In Class Discussion:
It was interesting to hear all of the different age groups experience in their classroom growing up. Although all were different for the most part the root of education hasn't changed since the beginning of public school; if not then then certainly not the projector. Where my older class mates experienced most of there technology with projectors those around my age and myself experienced mostly power point based lectures. This appears to be where the vast majority of education still is although supplemented with smart board technology. It was also interesting to see that most people's experience in the class with flipped classrooms had been negative. It's good to see Crash Course get the credit it deserves as well.
How I would implement these technologies:
It's amazing how much easier it is to embed video within power point and I would certainly take advantage of that to say insert clips from the Great Dictator to spice up a build up to WWII power point. I would definitely utilize crash course but I think I would combine it with Edmondo for the most part to provide students with an alternative voice for the history in case that helps them. I could also send them a short lesson of mine with a crash course clip on a subject which could then discuss/debate in class or break into group questions.
