A flipped classroom is a teacher-created approach to leanring in a different enviroment than the traditional classroom that we all know. In this approach, students learn the material and are taught the lesson at home, through video and online homework lessons. Then, the in-class time is used to practice and do acitivies that would normally be sent home as homework. This can be a great change for those students who aren't able to really grasp new concepts in a classroom setting, and then have toruble practicing and doing homework at home without the teachers help. A big problem teachers see with this idea is that some students fail to do the at-home lesson, and come to class confused as to what the practice is on. Either way, I feel as if either of these approaches have their own issues.
Open Educational Resources, or OER, are recourses that are available and accessable to anyone to use in a variety of ways. Most of them are posted online, so they can be found around the world. There are 5 rights that describe how OER's are used: retain, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute. This is because these resources are created for teachers as well as students and they are encouraged to change them, edit them, and make them better, to add things that someone before might not have thought of. You know what they say: two heads are better than one.
A great resource for OER's is the OER commons. This is a giant data base full of resources for students and teachers, and even has templates for you to create your own and contribute to other's resources. Find it here: https://www.oercommons.org
Between both of our EME 2040 powerpoint projects, I used so many new skills that I never thought exsisted on powerpoint. We use powerpoint all through primary and secondary school, so we tend to think we are all experts when it comes to using it. However, I wish I would've had to take a class sooner in life to learn these skills since they would have been so helpful to me through my years in school. From the first project, I loved learning about how to make a voice thread type recording connecting it to my powerpoint. I think this will be super helpful when wanting to add notes to an already-finished powerpoint. Our second project was so much fun to create. I had no idea you could create games other than jepordy, by disabling the clicking through and adding buttons instead. I think for future classes, it could definetely be shorter with less slides and still cover all of the necessary skills.
Take a look at two screenshots from both of my powerpoint projects:
