A flipped classroom is one where the standard educational environment is reversed. The lesson is watched by the students at home, and the class time is spent doing the homework. This strategy gives students more time to spend asking questions and working through problems with the teacher. More activities can take place during the class time, which can be beneficial for the students learning progress.
Open educational resources can be used freely by anyone. They're often used when it comes to teaching and research. When it comes to education, people can access OER and find ways to implement them in their classroom. I found an article that talks about why OER are important and the effect they have on education, specifically in a university setting. http://www.irrodl.org/index.php/irrodl/article/view/469
From working on the powerpoint, I learned how to use skills such as creating transitions, animations, and actions. I liked getting to apply each skill I learned, and be creative with the assignment. Some parts were more complex to figure out, but the more I did it the easier it got. Something I want to improve on is getting the animations to work for the pictures when the automatic slide progression is taken off.
