5. The Flipped Classroom (gradually) A flipped classroom simply inverts conventional teaching methods to deliver instruction online at home, and move 'homework' into the classroom. The idea is to build more productive student-teacher interaction and the higher- order learning objectives from Bloom's taxonomy. © 2013 FrontRow Calypso LLC. What the flip does particularly well is to bring about a distinctive shift in priorities from merely covering material to working toward mastery of it. © 2012 EDUCAUSE
