Flipped classroom

How it is used

Teachers flip their classroom or a lesson, and people talk about a flipped approach or flipped learning. It depends on students actually doing the preparation, so teachers often add a short check at the start of class.

Example sentences

1. In my flipped classroom, students watch a ten-minute video at home and solve problems in class.

2. The flipped classroom model gave me more time to help students one to one.
