the video also. You are very clear when it comes to the expectations that you have about your future as a teacher.
    To the question in the end...
    I agree up to a point...Each of us must make a kind of organisation when it comes to flipping classrooms because not all the students find then comfortable!

multiple intelligences and multimedia

Before I read about Multiple Intelligences, I did not know that much things about this topic, or  their enormous effect on the productivity of students. As I was introduced to the topic it made me think about our level of intelligence, but then I realized it was completely different. I found many facts related to this topic attention-grabbing and very informative. While I was reading I was thinking about some teachers that I have had in the past whose class was not successful. What I realized during the text was that they did not lack any knowledge about their subject, but the reason behind that was that they did not know how to make us learn better.   This was related to multiple intelligences discovered by Howard Gardner.   Multiple intelligences mean that each of us has different ways of learning things, and we do not belong only to a category, but we might belong to a combination of them. Gardner suggests that each person has nine intelligences in different amounts: 1.

A Reflection on Webinars

Image
         To start with, I am really passionate about this way of teaching that we were introduced this week "Webinars". We are used to being taught in a class full of students, with our professor in front of us, with an overhead projector screen, but this is not the case with webinars. At the first moment that I saw what webinars were about and how they functioned, it immediately made me think of face-time. It seemed to me as if they were people chatting with one another,and the only distinction was that their topic was related to teaching. While I was watching the two videos that we were introduced, about the way how a lesson can be used, it completely changed my previous idea. I realized that webinars are seminars performed on Web, which can be of different types such as; conferences, meetings or teaching like the one that we were introduced.      Before a teacher plans a lesson there are a lot of questions that he/she wants to answer. Some of these questions might be

A Reflection on Juniors conference

Image
Hello guys, today I will talk about our conference on Friday. As some of you were not present that day, I hope that this post will make you visualize it. It was a wonderful day, and to me it was the best experience ever. At the beginning it was difficult to work with these projects and what was really hard, was the part that I was a member of two presentations. Despite the harsh time and difficulties in the end everything turned out to be a success. Together with our friends we worked hard for a couple of weeks, we spent a lot of time together sharing and changing ideas. Professor Daniela and Professor Aileen were always there to help us with ideas or critics and they were always pushing us to do even more.  At the beginning, I thought that it would be something really easy to be done, I thought that it would be just like those presentations that we have had in class, but actually it was completely different. We had to work with each other at late hours, because we had also othe
