CLASSROOM TECHNOLOGY 15

Flipping a classroom is the practice of having students view videos or complete readings outside of the classroom that would supplement the "lecture" part of the class. When doing this, it provides time in class for teachers and students to communicate and ask questions about the material, and spend class time doing meaningful activities and projects. This model is great for students who learn at differnt paces, and helps them take more ownership of their learning. Below are a few videos demonstrating flipping a classroom!
