Written by Digital Editor | Apr 20, 2016 4:24:00 AM

Flipped learning and flipped classroom are current buzzwords in education. Entering either term in any search engine calls up articles and blogs posts by people sharing their successes using this pedagogical approach or asking questions about what it entails. But what is it and why is it important? Dana Johansen and Sonja Cherry-Paul are here to help you out.

Dana and Sonja wanted to find ways for students to access the concepts and resources they needed to work at their own pace. What do your students need to work on? Do they need to move forward in the workshop? Do they need a better review of concepts? Empower them with flipped learning.
