        A  flipped classroom is when students learn firsthand all the materials outside of  the classroom. Most of the time, this is done by a teacher recording a lecture, having their students learn the material on their own. After the students have been sent home with the lecture, they come to class to analyze the material by completing work and discussing what they learned. This gives students a sense of independence and responsibility. This way, they are and should be well prepared for their upcoming class. https://cft.vanderbilt.edu/guides-sub-pages/flipping-the-classroom/         Open education, open content, and open source are all connected in assuring equal educational access for everyone.

        Adaptive technologies are equipped to fit the needs of students with disabilities. Not only are they designed for physical disabilities, but learning disabilities as well. For example, a student with a physical disability may not be able to see a screen due to impaired vision. A student with a learning disability may not perform well in a particular subject compared to others. In this case, special technology tools are made to adapt to the students' learning experience.I have not seen anyone or heard of anyone personally who uses this but I appreciate the fact that all students have an equal opportunity of learning.                  When trying to incorporate Bloom's Taxonomy in a lesson, I can use PowerPoint to support student learning. PowerPoint is a great way to get creative with my students while also allowing them to think critically. I can use things that I know would be familiar to my students by recallin...

        Before taking this EME course, I have never thought about using twitter. I always thought that it was just another pointless social media cite. Luckily, using twitter in this class has allowed me to bridge the gap in my networking as well as academic skills. I have been able to connect with people who have similar interests as me. These people range from large groups within different school distracts to my fellow peers. I have become more aware of the business side of education too. Twitter has been a great tool as far as my awareness in the educational field.         Completing a web page was something out of my comfort zone. I got to become more familiar with the weebly website and different tools in creating my very own page. What stood out to me the most and a tool that I will use in the future is importing a google calendar into a website. This way, I can plan out all of my future students' assignments ahead of time. They will be ab...

http://www.lymeschool.org/gradeKmath2.html In searching for class pages, I came across an elementary school called Lyme School in New Hampshire. I was able to locate the school address, online resources for the students, and even a Newsletter from the principal. you could also see the school hours and staff on the home page. I was also able to see that they were assigned homework, but I could not see what type of homework it was. Being that I am not a student there nor a parent, I could not see the  activities they had posted for different grade levels. for example, I clicked on Mrs. Wilcox 1st grade class to see the types of activities she had planned. However, I was unable to view it fully. It is a k-5 grade school and each grade level did include class pages.                 According to the podcast, there are many ways to use technology affectively to accomplish my professional ...
