ILP # 2

For my second ILP, I decided to take a MOOC. To try and learn something new, I picked a science course that happen to be from the University of Michigan and was about Gastrointestinal, Reproductive, and Endocrine Anatomy. The class consisted of a couple videos that gave information about the particular subject, the first being Gastrointestinal and then proceeded to give a quiz on that information. While I like to think that I was informed on the subject at hand, having been given more in-depth information, clarified that I was not as knowledgeable as I presumed about the subjects. The video for the GI review gives a diagram to give a visual of how it works and interacts with the diagram in order to give information about the subject. Furthermore, after each video there are short quizzes like the one below to ensure that the information was retained and understood. Ultimately, I think the way that they line up the videos with a short review after helps the individual retain important information that is discussed within the course.

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. https://www.knewton.com/...

Technology has played an important role in my academic setting as well as my life in general. Although technology was not a big part of my life growing up as a kid, I have become very equipped in utilizing it. Through many of my classes, I have had web based classes that require the complete use of a computer in order to fulfill the requirements in class. Furthermore, in several of my more recent classes the use of technology and applications based around it have been used for projects done in these classes. I have created several websites for classes both an e-portfolio for myself as well as one for my internship, and several intricate projects that were based around the use of technology. I use technology on a regular basis for work purposes as well as everyday activities like entertainment, physical activity, health, and navigation. Therefore, I have had much prior experience with technology. I hope that in this class I will learn a better to way to utilize technology in a teachin...
