A flipped classroom is when students learn outside of the class or their "homework", and then when they get to class they do activities that normal classrooms. This way the teacher can be present to help students with activities and any misunderstandings about the lesson. Sometimes students do not really like this because it can be hard for individuals to teach themselves and try to learn a whole lesson to be able to do activities in class.
Open educational resources are resources that anyone can use. These resources are usually online. The word "open" means that the resource grants permission for free, can be edited, and usually can be shared. These resources can be easily be found and used. The article I found explained what open educational resources are and what their benefits are for students and teachers. Some of the benefits include reasons like improving student success while saving them money or increase academic freedom for faculty.

The two powerpoint assignments helped me learn more about some of the features within powerpoint. The main one I learned about is how you can record over your powerpoint while giving the presentation. This is very cool and I feel like I have not seen teachers use this. Usually, my professors use other programs that would record their voice over their computer screen while recording. I think I liked the interaction powerpoint a lot because it was interesting to see what you can do to make only the powerpoint presentation navigate the whole thing. For my interaction assignment, I made a jeopardy game that was fun to make and I think I made it all very interactive.

My name is Nicole. I am a sophomore here at Florida State University majoring in Business Management with a minor in Education. I am from Miami, FL. I enjoy watching and playing sports. My prior experience using educational technology is mostly with a lot of Microsoft applications such as word, excel, and power point. I would say i am very proficient with all three of these applications. I have also been using canvas here at the university with all of my classes. I have also used some game sites for class such as second life which has an interactive world with lessons based on whatever subject. In this class I hope to learn about the different educational technologies that teachers have and can use.I believe I am familiar with only a few that are to there and hope to learn about more. I feel as if these resources can be very helpful to the teachers and students within a classroom.

ILP 1 Participation: Educational Technology for Student Success

The activity I did for this project was an activity on Lynda.com. This activity was all about educational technology and how teachers can use them on a daily basis in their own classroom. It was very easy to use Lynda.com and navigate through the activity. It was interesting to see all the different educational technology examples that were named throughout the activity because there were a couple that I did not know about. In my voice thread I included some of the key points I got out of the activity as well as proof of completion with a document of my notes I took during the activity.

Word is a very common application used as a student now in time. I have used word for quite some time with writing assignments or something else. For the most part I think I have used word for almost every single class since high school. Word is very easy and helpful when trying to format a document or type something up. I feel as if teachers also use word as much as students do. Now in college teacher post many documents such as notes and study guides. From what I can remember I think we learned about copyright and plagiarism when we were younger and how it is bad. I think now that technology and the world wide web is so easy to access it is important for students to know what they can and can do with the information they find from websites. As a teacher I think its important that at a certain age, especially if the students need to access sources from the web, that the students know what copyright is and how to properly cite information they use from its original source. The best w...
