The “ flipped classroom” is an alternative model for teaching students in K-12 and beyond.  The model is based on using classroom time for particular types of learning and allowing students, through video lectures to learn content at home on their own time and then come to class for more engaging forms of learning that can only be completed while students are in class.  This model allows educators more time to ensure student understanding of each concept and more well-rounded learning to occur for each student.

The other project involved skills that I have used before in powerpoint. I thought that the idea of a hyperlink game is amazing for education—I actually did this for my first ILP with a flashcard-style game.

I enjoyed the second project more overall I enjoyed the fact that it was the game and I liked putting in all the animations and coming up with questions rather than a lesson. Next time,

This is not something that I’ve ever done in PowerPoint before and next time I think I would be better prepared for giving a good and well-timed narration.

Here are parts of my two power points:
