WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE STUDENTS                       GOOD READERS, BETTER RESEARCHERS                     AND MORE CURİOUS????



New generation students started to find everything ready. They "google" what they want to know, then use "copy-paste"

I can summarize all my opinions about this subject in a question.
How should students use internet to do reaserch instead of finding everything ready?

I need some help to show students internet doesn't only meran usine "Facebook" or "twitter" to talk about their daily habits.



When I started to use "Flipped Classroom" idea some of my students opened a gmail account for the first time.
 They got used to checking their inbox, trying "Google Docs"  or "Google Forms". But last week I realised something. 

Some of them who use Facebook and/or Twitter, are stubborn to use "Google Forms". They think that it's so difficult to use. ( Their duty is just to click the link and choose some of the answers.)


  • Is it a reaction to learn new concepts or a deficiency of internet usage??







They should become good readers, researchers and curious pupils because everything is in change so that the necessities are.

They should constitute new jobs and business areas.





  • What should we do about this issue???

My  Formula : "Flipped Classroom" 

                                         

                        and 

              My Assistants : Google Apps





PANİC...  You feel very stressed  when you fall behind  the curriculum . In these circumstances you can't do anything except mistakes.
I found a formula. I started to implement "Flipped Classroom" to my classes.

  • Which points should we flip ? 

İf we don't want to lose so much time for our lecture, we can make a lesson plan for preparing an online class, outside the classroom. As a result of this homeworks can be done during class hours.

  • How can we prepare lessons?
You can prepare a video with 

At this step my assistant applications like "Google Apps" can help us.





You can share these videos in "Goggle Docs" or  " Youtube" for your students.





Then you can upload a small exercise and check the answers with "Google Forms".


In addition I use  "Flubaroo" to check the answers and send the results to students via e-mail.  


  Finally according to the answers of the students you can build your lesson. As a result all these tasks the students can be ready to do more exercises during CLASSROOM.

Intrinsically teachers should work  for a specified period. But I think this method can teach the students
 "How to  learn".
