It was exciting to learn that flipping the classroom allows for higher order thinking like analysis, synthesis and evaluation; all important 21st century skills that students must have to be successful in their careers. I did find it interesting to learn that flipping the classroom has an incredible benefit for math and science. I definitely understand that now...especially because it allows for class time to answer questions and clear misconceptions. It was also exciting to learn that failure rates decrease in flipped classrooms. It truly does take time to learn how to put the correct materials into recorded lectures, assignments, and videos. I have found that chunking information into small bits helps both instructor and student reach the intended outcomes.
