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.
