Most of the flipped classrooms begin online and end in the classroom. To my knowledge, the students prepare ahead of class time to see the lecture and what the class is about. During class time, they collaborate with other students on what would normally be homework or activities they would complete outside of class. The point of this is that most of the lecture gets taken up during class time. By already knowing the lecture, students can put their knowledge of the lecture to use with their classmates and work together so they all understand the lecture.

OER (open education resources) are resources that everyone can access. Most of these are online. As we know there are websites like Wikipedia that allow people to edit information and change it, but is available to everyone. There are obviously more credible websites than Wikipedia but this is just an example. People have blogs and websites for you to learn all about a topic. I wanted more people to understand OER so I found a blog that talks about these. https://libguides.tcc.edu/faculty/OER/blogs. As we can see, it lets everyone access this information while teaching people about a topic they might not be fully aware of.

Powerpoint has so many more options than I have learned. I think that it was amazing that you are able to record your voice over the powerpoint and make it with keynote. I had no idea that recording your voice was an option. For the second powerpoint, I learned that you can practically let people choose their own destiny. It was amazing seeing some of the powerpoints that were created. I was frustrated with my mac though with some of the triggers. I think that is the only thing I did not like about powerpoint. I did choose your own song, and it took a while for everything to work. When you clicked on the keys of the keyboard, it would actually play that note. While it was really cool, it was very frustrating.

I don't normally see public schools that have teacher resources out publicly. When teachers post inside of websites such as canvas where it is more catered to you, then they post resources. If there is something public, it would just give the basic information about how to contact the person. An example of this is the website for my mom's school. When you open up the faculty page it just provides teachers emails. However, there is a section for different grade levels, and it explains what they will learn by the time they graduate from that grade and what tools they incorporate. This is the website I used: http://www.cks-school.org/academics/ec4.cfm I can definitely use technology to help my students out. I feel that computer labs would be very beneficial for students to have so they can learn how to type. In my computer class, we had covers for the keys so we could try to memorize where the keys were. On top of that, we had a mini quiz/ fun activity to see how fast...

I really like that you can make comments on other people's comments. It was very difficult trying to find out who commented back on your post, but by highlighting and emphasizing something important that they say makes it easier for people to see. Overall Diigo is a great website. You can share multiple resources with your classmates and your teachers. You can share with either classmates, teammates or professionals some sources that you found if you are working on group projects and people can comment on some information that they can use for the project or whatever you wanted to use Diigo for. It is a great way to share information and similar websites that people can check out. There are 6 major points of Bloom's taxonomy. They are: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. For powerpoint, it is good to remember some notes or important points that you would want to incorporate in your powerpoint lesson. It can also help with understanding because the more...

So far my experience with Twitter is really good. Some of my classmates put really good criticisms and websites for me to look at. I often find myself, @-ing classmates, saying how amazing the technology is that they shared and some of their articles they post. It is a great way to communicate with classmates even if you are not in class. I really liked designing the website because it let me discuss a topic that I was interested in and also had creative license to design it the way I liked. I thought that everything was really easy for me to input like the calendar. There really was not any issues, but everything took a lot of time like any good website. I also inputted personal pictures that I took in France which was fun. https://eme2040fre.weebly.com/ I loved learning about technology that is able to help people with disabilities. I remember when I was in elementary school, I would take my free period and work with the special needs kids. They had a really cool hammock but ...
