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.

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 I thought it would be. The second PowerPoint assignment made me see PowerPoint in a whole new way, as an interactive tool. It shows me that teacher can do a lot with even basic programs. Next time I could make my slides more colorful.
