The Flipped classroom refers to when students watch videos and video lectures at home before class and then during class time they work on assignments, projects and also have discussions. Chapter 10 discusses some ways to do this by discussion forums, chat programs, wikis, blogs, podcasts.These are some good resources to keep kids involved while at home so they can have the "Flipped classroom" while they're at home and also in school.I dont think it would be very effective though because odds are students are not going to actually watch the videos at home because when they go home that is supposed to be their time to relax and be home from school.

That is a website you can go to for teacher professional development. It helps teachers grow professionally through summer workshops, seminars, teaching teachers new projects and they also have full year professional development. I think this is a super awesome website with many different ways for teachers to grow professionally. It allows tons of opportunity for teachers!

I learned a lot of new skills through the Powerpoint interaction assignment. Such as how to make a jeopardy game which was very fun and also kind of tricky to learn. What I really enjoy about it is how fun is it for kids to learn from. I remember being a elementary student myself, I always enjoyed the jeopardy competition when you divide up the classroom. I would actually learn all while having a super fun time! I will definitely be using all the things I learned in this assignment in the future, such as how to make jeopardy games and I will be using those all the time when I am a future teacher.
