        A flipped classroom is something that more and more teachers are using. This is the concept that instead of having traditional homework that goes along with the lecture done in class the students watch the lecture at home and do in class activities that correspond. A flipped classroom has been shown to be a more productive way of students learning. This concept forces students to work through the work and forces them to work it out and usually students will find a solution and become more confident in their skills. Flipping the Classroom.
     In the podcast there were multiple terms used that used that I could have chose to look up. I chose the term Open content. This is "describe any copyrightable work (traditionally excluding software, which is described by other terms like "open source") that is licensed in a manner that provides users with free and perpetual permission to engage in the 5R activities". This is important for teachers to know what resources they can use without running into copy right laws. Teachers use open content allot in their classrooms in order to provide other resources for children to use. The website I used in order to gain more knowledge was https://opencontent.org/definition/. this Website has so many great ways to learn more about Open Content and all that it can do to help aid teachers and students learning. 

       The two power point assignments this week were very different considering that they were both done using the same application. The first power point was the kind that I felt very comfortable with the assignment and it was easy to produce and put together without getting confused. However, the non-linear power point was much more challenging. I learned that power points can move in a different order from the typically sequential order. The challenging part was learning how to make the hyperlink within the power point and having it take you to another slide. This required me to watch multiple videos in order to gain the skills to complete the task. Overall I think that power point is a great tool and can be used in multiple different ways.
