The "Flipped Classroom" is a different way of teaching and learning. What happens in a flipped classroom is that students are assigned to view recorded lectures at home that their instructors prepare for them. The students do this before they discuss the material in a classroom setting. Since students already have a basis of the material due to the lectures, the teacher and students spend class time actually engaging with the material, analyzing it, and discussing it. I find this method to be pretty useful, it gives students a chance to be able to use the teacher as a resource during activities. Biology videos.  New skills I learned with the two PowerPoint assignments was the use of the "master slide" feature in PowerPoint. It made keeping a consistent look throughout the whole PowerPoint a lot easier rather than if I just didn't create a master slide. I learned how to insert voice overs in my PowerPoint and make them run like videos. It was a lot easier than

This chapter focused on adaptive learning technologies, these are technologies that are allow teachers to teach students who may have special needs and in order to learn the technology helps adapt the lesson to their specific needs or learning style. This helps the teacher customize their lesson and objectives and can adapt better as the student progresses though the course. There are many technologies out there whether your student is a visual, kinesthetic, auditory type of learner, or any other type of learner. These technologies include Diigo, alternative keyboards, scan/read systems, and concept-mapping software, just to name a few. The problem I see with using adaptive learning technologies is now that students are being catered in the way they teach, they may not be on the same pace now and that could raise some difficulties for teachers. Another thing would be keeping students from getting too distracted from these technologies. For each level of Bloom's taxonomy I'd us

The PLN Twitter assignment has been interesting so far. I like seeing what other education technology account post as well as seeing what my peers post. So far what I've learned from using twitter is that using a social network to gather information may not be a first choice for most people. Usually going on twitter to post for EME 2040 is something I forget or something I wouldn't do naturally, it probably isn't how professionals use it in the real world. I absolutely loved the web page assignment. I learned that creating a web page takes patience and creativity. While creating the website I tried to put myself in the place of a student or parent going through this website. I asked myself what information would they want to see. I liked the design aspect of the assignment and the creativity however I found myself frustrated at times trying to work with the website, sometimes the response time would be slow and frustrating. Here's the link to my site. http://tpc15b.wee

The website I chose to look at was my old high school's website. On the website you can access School Year Academic Calendars, school news. class info, and summer assignment links. This page is a general one for both students and teachers, as well as anyone, who fro some reason, wants to look at the homepage. For any student trying to look at their individual classes and grades, they need to login to edline. The link to the website is http://www.edline.net/pages/A_W_Dreyfoos_school_of_Arts As someone who wants to teach high school students I can really see myself using the portfolio assessment software, especially for grades. But it can also help keep track of all the students work and their progress, as well as serve as a convenient format for easy management. When I went to the sandbox I was immediately drawn to the virtual reality set. VR is very useful in th classroom especially for visual learners. Yea  can see objects in 3 dimensions and use VR for other geometric studies.
