Flipped Classroom

Info

The flipped classroom model is where your in-class activities are flipped with the homework. Students engage virtually with instructional content first, and when they arrive to class they apply their knowledge with hands-on activities. This gives the teachers a way to support each student and the students to work at their own pace.
