An Advanced Teaching Technique: Flipped Classroom Approach

      Hello There! Today, I will be talking about an unusual teaching method that we covered in my last class. This uncommon method is the flipped classroom approach! Unlike the traditional classroom model where teachers lecture during class and students complete assignments at home, a flipped classroom offers a teaching context where students only come to class to complete their assignments with their teacher while watching their courses online wherever they want. Students first access interactive online content, videos, and readings provided by their teachers before diving deeper levels of their topics. The flipped classroom has many benefits and positive outcomes. Active engagement is one of the key benefits of flipped classrooms since the whole lesson time is dedicated to activities. Also, a flipped classroom offers a personalized learning environment as students can watch their lessons wherever they can and as much as they want.       So, in our a...

But for disadvantages, not all students can have a device that is connected to the internet. So this technology can only be implemented in certain classrooms for now. For our assignment, we ...

      Hello there! Today, I will introduce my last assignment for this term! In my last task, as a group, we created a worksheet that is integrated with generative AI tools. As you know AI tools are getting more and more common among students and teachers. Generative AI tools can be both beneficial and detrimental for us, depending on how we use them. Nowadays, it is very prevalent among students to use AI tools like ChatGPT for assignments and homework. This situation affects students' learning progress negatively. So, it is important to know how to use AI tools as a teacher, and also we have to inform our students about this topic. If we want to benefit from a generative AI tool in our lessons, we should clearly explain our topic and our aims to students. So, we designed a worksheet where students use generative AI tools to create a story based on 3 different genres. First, we introduced the tasks. Then, students completed the tasks according to the instructions by usin...
