Creating a Flipped Classroom Video

 Hello everyone! 😊

I want to share our experience of creating a vocabulary teaching video for a flipped classroom. Our teacher assigned this homework and gave us two weeks to complete it. We worked as a group of four. The process was challenging, but we shared the tasks as a group. For this task, we picked the Fıtness unit from the MEB Grade 5 English coursebook and focused on teaching key vocabularies about it.

At first, our teacher suggested tools like Powtoon, Edpuzzle, and Animaker, but we decided to use Canva because it was easier and faster for us. Canva allowed us to add visuals, animations, and our own voice recordings to make the video more interesting. After finishing the video, we created a quiz using Wordwall to help students practice the vocabulary. We wanted the video to be engaging and informative, so we created a story around a sporty family, the Smith Family, who would help introduce the vocabulary.

The flipped classroom approach allows students to learn new content at home through videos, so class time can be used for practice and activities. The flipped classroom has some clear advantages. Students can learn at their own pace and review the material as needed. It also allows teachers to spend more class time on activities where students apply what they’ve learned. However, there are also disadvantages. Not all students have the same access to technology, which can make it hard for them to watch videos at home. Also, creating videos can take a lot of time for teachers, and it can be a challenge to make sure students are ready for class if they don’t complete the video lessons.

Finally, it was a fun experience, and we learned a lot about preparing materials for a flipped classroom. I hope you liked hearing about our work—stay tuned for more updates! 🌟
