= What is a flipped classroom? =

At its most simplified, flipped classroom is a method of teaching and learning in which content presentation and delivery happens as ‘homework’ during which students view and/or listen to presentations you’ve prepared for electronic delivery via internet. Class time, then, is devoted to engaging students in activities that help them construct meaning for themselves. The listening part happens at home; the doing part happens at school. Hence the flip.

Some benefits include
 * opportunity for you to circulate and work with students independently
 * teacher identifies struggling students sooner
 * students work together and collaborate
 * increase in problem-solving opportunities for students
