Students cannot passively receive material in class, which is one reason some students dislike flipping . Instead they gather the information largely outside of class, by reading, watching recorded lectures, or listening to podcasts.

And when they are in class, students do what is typically thought to be homework, solving problems with their professors or peers, and applying what they learn to new contexts. They continue this process on their own outside class.*

At this workshop Nancy Whitaker and Linda Warwiorka will share how flipped learning:
- transfers the ownership of the learning to the students.
- personalizes learning for all students
- gives teachers time to explore deeper learning opportunities and pedagogies with their students (PBL, CBL, Mastery, Inquiry, etc)
- makes learning (not teaching) the center of the classroom.
- maximizes the face to face time in the classroom.

Register to attend the Flipping the Classroom workshop on January 23 from 10:00 a.m. to 2: 00 p.m. Lunch will be provided.
