Flipped Classroom Part 1

What is it?  The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model where the traditional lecture and homework elements are reversed.  Pre-recorded video lectures are viewed before class.  In-class time is repurposed so students can inquire about lecture content, apply their knowledge, and participate in hands-on activities.  By reversing the traditional lecture and homework elements and integrating engaged-learning activities, educators can transition their class from a teacher-centered to a learner-centered environment.  Making this transition will completely change the dynamics of the classroom and make students more responsible for their own learning.  Student engagement, participation, and understanding increase too!
