The "Flipped Classroom" is an instructional approach in which students engage in reading materials, quizzes, and typical lecture-style classroom activities at home, online. Students prepare themselves for the in-class activities by learning the content outside of the classroom setting. The online activities - things like simulations, discussions, peer tutoring and feedback, Q & A - allow students to learn at their preferred pace, as online learning typically offers playback, slowed down readings, and enlarged text to aid all levels of readers. By giving students time to master the content, they can feel confident and prepared to engage in the related, follow-up in-class activity.
Open Educational Resources (OER) are learning resources accessible to anyone, offer a diverse amount of educational uses, and are typically found online. "Open" items permit people to edit or remix, share, and use content freely. The five R's of OER and examples of these R's include: downloading content (retain), using content in a video (reuse), translate content to a different language (revise), creating something new from already existing content (remix), and giving out copies of worksheets in a classroom (redistribute).
The website, oercommons.org, provides a vast amount of OERs for teachers, with lesson plans in lecture style, games, simulations, labs, etc. This specific link is to a detailed lesson plan that is completely free and available for teachers to use in a high school English class: 10th Grade ELA: Information Fluency (OER Commons).
From working on the PowerPoint assignments, I explored the "Slide Master" function, in which I can create my own slide format from the theme of the PPT I am using. This was confusing at first, as the blank white slides that replaced all my detailed slides I had just spent hours on disappeared when opening this design tool. However, once I played around with the "Slide Master" actions, I was easily able to produce an original slide design and implement it in my PPT. I did not enjoy using "SmartArt", as I found it difficult to align and size the different boxes of each graphic organizer to match. For next time, I will work on mastering "SmartArt" and hope I can soon easily create and design professional graphic organizers. Overall, I implemented various skills I did not struggle with using, but had never used in a PPT before, such as adding footers and page numbers, formatting my own slide, and creating graphic organizers from scratch.
