Flipping the classroom” is a student-centered model where students watch a lecture online which frees up valuable
class time that can effectively be used to foster a more collaborative, experiential, and creative classroom atmosphere
with more emphasis on 1-1 interaction between students and teachers. This presentation will present the pros and
cons of this model as well as the details on how to practically implement such an approach into nearly any school
setting,without an overly robust network infrastructure or expensive hardware.
