#9- "flipped classroom," "open," and PowerPoint

In a "flipped" classroom, short videos are the most important piece. They could be created and posted by the instructor or from an online repository.  This encourages individual effort at home as well as collaborative effort in the classroom.  Click here for a link to free flipped classroom resources. The Khan Academy is a website that has educational videos.

Open includes education, content, and sources.  It basically is "open" for everyone to use and share.  Just like the podcast said, there is a "wealth of information" available and "open." I think one example might be Edmodo (although I'm not certain of this.)  Teachers share information and sources there.  I found another website that seems like it provides a plethora of information. It is a virtual reality download that assists in the educational experience. It is free and open to whomever would like to access it. Click here to check out the website.

I learned a lot from this assignment.  I learned how to record your voice and how to time everything perfectly.  The basic things I already knew from previous assignments and presentations but the voice recording was really cool! I also learned how to hide the speaker and things like that.  This project was definetly a learning experience for me.  I feel prepared to make "crap[ppy]" Power Points in the future. :)  I can use it to teach my students and even post online for study use with my voice in the background.  One thing I didn't like was how you can't hyperlink in the notes. This was slightly inconvenient. Hyperlinking in the notes could be beneficial if you don't want it on the slide but still want it for reference.  I also didn't like the template I chose but I spent a long time trying to find one and in the process downloaded who knows what on my computer. It was a struggle so I just ended up with this online template.  In the future I will probably just use my own templates. Below is a screen shot of the power point. I had fun making it.
