The experience of the first day of engaging in the Moving Towards Flipped Learning course was very exciting. The introduction to SAMR model in integrating technology in lesson is a very meaningful and significant exposure for me as a teacher even though I only teach level 1 students in Primary School. 

I need to plan a lesson that is very meaningful and interesting to the students and so that they are better prepared with the topics that will be taught. This not only increases the interest of bright students but also encourages the engagement of weak students. I hope can learn more into the various technologies that can be used in all my teaching and learning activities in the future.

As I reflect on the training and discussion session, I am excited about the potential of digital portfolios to revolutionize assessment practices and amplify student voice and agency in their learning journey. Moving forward, I am eager to integrate digital portfolios into my teaching strategies, leveraging them as dynamic tools to foster deeper engagement, reflection, and growth among my students. With a newfound appreciation for the transformative power of digital portfolios, I am committed to nurturing a learning environment where students are empowered to take ownership of their learning and showcase their unique talents and achievements.

It was illuminating to use Edpuzzle and Screencastify in my class. Edpuzzle's seamless integration of notes and questions made it simple for me to produce interesting video content. Seeing how this platform might enable students to learn at their own pace was satisfying, especially when they had the ability to insert links for additional research.

However, despite the fact that Screencastify's recording and editing features had some limits, it was still a useful tool for making educational videos. I saw its promise even with the additional preparation time needed, especially for teaching writing and speaking abilities.

All things considered, using these tools in my class gave me new ways to improve student engagement and learning objectives. It served as a helpful reminder of how crucial it is to modify teaching strategies in light of the varied demands of pupils in the current digital era. I'm eager to go deeper into these resources and find even more opportunities to improve my teaching methods.

Making a plan for flipped learning makes me think carefully about how to teach and how students join in. It means we need to think hard about how to share information, what tools to use, and how to test students in a flipped classroom setup. When I think about this process, I realise how important it is to give students stuff to look at before class, so they're excited and ready for when we meet in person.

Making tests that check if students really understand and can use what they've learned is super important for making sure flipped learning works. Also, planning fun group activities and letting students work together helps create a cool learning vibe where everyone feels involved. Remembering to be flexible and to adjust to how different students learn is key when you're setting up flipped learning.

So, when you make a flipped learning plan, we are basically mixing new ideas, teaching methods, and focusing on what's best for students in today's schools.
