Flipped Classrooms
The flipped classroom approach involves using content (often video) which students can access anytime, anywhere. The purposes are to free up classroom time for higher order activities, discussing etc rather than just viewing/hearing content and also so students can review content in their own time as needed. These could be pre-existing content or can be created by teachers or students.
