The "Flipped Classroom" is an idea that the typical lecture and homework assignments are reversed in the classroom. This means, at home students watch video lectures and write down notes or information that is important during the videos. But in the classroom, students time is devoted to assignments, discussions, and projects based off the material learned. Students can learn the curriculum at their own pace and rewatch any information they didn't understand the first time. It's also more effective for students to communicate and discuss what they've learned at home in the classroom so they can express their ideas and share questions. It helps when students are doing activities in the classroom, and the teachers can be there to help if needed. 

Open education is all about making education experiences available to a wide audience. This makes everyone have access to educational experiences while working to eliminate barriers such as money.  It opens experience to people who may have not been accessible to educational experiences. Open content is the ability that others can copy and change work from previous creative resources. Open source are materials that can be changed because the creators have given permission for individuals to have their material. As long as they meet the criteria, people can use their information to create their own material. I used this cite here to learn about "open" terms.

I've worked with PowerPoint many times before but I did learn some things through the PowerPoint assignments. I learned how to use the "action" buttons to create an animation on the slide. I also learned under "slide show" and "set up slide show" if you click, "browsed at kiosk" this takes away the ability to click to advance to the next slide. I also have never hyperlinked to the next or previous slide which I found very useful in my assignments. I loved creating both Powerpoint assignments  because I feel like I've learned a lot about the tool and I will be using these techniques in the classroom as a teacher. I think for next time, I could improve on making the voice over and to include details about the slides.
