A resource person plays a vital role in enhancing the teaching and learning process. Their importance is evident both before and during teaching, as they provide expert knowledge, real-world context, and support for effective instructional delivery.

Before Teaching:

1. Planning and Curriculum Development:
   Resource persons help in designing curriculum and lesson plans that are aligned with current industry practices and academic standards. They offer insights to ensure the content is relevant, up-to-date, and practical.
2. Content Expertise:
   Teachers may not be subject-matter experts in every aspect of a topic. Resource persons bridge this gap by sharing specialized knowledge. They ensure that the information to be taught is accurate and thorough.
3. Training and Professional Development:
   Resource persons can conduct workshops and training sessions for teachers, enhancing their skills and confidence in delivering content.
4. Material Preparation:
   They may assist in developing teaching aids, case studies, or real-life examples that can be incorporated into lessons.

During Teaching:

1. Enhancing Learning Experience:
   Resource persons can be invited to classrooms as guest speakers or co-instructors, providing firsthand perspectives and real-world experiences. This exposure makes learning more engaging and meaningful for students.
2. Demonstrating Practical Applications:
   They show how theoretical concepts apply in practical scenarios, which deepens student understanding.
3. Answering Advanced Questions:
   Their expertise enables them to handle complex student queries that go beyond textbook content.
4. Motivating Students :
   Interaction with professionals often inspires students by exposing them to potential career paths and success stories.

Conclusion:
As we thrive in making our lesson more interactive and attractive for learners we must also make room for a resource persons to enrich the educational process by bringing in-depth knowledge, real-life context, and professional perspectives. Their involvement, both before and during teaching, contributes significantly to the quality and effectiveness of education

Flipped learning is an instructional approach and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom. In a flipped classroom, students engage with new material at home (via videos, readings, or other digital content) and then apply that knowledge in class through activities, discussions, and problem-solving with the teacher's guidance.
Flipped learning has positive impact of both learners and teachers.

types of flipped Learning

1. Video Based Flipped learning :

This is where video is assigned to learners with infused question to drag comprehension through online platforms like edpuzzles, Flipgrid,playposit,nearpod etc..
# 2. Games Based Flipped Learning:
This is where educational games like kahoot,Blooket,padket,Games based learning to engage learning whiles learning and understanding new concepts.
#3 TextBook Based Flipped Learning:
This is where student are been assigned or asked to read some articles, novels or even passage to get familiar and join the class with sufficient background.
4. # Research based Flipped Learning:
This is useful for new topic , here learners are made to do small or sometimes intensive research before coming to the class.
5. Project Based Flipped Learning:
This is where learners are assigned small project before the actual content in the class, learners are made to have first hand experience of the project before actually meeting in the classroom.
6. # Blog Based Flipped Learning :
This is where the teacher update his or her blog daily as learners follows and read content from there, learners are prepared enough before coming to the school.
7. Group Based Flipped Learning:
This encourages collaboration and health competition among students, learners are made to join the class after group discussion and outcomes.
8. # Faux Flipped learning:
This is aim at replacing the tradition homework with digital tool like laptop or online assignment and after learners are done one to one interaction is done by the teacher
Here leaners can work with his tablet or laptop.

Personally I usually downloads instructional videos on youtube directly using the "savefromNet" where video links are copied and pasted in the website, and then access is granted to download it for free. after this even with or without reliable network I am good to do.

My name is Samuel Atta Okoh from Ghana, I am a Technology Teacher in one of Government High school in Ghana, I am overwhelmed to be part of this beautiful competition, I will be working on Flipped classroom.

In my country Ghana, learners are not allow to use smartphones in the class, this policy end up to the tertiary where student are feel to do so. I personal agreed with this policy because as a tech Savvy like me, I understand the consequences of using smart phone in class especially High school, can bring i.e Irrelevant content, distraction in class etc.., I always agreed to the point that until learners are monitored and strict cyber security measures are putting in place in Ghana, learners should not be allowed to use smartphone in the class.

Hello there!
My name is Samuel Atta Okoh from Ghana, I am currently a High School Technology Teacher in Ghana. I am a Tech Savvy and really happy to be part of this wonderful Competition. I will be treating and exploring more in the topic "Flipped Classroom Implementation". I can't wait for this beautiful adventure.

Ghana's education minister is working tirelessly with the Government of Ghana to implement a policy that is actively exploring the integration of AI, with a focus on both equipping students with relevant skills and leveraging AI tools for improved learning experiences. The Ghana Ministry of Education is working towards a more comprehensive approach, including curriculum reform, infrastructure development, and assessment strategies.

# Here's a more detailed look at Ghana's approach:
1**. AI in the Curriculum:**
The Ministry is developing a National AI in Education Framework, which will outline clear benchmarks for AI integration across primary and junior high school levels.

• Curriculum Reform:
  Existing ICT, science, and creative arts syllabi are being adjusted to incorporate basic AI concepts, ethics, and real-world applications.
  Project-Based Learning:
  Students at the junior high school level are expected to engage in project-based AI tasks.
  # 2. Infrastructure and Access:
• Digital Devices:
  Efforts are underway to ensure that digital devices are available in every district, through a combination of government procurement, cost-sharing models, and corporate partnerships.
• Digital Literacy:
  The overall goal is to develop the desire and competence in children to use ICTs and equip learners with necessary ICT skills.

This is very useful in terms of the classroom setting brain break is more like Ice breakers, which is It’s quick, fun, and encourages discussion in the classroom.

My name is Samuel Atta Okoh from Ghana, I am a High School Technology Teacher in Ghana, I am simply a Technophile and really enjoying teaching ICT especially when all the needed resources are around me.
At my leisure time I usually want to have a drive or a walk with my children.
