Flip Learning What is it…? It’s called flip learning because learning starts before the lesson at home. Homework is about basic knowledge gathering. The lesson now becomes focused on applying the information and practicing analysing information based on knowledge. The lesson becomes about challenging each student to consider and re-consider their ‘understanding.’ Need something to write with – maybe a pen would do We all know that a little prior learning really helps. It lets us accelerate the learning process. Or does it? <Audience participation>
