FLIPPED CLASSROOM

 FLIPPED CLASSROOM

1. A flipped classroom is a type of blended learning where students are introduced to content at home and practice working through it at school. This is the reverse of the more common practice of introducing new content at school, then assigning homework and projects to be completed by the students independently at home.
2. Students in the flipped classroom are given access to the resources they need most. In this blended learning approach, face-to-face interaction is mixed with independent study. Students might watch pre-recorded videos at home, then come to school to do the homework.
