Unit 1: Foundations of Flipping the Classroom

Welcome to Unit 1

Welcome to a mini-course devoted to all things FLIPPED CLASSROOM! We will be discovering why this new phenomenon in teaching is popular among teachers and students. We will focus engaging students through activities. A flipped classroom essentially is taking all the "book work" typically done in a classroom and giving students the learning as homework. When students arrive, they are ready to go, equipped with the new content knowledge they can use for activities to apply content in the classroom. Take a look at the objectives below. At the start of each new lesson, the unit overview will give you objectives that should be met before moving on. As always, please email me with any questions, clarification, or concerns you may need/have. By the end of this mini-course, you should have completed all performance objectives:
