Flip 2-Introduction of Saul Wurman's L.A.T.C.H application
My group was tasked to explain this second topic, L.A.T.C.H. We first explained what latch is, and then use a theme: famous shoe brand around the world to allocate the next content as:

1. L – Location; organizing information based on space or place, such as a subway map
   
   
2. A – Alphabetical; a good way of organizing information if there’s no other prevailing strong organizational structure
   
   
3. T – Time, as in timelines, directions, or other sequential information
   
   
4. C – Category, as in types of information (perhaps an infographic about students might sort data first by grade, then by gender, etc.).
   
   
5. H – Hierarchy, as in tallest to shortest, most expensive to least, youngest to oldest.

Flip 3-Miller's Law (Chunking)

What impressed me was the flip classroom this week, because one group of students used a small interaction to let other students know more about what chunking is, how to use it, and its importance. The students also used simple and easy-to-understand examples of chunk and not chunk, so that I can understand the difference more.

Flip 4-Manuel Lima’s 9 directives manifestos

In my opinion, the students who explain this topic are doing a good job. The 7th group provides very effective good and bad examples, and the 8th group provides a simple and easy to understand explanation. The combination of these two groups can make I better understand what the 9 Directives Manifesto consists of:

1. Form Follows Function
2. Interactivity is Key
3. Cite Your Sources
4. The Power of Narrative
5. Do Not Glorify Aesthetics
6. Look For Relevancy
7. Embrace Time
8. Aspire For Knowledge
9. Avoid Gratuitous Visualization
