The Flipped Classroom is the name for a style of teaching that reverses the traditional order of instruction. Traditionally, a teacher teaches a lesson in class and explains concepts. Then, students are sent home with activities relating to the lesson for homework. However, the order is opposite in The Flipped Classroom. For homework, students learn the lesson, usually through the form of an online video. In class, the teacher can lead students in activities and working through problems that apply the lesson. Some people prefer The Flipped Classroom to the traditional, but others argue that it may not be the best approach because of the digital divide and how it requires students to have access to technology.
OER refers to open educational resources. These resources are available for anyone to use, share, and change how they want. They are free, but credit should always be given. The International Society for Technology in Education posted an article that suggests five OERs because there are so many out there. One of the resources in the article is edmodo.com's "Spotlight" function that allows teachers to search for exactly the kind of OER they are looking for to save them time. Additionally, gooru.org offers free courses and lesson plans. Check out the article here.
Both of the PowerPoint Assignments taught me many new skills to use in the future. In Assignment 4, I learned how to do a voice recording over a PowerPoint, and I learned the difference between animations and transitions. In Assignment 5, I learned how to disable linear navigation and use action buttons to transition from slide to slide. I also learned how to input a sound effect using a sound effect action button. I do not like the design of my Assignment 4. Next time I would make sure there was a picture or graphic on each slide and that the background was more exciting than a solid color. However, I really liked the content of the assignment, and I thought I did a job teaching how to write a paper. For my Assignment 5, I think that I should have varied my slide layouts more because it seems a bit repetitive and boring. However, I think I made good use of photos and graphics.
