Presented by: Gareth Callan
Story – This presentation looks at the benefit of the flipped classroom model in education. It will introduce the concept of the flipped classroom and show how this can be achieved, primarily through the use of a range of ICT tools. Examples of possible tools will be given, along with ways that they can be introduced in the classroom to scaffold the transition. This should be of particular interest to teachers of students with devices, but can also be used by those who do not use devices in class daily.
