14. So Why Flip My Classroom
Flipped Classrooms are also known as…Flip Teaching - Inverted
Classrooms - Reverse Classrooms - Backwards Teaching - Etc.
Often considered flipped class because what is traditionally
considered in class activities (i.e. "lecture" is done at home via
teacher-created or teacher shared videos) and what used to be
homework (assigned problems) is now done in class under the
mentorship of the instructor.
