15. …..so
“ Flip your instruction so that students watch and listen to
your lectures… for homework, and then use your precious
class-time for what previously, often, was done in
homework: tackling difficult problems, working in groups,
researching, collaborating, crafting and creating.
Classrooms become laboratories or studios, and yet content
delivery is preserved”
