The concept of a “flipped classroom” is a different strategic way of instructing students in a classroom setting. The traditional style of learning normally incorporated is reversed through this strategy for students to participate more in class. For example, homework assignments that would usually be given for students to complete outside of class would now be included in class. This allows students to prepare for class activities beforehand and practice applying key concepts with feedback in class afterwards. As a result, they will be able to check their understanding once they are no longer in the classroom after the “flipped classroom” strategy is put into place.
Open educational resources are types of resources that are available for others in the public to use. They can be used in five different ways, with some of them being through revision or redistribution. This is really helpful for educators since they can use resources like these as teaching material for their classrooms, or they can even create their own resources that can be put out in the open for others to use as well. An online resource I found that fits into the category of OER is Khan Academy. This resource is an organization that provides tutorials and exercises for teachers and students to use, and the best part about it is that it’s free. Open educational resources are all free of charge anyways, so this is another great advantage of this asset. Attached is a link with more information about the online resource of Khan Academy.
The two PowerPoint assignments that I worked on recently were for Information Dissemination and Interaction. Some new skills that I acquired from them were how to use the action feature to add buttons to my slides, how to make adjustments to the mouse clicking feature, and how to add sound to the slides I created as well. What I liked about the skills I learned was how the buttons allow people who are using PowerPoint to go back and forth through transitions. However, what I disliked was disabling the mouse clicking feature since I’m already used to clicking the mouse for the advancement of each slide. I also disliked how there were limited sounds available, and I couldn’t figure out how to add more sound effects that would be relatable to what I was applying them to. In spite of these dislikes, I can improve my work in regards to using PowerPoint by being more familiar with the usage of buttons instead of clicking. I can also research more on how to download sounds into PowerPoint in order to make it more appealing. Attached are screenshots of the PowerPoint assignments I created.
