Do you have a colleague that still lectures during class and assigns their students homework?? That’s sooooo 12th Century (no kidding)!! Inverted Instruction, Reverse Teaching, and Flipped Classrooms are terms used to
describe a powerful form of blended learning that is growing in popularity. Inverted Instruction leverages the power
of the Internet to free you up from in-class lectures and lets you spend more time interacting with your students.
Come learn how to turn your class up-side-down, make it more fun for you to teach, and significantly improve your
students’ learning.
