My Learning Journey

UNIT 1: UNPACKING BELIEFS

1. How do you currently incorporate technology into your teaching methods?

Teaching small children especially Year 1 and 2 can be challenging when it comes to having them engaged and focused while in the classroom. To be at par with their energy and curiosity I need to equip myself with variety of teaching methods including using technology as one of the tools. Teaching language through songs, videos, movies, or clips keep the lesson alive and fun!

I use technology in a way that supports their learning through play, visuals, and interaction. I often incorporate educational videos, digital storybooks, and interactive games to introduce or reinforce topics in a fun and engaging way. 

2. Do different technology integration levels impact student learning experiences? If so, can you explain? 

Yes, of course. In a flipped classroom, technology is key to engaging students before, during, and after class. Teachers deliver pre-class content through short video lessons using tools like Edpuzzle, or YouTube, and share them via platforms such as Google Classroom. To boost engagement, interactive tools like Kahoot! are likely be used for quizzes and polls.

Teachers provide real-time feedback with tools like Edpuzzle, using analytics to personalize learning and ensure all students are supported in a dynamic, student-centered environment. The advancement of technology is inevitable, but its true impact lies in how we choose to apply it. In a flipped classroom, technology becomes a tool for active, student-centered learning—shifting focus from passive instruction to deeper engagement and stronger outcomes. Let's go!

UNIT 3: REVISITING FLIPPED CLASSROOM

1. Define flipped classroom in your own words.

A flipped classroom is where students explore the lesson content at home—like watching videos or doing short activities—so that when we meet in class, we can spend more time doing fun, hands-on stuff, solving problems, and really digging into the topic together. It’s like flipping the script on how we usually learn. 

2. How do you think flipped classroom can be applied in your own words?

In my classroom, flipped learning means students engage with the core content—like videos, readings, or simple tasks—before coming to class. This way, when we meet, we can focus on applying what they’ve learned through discussions, group work, and hands-on activities. It gives students more ownership of their learning, and it lets me use class time more meaningfully—to support, guide, and challenge them in real-time.
