A flipped classroom is when students teach themselves lessons at home by themselves and in the classroom they do activities. This is the reverse of a normal classroom where in the classroom the students learn the lecture with each other and at home by themselves they do their homework activities. Many students have differing opinions about having a flipped classroom. Some students argue that flipped classrooms are helpful and others argue that they hate these types of classes. This link is a Youtube video that explains what a flipped classroom is in depth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCIxikOq73Q

The podcast talks about three main "open" terms. These terms are: open education, open content, and open source. Open education can be defined as the way all people can view or share experiences and knowledge. Open content can be defined as software that people can use freely. Open source can be defined as software that can be modified and then redistributed. Open learning experiences allow for students to learn specific content without physically being enrolled in that school and interacting with the staff. The website provided below gives more information about open source. https://opensource.com/resources/what-open-source

PowerPoint is a very useful tool that has many functions to it. Many people are unaware of the abilities PowerPoint is capable of doing. By working on these assignments in PowerPoint, I have gained a lot of new and useful knowledge. I really like using Powerpoint and learning about the different things located inside PowerPoint. My new favorite action is a non-linear PowerPoint. I think it's really cool that PowerPoints are capable of jumping around from slide to slide by clicking on certain things. I made a Jeopardy game for one of my assignments and I'm really excited to show it to people!
