I have witnessed the benefits of the flipped classroom and see how this method of learning helps students learn and apply that knowledge in the activities I create.
Three basic steps are important in the process. The process before class, the process during the class, and the process of assessment after the class. The method is truly useful and student oriented.

Comment on Kevin Smith's post: This is a good idea as you can make things like technology integration into the lessons that are quick and fun that aligns with the course content.
I have utilized this technique when my class lands on a holiday. Giving the students the material they would learn in class beforehand. Review the material including the assignments in our next class. Mixed results, the students that applied themselves did great. Unfortunately, the less motivated students were put in catch-up mode. Overall, this presentation gave me some great ideas on how to make this work for the entire class.
The thought of having actual learning happening in the classroom is amazing, it motivates instructors to be creative and to engage students in the learning process.
Yes, in a flipped classroom, teachers can do assessments on students' knowledge and skills in same moment during the discussion at roll play, or at gaming time. This immediate feedback is more effective
Comment on Marian Achenie's post:
That is correct; instead of traditional classroom lectures, you can use flipped classrooms effectively. The pre-recorded lectures to watch and prepare for the class and in the classroom room; students can actively learn through interactive discussions, activities, and games, dividing students into groups for projects; in addition, at home, they can do homework.
The flipped classroom is the most helpful for nursing students. In it, they can discuss and actively learn skills and theories through role-playing and hands-on patient care in a simulation lab.
I feel if this type of classroom had been in effect during my school years, I would have moved through the courses faster with a better grasp of the content.
I have been considering flippng the classroom for some time now ; in my case I used this style for some chapters of my class.
The biggest hurdle I have found to this type of teaching method is what to do with students who don't complete the work outside of class? I have tried to implement this strategy into a class before and 1/2 to 1/3 of students either don't have the time or the means to access work outside of class. This leaves a good chunk of students behind.
It is always interesting to learn new techniques and strategies to engage students in the online classroom. I would definitely introduce this style of teaching to my future classes.
I see some things I can use ,but our format ould make implimentation challenging.
The flipped classroom allows students to become more engaged in their own learning. Preparing at home to acquire basic knowledge of a topic and then coming to class for discussions, activities, and group collaborations permits students to have a better understanding of class objectives. I will try this form of learning in one of my classes.
There are many great activities that can be used with a flipped classroom.
Great easy three step process
It's important to aligning activities with course objetives, get back to students with clear and positive fedback. It helps us to create more engaging and effective learning enviroment for the students after they have clear understood the process.
In my class I use YouTube videos as well as show them a demo on each and every lab we do.
