Recently there has been much discussion about how to leverage technology in a way that allows students more class time to process their work. The Flipped classroom inverts traditional teaching methods, delivering instruction online outside of class and moving “homework” into the classroom. The basic intent is to make class time more student centered, focusing class time on problem solving and the application of content.
