<p style="FONT-FAMILY:Calibri" align="left"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT:bold">Flipping the Classroom 101: An Introduction to Flipped Learning</span><br>
Friday, March 25, 2016<br>
12:00 - 1:00 p.m.<br>
Farish Hall, Kiva Room<br>
<span style="FONT-STYLE:italic">A light lunch will be provided.</span></p>
<p style="FONT-FAMILY:Calibri" align="left">Guest Speaker: Dr. Julie Schell, University of Texas - Austin.</p>
<p style="FONT-FAMILY:Calibri" align="left">Instructors all over the globe are turning their students' worlds around by flipping their classrooms. In a flipped class, teachers move information coverage out of the lecture hall so that they can better leverage in-class time to address student difficulties and misconceptions. In this interactive session, Dr. Julie Schell will flip the workshop by providing brief introductory, pre-workshop activities to participants. She will use responses from these activities in the workshop and discuss the why, what, and how of flipped classrooms by confronting and resolving a series of common myths about flipped teaching.</p>
