The Flipped Classroom is similar to open education in the fact that students are watching videos outside of the classroom, but what sets flipped classroom apart is that it is used as homework, and when the students come back the next day, they are expected to have lessons and activities on the video. The teacher becomes less of the main educator, and is used as more of a guide, as said in the textbook.

Open education was one of the "open" terms mentioned in the podcast and it is when a professor from one college or university can record their lecture and it be viewed to students in a completely other state. They do not need to be enrolled at that university to access the videos, and that can come with a few drawbacks. These include a potential lack of administrative oversight and quality assurance systems for educators/materials in some programs, infrastructure limitations in developing countries, a lack of equal access to technologies required for students' full participation in online education initiatives. MOOC is one example of open education.

In the past two PowerPoint assignments, I have learned 1. how to use slide master and create my own layout, and 2. I learned how to lock the screen so when in presentation mode, I will only be able to continue the presentation by clicking a button. I had a hard time  adding in animations and getting them to work during A5 and I definitely need to spend some more time on that. In A6, I did not like it initially because I feel like it's the same assignment, only longer and I felt that to be unnecessary. Here is a screen shot of what I did in A5, and what I've started in A6.
