Flipped Learning

Flipped Learning Resources


Flipped Learning, a method of classroom instruction that can utilize video tutorials as 'homework', is a strategy that can be utilized by any teacher, instructor, and trainer. A philosophical change from traditional instruction, Flipped Learning provides greater opportunities to connect with students, implement critical thinking activities, foster collaboration, and create unique, personalized learning opportunities for students. Rather than using time to lecture, time is used to engage students in meaningful and practical applications of content.  Below you will find some helpful blogs and websites that can provide great ideas and detail about Flipped Learning.
