What I learned!
"The Flipped Classroom" is the name of the strategy that teachers use to differ from a traditional classroom setting. This strategy, is representative of its name, and essentially means that instead of teaching in a normal classroom, the students are taught through online learning or even outside of the classroom, at home. This changes the types of activities too; instead of homework, students are participating in online discussions or are able to engage in activities at home with the help of their teacher.
Open Educational Resources are just that, resources that are "open" and accessible to every one, and they are normally distributed through online platforms. OERs are meant to be used by anybody and to be changed, edited, and shared again. The website OER Commons is a page where people can go on an easily create their own OER. The website gives you three building options: Resource Builder, Lesson Plan Builder, and Module Builder. These three options gives anybody the ability and guidance to make a useful OER for someone else to use and share. Almost coincidentally, that makes this website an OER in itself. Here is the link if you want to check it out (https://www.oercommons.org/).
While working with PowerPoint to make assignments I was able to fully understand how useful and variable PowerPoint is. Every one of my classmates projects are different and that is because PowerPoint offers many different resources and fulfills different tasks that there are endless possibilities. When I was creating my PowerPoint, I was able to grasp the full concept of making a presentation, including everything that comes with it: design, function, purpose. PowerPoint makes it super easy to navigate and do what you want, all you need is a vision. In fact, buttons can be made to where you control where your viewer will go with the PowerPoint and it is not just some boring slide show. Below is a screenshot of my first PowerPoint where I created a first grade, interactive slide show to learn Parts of Speech.
