Flipped Classrooms

This week I learned a lot about flipped classrooms. I also got to use some new tools to make an animated video. I won't on on about all of the details about flipped classrooms because I hope you will watch my video which I have added below.

I will take a moment to say that I think it is important to embrace new technology and know what tools work best for what you are doing (in and out of the classroom). As I was undertaking the task of making this animated video, I tried out several different programs before making the decision to make it with powtoon. There are better programs out there for sure, and of course there are easier programs. I had to make some decisions about what would work best for me and help me achieve the end result I wanted. I feel like this is a great lesson about technology. We all too often look for the first, the most extravagant, or the easiest option. This is just a reminder to "work smarter".
