EME 2040 Blog

I chose to use Garageband to record my voice and intend to post it online (if I were an actual teacher today) for my students. This is primarily for anyone who missed class or needs a refresher on the topics discussed in class today. (Please see email!!)

1. As a teacher, I will use surveys on Excel to get feedback on my performance as a teacher. I will also use it to get to know my students better and see how they feel about certain things. I will most likely be teaching English in high school. I want my students to be able to tell me how they are feeling about things in class in an anonymous way. Surveys will be perfect for that. 2. I found YouTube to be an interesting topic on most people's blogs throughout the semester. No matter what the subject was, Youtube was always referenced back to. YouTube is a great source for finding instructional videos in the classroom. Facebook was also referenced to which I thought was interesting. I never thought about Facebook as a tool for the classroom. 3. I would like to learn about prezi next. Prezi is very cool and looks great creatively, but I do not know how to navigate it.

1. A "Flipped classroom" is a classroom where most of the work or prep work for the class is done outside of the classroom, usually before class. Then they do homework or ask questions on what they prepped for when they get to class. The lessons are given outside of the classroom. This would make it easier for kids who miss class to still be able to learn. I think that "Flipped Classrooms" are an excellent idea to maximize time in the classroom and not waste any resources. https://www.knewton.com/infographics/flipped-classroom/ 2. Open Education is something that is usually offered online. It is great for parents or people that don't have a lot of time on their hands to spend going to classes. Open content reminds me off when we use the Creative Commons in our projects. We don't need permission to use it. Open source is software that we use thats free. Khan Academy is an example of this.  https://opensource.com/education/13/4/guide-open-source-education ...
