Flipped Classroom 3.0

I am not sure what else I can say about the flipped classroom that I haven't said in my previous blogs about it. I think its a good idea for the modern classroom, with teachers and educators always trying and adapting new ideas, this one can be the next big thing. This allows teachers and students to be more equals rather than the teacher being in charge and the students follow. It also allows students to get their work done in class with the teacher, as opposed to them doing it at home without any guidence. In a flipped classroom the students use their knowledge and thoughts to solve problems, while in a traditional classroom they are told what to do and work off of the teachers curriculum. 

Does a reference page actually help?

The blog topic is an interesting question; Does a reference page actually help the reader? There are two ways to look at this, first as a reader, and also as a writer. When reading an essay, paper, or anything else that might need a reference, you want to be able to tell what is written by the author, and what is written by an outside source. As a writer it is important to know how and when to reference a separate source. When writing a essay or paper bringing in another persons views can make your point come across easier and more scholarly. That is how making a reference page can help with your paper.

Flipped Classes

Having a flipped classroom can be both beneficial and dentramental to the student and the teacher. In a normal classroom the teacher lectures the students about the topic he or she presents. After which the class does the assigned work and everyone goes about their day. In a flipped classroom, the teacher is more of a mediator. The class is more of a brainstorm among the students and the teacher. After the topic is demonstrated by the teacher, they become a bystander while the class speaks their mind and ideas on set topic. The flipped classroom can be a valuable tool to help students explore their thoughts, while allowing the teacher to take a more laid back role in the class.

What I learned in Doc1

There are many things that ive learned while doing our doc 1 assignment. First off I learned how to use the google drive and write an assignment as a group, at the same time. Google drive is a very affective tool to use as a group,because it allows us to work on the same project at the same time, while in different locations. I also learned how to grade other peoples project's using the APA rubric. This is a valuable asset in this project and for others. It is important, because it shows me how to make my assignments better even when im grading someone else's.

Flipped Classroom

The flipped classroom technique is a relatively new way teachers interact with their classes. A traditional classroom runs by the teacher I front of the class lecturing his or her students. Flipped classroom technique puts the teacher in a more relaxed role. Instead of the teacher being the head of the class, they are more of a peer and mentor, and let the flow of the class come from the students. I like that idea,because it lets the students explore each other's minds and opinions, while the teacher acts as a mediator, and can pitch in their own thoughts as a person and not so much a teacher.

Group Writing

Whenever you are doing a group project in school there are some things that work and some that don't. First off making sure that the whole group understands  the goal  and the steps to get there is definitely important. Having a group were everyone gets along can help with the continuity of the group, and often can effect the outcome of the grade. When and if there is any type of tension between group members, there is a chance it can affect the groups we'll being. Dividing up the assignment and making sure that everyone understands there role is an easy way to make a group work, and get a good grade.

What Ive learned from priject

I dont really know what to say about this topic, because we havent gotten so far on our project. So far ive learned that the title section has to be done in all caps, and that the references page needs to be indented. Also I learned how to grade other people's assignments following the rubric that was provided. Not a lot to write about, but thats what ive learned so far.

Online Image

Everyone that is online has their own online identity. What we put or post online and what people see is how our identity is formed. Now of days everyone can see what you post even if you are not friends with them. Because of this you must be extra careful with what you post. Employers, parents, and even schools can see your postings and it can affect your job and school status and even your personal realationships. 

How I write to Learn

There are many ways that I write to learn. First off I find that writing is a very effective way to learn any subject that you are having problems with. When studying a subject that I am having problems with, I like to use notecards to help remember a topic. After writing them I usually have a better understanding of what i've read, and after countless repetition of the same cards it becomes a lot easier to remember. Other ways that writing helps us learn is in the form of papers and essays. As much as I dont like them they help a lot with learning a subject. With papers you are forced to go in depth and broaden my knowledge of a topic therefore it helps learning when you understand every part about it. Those are some ways that writing helps me learn a new of difficult topic.

Doc1 Blog

I think that our topic for our assignment is a very important one. Now of days with everyone being so technologically driven, people have little to no regard of what the post on the internet. People across the world post comments,pictures, videos ,and status updates on their twitter,Facebook, Instagram,and snapchats that anyone can see and share with whoever they want. Not only are they taking a social risk,but in a lot of cases a security risk. People post their vacation plans and when they go out of town,and they leave themselves and their homes open to being robbed and burgaralized. Along with that once something is online the world can see it, including your employer or school. This is why it is important to censor and be careful what you put online, because you don't want past photos or comments to put your job or career in jeopardy.

Writing to Learn

Along with reading, writing can be a valuable and productive way to learn. I personally believe that writing things down and visualizing it when you study can be just as beneficial as when you read it just once.Flash cards and detailed notes are other examples of tools that show how writing things down can help you learn and understand things better. Repeating and writing the same subject can help someone learn something,because you see it when your writing and when you study it.
