A flipped classroom is a pedagogical model in which lectures take place at home and work is done in a standard classroom. I have first hand experience with a flipped classroom. In my 9th grade math class my teacher had attempted to maintain a flipped classroom. She would expect us to watch certain Youtube videos on a specific topic and we would use that knowledge in class the next day. She had a major problem with students not watching the videos at home. I personally do not like the flipped classroom method of teaching because not all students have reliable access to the internet. My favorite place to go when I need help in school is https://www.khanacademy.org/ . This website has a wide array of topics from kindergarten math to calculus.
Open education allows for large amounts of people to access large amounts of information. Some political leaders are urging the United Nations to make Internet a universal human right because of this reason. There are 4 main componets of open content: reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute. Reuse is meant for one person, revising and remixing are editing the content and combining it together with other information, and redistribution means distributing resources in a different way. The example the website provides is https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm , this website has a collection of MIT lectures for free. Open education is not only useful for students but for teachers as well.
I really liked the power point assignments. I learned a lot of useful skills for the future. The thing that made me angry on the first power point the sound did not work. I made sure my microphone was working and even heard the audio being played back. The second power point assignment was a lot more fun because I was not stressed about finding a topic.
