Instead of having students sit in the traditional classroom, listening to a teacher and watching as they present the lesson in a face-to-face interaction, a flipped classroom allows students to get the same information through a blended delivery system (Lever- Duffy 237). Teachers can give students prerecorded power point videos with voice recordings to explain specific topics that may be difficult in detail again. Students could also watch a preview lecture to introduce the topics they will work on in class before hand. This can all lead to a more efficient classroom.
Web Based Resources
The web based recourse I decided to use was was pinterest. I use pinterest all the time! I have used it multiple times for this class. Its an easy way for teachers to share lesson plans and effective cute projects to do with students. It doesn't matter if you search "math money games" or 2nd grade cpalms, pinterest gives teachers an endless supply of ideas to use in the classroom.
PowerPoint Interaction Project
I learned that it is OK to go online for help in this project. I always avoid using templates, but to work efficiently , having a template for games like this can be very helpful. I was a little stressed out when I first started the project because I was thinking I had to figure out how to do all of this on my own, however I realized that I could use the resources on line to create the game and make it way better than I would have been able to do on my own. I am definitely going to use game templates and make them into personalized games for my class in the future. There are so many cool ones to choose from. There are so many options to choose from on line while I was looking for templates. The possibilities are endless. Next time I will try to improve my game with more graphics and sound effects. I think sound effects will make it more fun!
Before this assignment, I also was unsure about using online help like templates for classroom stuff. Whenever I played Jeopardy games in the classroom as a student, I guess I always kind of assumed that the teachers made the games themselves. I'm glad to know now that there's tons of resources on the internet for really cool games to play with students and that it's not cheating or a cop-out to use them haha
ReplyDeleteKelty, I also did a Jeopardy game for my project. Using a template made this so much easier, I did not know that there were so many free game templates available. I also found that some of the template websites included video tutorials on how to make the games work. Here's one of those sites: http://people.uncw.edu/ertzbergerj/ppt_games.html
