As a group we decided we wanted to do a flipped presentation of two different apps. One that focuses on creating flipped lessons using Educreations and the other, Quizlet, is a method for students to study those lessons using online flashcards. We wanted to create a flipped PD where educators could come up with lessons for their students and also provide a way for them to study it.
Educreations is a great application that educators could have their students use and make their own lessons for their classmates, and in the process become "masters" of their lesson. We felt that this application would be a nice benefit to a classroom for the hands on approach. Then, it could also serve as a way for the teacher to progress lessons when they have an upcoming absence. Also, if students create a quality lesson, the teacher could hang onto the lesson for future use.
My focus of this project was working with Quizlet. I included mini-quizzes where I could get feedback from a user as to whether or not they were able to use and create different parts of the app. The nice thing about Quizlet is that they allow students to study in multiple locations. The app works on Apple products and also with different browsers. I like the app because teachers can make the card sets for the students, or, students can make their own sets. Also, there are multiple different ways for students to study; listening, reading, or matching. In combination these two apps could be extremely helpful in today's classroom. If there are any questions, comments, or concerns feel free to leave me a message on here.
