with a new semester starting, it\u2019s a good time to think about ways to ensure that your students are engaged and learning the things you want them to learn. a great way to do this is by \u201cflipping the classroom,\u201d an approach that has been popularized by high profile publications in the new york times<\/em>, the chronicle of higher education<\/em>, and science.<\/em> in essence, \u201cflipping the classroom\u201d means that students gain first exposure to new material outside of class and then use class time to do the harder work of applying that knowledge to problems, debates, or case studies. this workshop will highlight key elements of the flipped classroom, introduce different methods for establishing those elements, and provide opportunity for teachers to discuss their ideas for or experience with flipping the classroom.
