#1: "The Flipped Classroom" is a delivery model that does educational video casts. The idea is to actually flip the way students and teachers actually spend classroom time. This would be how a student would watch to a prerecorded lecture for homework whether they were absent for real class time or if they want more information before going to class. This delivery model has expanded a lot since it first was started, and now a diverse group of teachers use this kind of tool. This world is changing into an all technology kind of world, and this is one of the technology tools in education that is helping teachers and students change with it.
http://www.watchknowlearn.org/ is an example of a free website that students can go to and learn more information about different subjects and lessons.
#2: For open education, this is being used so a wide variety of students can have access to learning material. One prime example said in the podcast is MIT's open education. It is called MIT open courseware,

#3: During the PowerPoint Interaction project, I learned many new things that I didn't know before. I never realized that someone could go through a powerpoint without actually technically clicking to the next slide. I really liked this project because it is a whole new way to look at the PowerPoint software.
Power Point is such an awesome software! I can see it being super helpful in the future for the teaching, learning, and even just personal use. I didn't know that you could go through a powerpoint without clicking to the next slide either! So many cool features.
