Post 9

The Flipped Classroom inverts traditional teaching methods of what happens in the class and what happens at home. Students watch video lectures online at home provided by the teachers before going into class. Then they engage in activities on what should have been learned by watching the videos and are able to get a better understanding of the topic from the teacher and peers. This type of method allows students to learn through activity instead of just traditional lectures alone. It also allows the teacher the time to explain in greater detail difficult concepts if the student already has some sort of prior knowledge by watching podcasts and videos.

Open content are learning and instructional materials that teachers can download and use in the classroom. The content must be retained, revised, remixed, reused, or redistributed. It sort of works like a copyright because it gives instruction as to what you can and cannot do with the materials online. This allows teachers to share material because the creators give others permission to do so by using the 5 Rs.

For the PowerPoint Information Dissemination assignment as well as the PowerPoint Interaction assignment a few new skills that I learned was how to hyperlink within the PowerPoint, how to navigate where things should go, and how to disable linear functions. Other than that I was pretty skilled in using PowerPoint. I knew how to change designs and layouts and to add animations and transitions. It was fun adding more interactive things in the presentation because in high school we normally just make Powerpoints information based without extra effort in making it seem fun. In the future I'll definitely make presentations more fun and interactive.
