Open Educational Resources

In the  this youtube video about OERs it definitely gave me more insight of what open educational resources were. In the video it explains that open educational resources are resources that use the internet to share and spread educational content such as a textbook library  or a high school tutor for a class. These open educational resources  also allow students to learn their professional skills at their own pace. In addition in the article of 7 things you should know about open educational resources, the part that caught my attention the most was the implications for teaching and learning using open educational resources, one example of this is that all contents of education will be available online for free in the near future.  I will definitely be expanding and implementing open educational resources into my future classroom, while exploring on this topic I realized that books on audio such as from learningally.org  could be one form of OERs, which are especially helpful for students with disabilities. From learningally, in my future classroom i can show the children's parents how to get books on audio when teaching to students with learning disabilities. I know from my experience using these types of OERs have helped improve my learning. 

Flipped Learning

In this video of Flipped Learning it explains that flipped learning, is learning in which the Individual students watch the teachers podcasts and can learn on their pace. This also lets the student pause, rewind, fast forward, and play the teachers lessons anytime they need to. The article of The Truth about Flipped Learing is pretty insightful for possible drawbacks of flipped learning. One example of a drawback of flipped learning is that videos should not be assigned as homework. The possible outcomes of this type of learning can cause more student interactions as well as change the way teachers talk with parents about how the child is behaving and learning in the classroom. The article How The Flipped Classroom is Radically Transforming states that children who learning slowly such as ones who have learning disabilities can learn better in a flipped learning classroom because interventions can be implemented to the students needs. Another great article is called Flipped Learning Sure Sounds a lot Like Special Education  which states about ways flipped learning is used such as high engagement.  The greater implications on teaching and learning and my specific teaching future is that, I will be using this method for some of my teaching, because it seems to be pretty effective.
