  • "Flipping" the Classroom

  • 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM
  • The goal behind "flipping" a classroom is to create more in-class time when the people in the room actively engaged with each other and the topic at hand. Various technologies are often involved, either to facilitate activities in class or to move other activities (such as lectures) outside of class time. Join us for this half-day workshop for lively discussion and hands-on planning that will help you take concrete steps toward "flipping" your classroom.
