The flipped classroom is an extreme model of the blended
classroom. Rather than students coming to class and being lectured, they
receive their lecture on the computer from the comfort of home. They then come
to class where they may split up into groups and further explore the material
in depth. The question everyone must wonder is, if computers and technology are
forcing teachers to step to the side and answer questions when required, how
much longer will teachers be needed until computers are able to do their job
for them? This may seem like a something straight out of a science fiction
novel and that it is just that, fiction, but with the start of develop on
artificial intelligence and the constant state of fluidity of the economy, how
much longer until teachers are out of the job? Here is a link to a source of

The four
R’s of open content are revise, reuse, remix, and redistribute. Some teachers
will share the content they made so that other teachers can access them. This
is open content. Open source software is not always free but for the most part
is, and this software can be modified by users. According to OpenSource.com,
this software “is software with source code that anyone can inspect, modify,
and enhance.”
I learned
how to create a non-linear PowerPoint during the Information Dissemination
assignment. It was fun to be able to create a new set up for PowerPoint, and
the possibilities for the games that can be created are many. I don’t like how
the buttons look as they seem somewhat tacky, and it would be nice if Microsoft
could create more options for the buttons. I really like the template I used as
I feel like it went well with the theme. I’m hoping that I can use it in my
future career to promote books in a fun way.
