The flipped classroom is an innovative blended delivery model and is educational video casts that was first introduced to have lectures available for absent students and to change the way students and teachers spend class time. Rather than use the classroom time to lecture students on the material and then practicing the information in their homework, it is "flipped" and students listen to prerecorded lectures for homework before class. That way when they are in the classroom they are able to actively engage in the learning process of the material learned and can work on activities either individually or in a group with the assistance of their teacher. This way the teacher is able to assist the students with a deeper meaning and understanding on the content and the teacher becomes a guide in the learning process. There are many variations of this technique that are coming to light and a variety of technologies to fulfill this new method of teaching.

When it comes to open education, it allows for outside individuals that do not attend the university to have access to the courses that are being taught. While they are free to learn the information, they do not interact with the instructors or have the same experience that the students attending the college do. People who are for this believe that everyone in the world should have access to high-quality educational experiences and resources and work to eliminate these the barriers that inhibit these goals. These tools, resources, and practices are free of legal, financial, and technical obligations and can be shared throughout the internet. These resources maximize the internet and make education more accessible and effective for all. Creative Commons is a great resource of open educational resources/ open content and the MOOC website we use for our ILPs is another resource that also is an open educational resource. The Lynda tutorials can also be considered this as well even though we log in through our school but regardless it allows for us to use these resources that are available. Open content refers to any copyrightable work that is licensed to allow users with free permission to engage in the 5Rs that were mentioned. Despite the free use for the 5Rs there are still requirements and restrictions that are placed on these open licenses that make them less open. Wikipedia is an example of this open content but requires all works to adopt a specific license as well as the same with MIT OpenCourseWare. While these license's restrictions optimize their local goals, the actually harm the larger open content community. Lastly, open source software is software with a source code that anyone can inspect, modify, and enhance. The source code is something that can be manipulated to change how a software works and when there is open source software this code is available to others as opposed to just being limited to those who created the software. It allows for others to view the code, copy it, learn from it, alter it, and share it. LibreOffice and GNU Image Manipulation Program are examples of this type of open source software. The user must accept the terms of the license to use this software, however the legal terms are far different from proprietary licenses. These open source licenses allow the user to use the software for any purpose they may desire.

When it came to the PowerPoint assignments, I had worked with PowerPoint enough to know how to do most things within the application. However, creating the jeopardy game with the use of PowerPoint was all very new to me. I had to find out how I was going to make the answers not appear as soon as the question on the slide and had to learn to animate it to float in only at the click of the question. Furthermore, linking everything to in the slide to another slide within the PowerPoint was also something that I had never done before as well. I also never hyperlinked or add online photos into PowerPoint before so those were both new aspects I learned as well. While I feel pretty comfortable with PowerPoint and the knowledge that I have of the application, these two assignments were able to introduce me to different methods to use PowerPoint for as well as different aspects that I had never used before in PowerPoint. I genuinely enjoyed both assignments it was just difficult to find the subjects I wanted to write on as well as the information to make it work. However, once I found what I wanted to do it all came together well and I think they turned out great. The only thing I wasn't as happy about was that I couldn't think of any funny pun titles for my jeopardy game.
