The flipped classroom strategy is when teachers prerecord themselves lecturing materials and assigns the video has homework. I believe this strategy is helpful because students will know what will be discussed in the classroom. However, I doubt that kids will pay attention to the videos once they are in their home.

Open educational resources are free materials provided by an institution for learning purposes. Anyone can have access to the material, even if they are not a student, for the experience. A website that any school can provide material is on OER commons (click here for link). Unlike universities, who can afford a private open educational website, any teacher can use this website.

I personally enjoyed creating the PowerPoint for Information Dissemination assignment.  In the classroom, I was always curious as to how my teachers created the jeopardy game they created. I liked how this form of PowerPoint feels like a game, rather than a lecture. The information dissemination could be used to test my students’ materials that we have been reviewing in the classroom.
