Teachers can use data collection tools to poll classes for feedback. Teachers can also use data collection tools to ask a class for their overall opinions and thoughts. This is important because the better you understand your students the better you can cater to their needs and overall teach instruction to them in a way they understand. For example, if I wanted to see what my 5th grade students knew about math before I began to teach I could create a survey on Qualtrics for my students. Then i could form an excel sheet with the data. This would help me understand what content would be appropriate to teach in the math field.
Other classmates have been posting a lot of interesting stuff about technology and the many uses of it in the classroom. My favorite posts are usually the ones that mention the teacher websites we made. I really enjoyed this assignment so it was neat to look at my classmates ideas, deigns, and content. I also enjoyed looking at people's posts on open source media use because there were many different helpful links to open sources that I could use in the future. These will be helpful as a teacher because it is important that we set a good example by following all copyright laws and adhering to ethical guidelines.
Next I would like to work on learning how to use excel! I want to learn more about excel because it is a useful tool for budgeting and calculating/interpreting feedback. This would be useful in everyday life as well as in my future career as a teacher. I can do this by complete the project we have do next week that uses a survey tool and excel. Hopefully after I do this project I will be more comfortable using excel and as a result do well on the upcoming skill check.

The flipped classroom is when you do your homework in class and you learn the lesson through videos outside of class on your own time. I personally have taken a flipped class before and I hated it. I really do not like to teach myself and I find it hard to keep up with the videos. That being said, some kids do thrive in the flipped classroom setting. It just depends on how you learn. Some people need more help in the learning process and others in the application process. https://www.edutopia.org/videos has educational videos you could check out to get an idea of flipped learning and classrooms.
The open education movement from MIT makes the open courses available for everyone to learn.
Open content specifies what people can and can't do with what they find online. This is sort of like copyright. Teachers can save a lot of time by adapting and editing online open materials shared through websites. Open source software is usually free and can be downloaded online. Open office is an example and here is a link to that. http://www.searchr.net/Open%20Office?l=us-en
The PowerPoint project helped me learn how to navigate the PowerPoint software better. I had done animations before but not in a long time so it was a good refresher. I liked setting up the lesson and coming up with activities for the kids the best. I tried to incorporate lots of discussion questions and group collaboration to facilitate learning. I also tried to incorporate many different learning styles to cater to as many students as possible.
