The Flipped Classroom is a very innovational way of learning. Many issues add up causing it to be difficult for students to make it to class. Transportation, illnesses, and others reasons make it difficult sometimes for people to make it to class. However, this can really make a negative impact on a students learning. The flipped classroom provides a way for students to learn the lessons and listen to the lecture online. This is a different instructional approach  rather than the traditional in class lecture. Technology tools help make flipping the classroom easier.  This can been done through live streams, youtube videos, websites, blogs, and more.

While doing power points I learned some things. I have used power point many times in the past and I am already very on point with it. But through these assignments I did learn some little pointers that will benefit me. For example, I learned how to turn off the motions to make the power point move forward and backwards to the next slide. When I am teaching however, I do not feel the need to do that. I feel as if it is easier to just move the slide show with those controls turned on and not use the action buttons. I do like the animation tools because I feel as if they add flair and make the presentation more exciting and easier on the way.








Open classrooms make everything easier for students and educators. There are many resources that can help benefit the classroom learning. By making things open it means that anyone is at use to it. This can help because people all need the same knowledge. Therefore, it would not make sense for everyone to have to find the same information. It is key way to gain knowledge and support in a more timely fashion. An example is a Diigo. You can publish articles and links to other students or educators so that they all may be at use to is.

Adaptive Technology for Diverse Learners

Through my individual efforts, I learned there are many different forms of diverse students. Some students can have trouble hearing and others can have trouble seeing. Before this I thought there was only one or two forms of diversity. It was very interesting to discover the other ways. But with the way technology has enhanced there are very many ways to adapt and work around. With this assignment, I also learned about tools such as keyboards for blind that can help. As a future educator, it is important to be up to date on all types of diverse learners so this was important information to grasp. By creating the presentation with my group I learn not only how to summarize a small amount of information and place in a quick power point but also about the tools for reading for diverse learners. There are tools that will read information to you and help you comprehend. Also tools that will highlight sentences as you are reading them. Tools such as that are important because they can help...

On of the most recent tools that I have been loving using in EME 2040 is Twitter! I have been using twitter my whole life but now I am using it in a totally different way. I know all the backbones and ways as to how to use just from using it everyday and adapting to the ways of twitter. It is a great source that lets you get out information. There is even a tool that students can turn on that will notify them every time a specific person tweets. It would be good for them to do that for their teacher in case they had any last minute announcements. I have been interacting with a lot of my classmates and also educational leaders in the this world. I hope to use this in my future to easily communicate with future students. However, depending on kids maturity, it could be a bad tool to use. The students would have access to direct messaging and tweet freely anything they would like for you and your other students to see. Obviously you can hope this does not happen but sometimes teaching hig...
