What exactly does the term "Flipped Classroom" mean? According to our textbook, Teaching and Learning with Technology, the flipped classroom is an innovative blended delivery model that currently has a following in K-12 and post secondary education. Now what the heck does that mean? This means that the teacher of the classroom would previously record their lectures and have the students listen to them prior to coming to class so that the instructor has more time to work with the students during class on the actual content that was covered in the vodcast. This is considered the "flip" of classrooms. Joe Hirsch flipped his classroom and uses Office Mix to display his lectures. Check it out: JoeHirsch's Videos.

Open education is all about making educational experiences available to a wide audience of learners. According to opensource.com, open education is a philosophy about the way people should produce, share, and build on knowledge. The podcast says that open content is what teachers can and cannot do with the downloadable instructional materials that they find online. According to www.opencontent.org/definition/, the term "open content" describes copyrightable work that is licensed in a manner that provides users with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities.
  • retain: the right to make, own and control copies of the content
  • reuse: the right to use the content in a wide range of ways
  • revise: the right to adapt, adjust, modify, or alter the content itself
  • remix: the right to combine the original or revised content with other material to create something new
  • redistribute: the right
Open source is a term that means that it is a software whose source code is open to anyone anywhere. According to

Working on the PowerPoint for Information project, I learned that I get frustrated very easily over small things. I figured out that you can put several different animations on the same object within a slide. I loved creating a game using PowerPoint and I never realized that there are so many templates that are premade for us by other people. If I were to do this again, I would choose another template. I can use this in my classroom to teach my students simple math.

  2. I feel like I have missed the last eight revision of the theory. However even so, I have gotten great pleasure reading the post and sharing the experience from the teacher. I have read the article thoroughly and I understand the author’s interest in the theory. I believe that this method of flipped classroom will be a perfect way for the kids to start learning independently. The students will now have more time to find essay online and prepare for the actual practice on the subject.
