A flipped classroom is a strategy of blended learning that does not use the traditional person to person approach to learning. In a flipped classroom, instructional material and learning is delivered online, outside of the classroom. I was introduced to flipped classrooms in high school when Broward County schools required high school students to take an online class to graduate. For me, the experience was definitely a new one as I was not used to doing work on a computer, being more of a hands on person. I believe that a flipped classroom may no be ideal for all types of learning, but comes with many advantages, like online distance learning. Some online courses, unlike the one I took with Broward County, are open educational resources.

ILP "Participation - Teacher Interview"

For this voice thread , I decided to not go on lnyda.com or MOOC because instead of testing something out for myself, I wanted to see what the professionals were actually doing. For such reason, I decided to interview a 1st grade teacher on her use of technology in the classroom.

Day 1 w/ Maggie Mae

Hello I am Maggie Mae. I am a fourth year student at The Florida State University, majoring in Family & Child Sciences with a minor in education. With my studies I hope to work with children and help them develop into the model citizens, who are able to succeed regardless of their background or what they come from. I currently work with the Boys & Girls Club as Assistant Site Coordinator to help mold students into their best selves.

I believe I grew up during a great period because I got to experience a wide variety of technology in school. From big white mac books, overhead projectors, to laptop carts and now tablets I feel like I have seen it all. I now use technology in my place of work educating my students by getting l...
