The Flipped Classroom began as a
way for absent students to obtain the lectures they missed, it later expanded into
“flipping” the way students and teachers spent classroom time. Instead of students
having to listen to their teachers’ lectures on the content and then working
with the content as homework, students listen to prerecorded video lectures for
homework before going to class. During class time, students work with the
content individually or in groups, alongside their teacher clarifying and
deepening their understanding of the content.
Open education is about
making educational experiences available to a wider audience. One example of
open education is MIT’s open course work project. MIT courses are available on
the internet, and open to everyone. However, attending a session online is not
the same as being an actual MIT student but it does offer an opportunity. Open
content is all about what teachers can and cannot do with the material
available online; it is closely related to copyright. Open content consists of
for “R” parts: Reuse, Revise, Remix and Redistribute.
It was nice getting to use
all the interesting features Power point offers. The last time I had the chance
to play around with animations and transitions was in middle school. I liked
creating a lesson for my future students and getting to experience the process
of it all. Next time, I could improve the quality of my lesson and try to make
it a little more complex.
