I was not in class for the lesson over Wikis. I had to cheer at a basketball game at the same time as the basketball game.

Wikis is like a web post that people can edit as the days go on. Wikis could be used in the classroom if I were to post a question and have the students answer. Students may also add pictures and videos. As a teacher I could add videos to add for the students to watch.

3. How could it be used in the classroom?  Give a classroom example.
   1.In one of my classes this semester. Our professor tweets a question and uses a hashtag. We have to respond to his tweet and use the same hashtag so he can find our answer.
   2. You could post a question and have students comment their answers. I have a friend who used Facebook to help her write a debate paper. She posted what the debate was about and her friends commented their thoughts and ideas.
   3. A teacher could use it in the classroom to inform parents what is happening in the class. I have a friend who is a teacher and she had to create a blog for the parents of her students.

Flipped Classroom -PSA Oct. 12

Good Evening Students,

Tonight we will be doing something different. Tonight you will be learning on your own and tomorrow in the class we will have several activities to do with what you are about to learn.

We are moving on to a new chapter having to do with Number Lines. Please click on the link and follow all directions. This is going to be new to everyone so please take your time and make sure you completely understand what is happening. I can also ask any questions that you post in the comments. Look through the powerpoint, watch the video, and do the assignment that goes along with it.

I will see you all in class tomorrow so be ready!

-Ms. Lancin



Next morning:
I will be evaluating what they know by using an activity called "Example, Non- Example" that was found on k20center.ou.edu
I will have them take out a piece of notebook paper and ask them to give me an example of a certain number on a number line and then ask them to give me a non- example of a different number. I would so this about 3-4 times before having them turn in the paper. That is when I would take the time and have the students ask any questions they may have.

At the end of the week I would provide a short quiz. This quiz would consist of placing numbers on a number line and identifying numbers on a number line.

Flipped classroom, PSA, visual learning tools, Pinterest

The chapter was over visual learning tools. Personally I am a visual learner. I like to see examples while the directions are being given that way I can imagine it. We also began talking about flipped classrooms and how it can be helpful. We talked about a project we were going to be doing along with the expectations of the project. We were to create some type of presentation. This could be by videoing yourself, prezi.com or powtoon.com. I choose powtoon because it was very creative and looked fun. It was defiantly a new challenge because I had never made a slideshow/video like they have.
Within a reading we did an activity and had to type the names of websites we have heard of and from there we copied and pasted them into website such as worditout.com. This is what I created out of those words.

We then got to log onto pinterest.com and create a board for Flipped Classrooms. We were to find things that we found interesting and pin them to our board. Once we did that we shared with the class what we found. Later that night I actually had someone follow my board that we had made.
