It has been a while but here we are again. One of today's topic will be the flipped classroom. The flipped classroom is exactly what it says, instead of lectures and teaching in the classroom students do that part of learning at home. The actual assignments like projects, discussion boards and things of that nature are done in the classroom when everyone meets up. This unconventional style of teaching is rare but I do believe it has a lot of merit. A lot of students need extra time intake a new learning objective, 50 minutes during class is not always enough. When at home students have that extra time to find examples and really understand the objective. While also still recieving that aid of clarification from the instructor when working on assignments in the classroom. Here is an educational resource for parents who are curious about this new way of learning.

Our next topic will be discussing the open terms. Open content is what you can and cannot use in what you find online. Teacher's mostly go online to find inspiration or resources to help motivate and educate the children in their classroom. It is only right that limits be discussed and guidelines be placed much like copyright terms. Here is an example of open links that can be used.

Finally during the past two weeks I have learned a lot about my powerpoint skills and how to use it properly within a presentation. I have learned how to make each slide flow and also how I would like to use it within my own classrooms. I feel like powerpoint presentations are very effective and it helps students follow along within the class room. Two new things I learned during these assignments is how to disable linear navigation and also how useful action buttons can be. Action buttons help navigate the presentation and also brings life to the powerpoint for student with some of the sound effects. I hope you too can take the time to explore Microsoft Powerpoint and learn how it can be useful to you within the class room.
Thanks Again for Tuning in ,
