A paragraph about “The Flipped Classroom.” Explain this
instructional design by referring to chapter 10 and link to a source of
educational videos.
Flipped
classrooms take on the task of learning by a different approach, in hopes of
facilitating and maximizing student learning teachers and students do a lot
more work outside of the classroom than a typical class may. Students listen to
a lecture or watch a video on the new content prior to coming to school and
then once they are at school they can ask questions and work on solidifying new
techniques. This approach to teaching requires access to outside resources such
as the internet for students to view the direct instruction put together by
their teacher. This style of learning while it may take more on both the
student and the teachers part can allow for much more personalized learning and
facilitation of information that may not be able to be offered in a traditional
classroom. Teachers can personalize each lesson individually so that it caters
the needs of each students rather than an in-class lesson that may be more of a
generalize learning approach.

Having open education
allows for the information and tools taught inside of the classroom to be more
readily available on a wide range for those outside of the class, giving access
to anyone and everyone who cares to view it. The four focus points of open
content for education are reuse, revise, remix and redistribute and these are
all in terms of how you share and upload the information to students and for
what purpose. Because open education has become such a big thing, there are
more websites than ever before that teachers can search for open content and
material they can share about their lesson and what they are teaching. The
possibilities are endless for Open education, there are so many different
softwares and operating systems that teachers can use that they can choose
whichever one they feel most comfortable with using. A lot of teachers have
found that trial and error methods have been proven to work best, it gives
teachers and students the opportunity to see which software or program they
like the best and they use that one rather than being stuck using something
that they do not like. To master this, it takes a lot of modifying content and
changing it that’s where the revising and remixing comes in handy so that the
content meets your individual needs.

From creating
these PowerPoint assignments, I learned how to create an interactive quiz, test
or game such as jeopardy. Prior to this assignment I was unaware how you do
live action or directions such as next, previous and end the slide show. I think
it is cool how you can do these things and I am very thankful that we learned
how to do this in class. The two at home assignments we fun to create, I did
them by myself and, so I was able to create a PowerPoint video and a quiz that I
could potentially use when I am a teacher. I did not like how the assignments
had to be a certain length because I felt like I was repeating myself a lot. But
overall, I enjoyed both assignments.
