Blog Post #9

The flipped classroom involves students listening to or watching lectures at home and working on homework or classwork during the class time. This allows students to be able to ask specific questions during their class time. For three of my four years in high school, my math classes had this flipped style. I really enjoyed it because you were able to get all your work don’t in class. Also, I was able to get any questions I had on the homework answered as I was doing it in class. With the flipped classroom method, it allows students to re watch lectures or refer back to them whenever they may need. This video shows how a flipped classroom works and could be helpful for teachers who are deciding if they want to use this method in their classroom.


Open education, context, and sources refer to things or information that is open to the public and doesn’t require admission to access. These typed of things are typically offered online. One main advantage to open education is that it is free. Students will be willing to learn more if they have proper materials and if they do not have to pay for them. Open education offers just that for students. More information on open education can be found at this link.


While working on the two PowerPoint assignments, a new skill I learned was how to disable the linear progress of the slides. I never knew this was possible and I think it is very helpful because it makes student have to actually work through the presentation rather than just pressing the arrow keys. I think both of these assignments were fun because we were able to create power points on anything we wanted. I’ve always liked making PowerPoints because they are fun to make and don’t really seem like work.
