Flipped Classrooms & Engaging Classwork
Dr. Maggie Byrns, Flagler College
Flipped classrooms have become an increasingly popular method of mathematics instruction. This presentation will cover an overview of my use of the flipped classroom in my calculus and statistics courses. I’ll cover the techniques I’ve found effective, the challenges along with strategies for overcoming them, and general “dos” and “don’ts” when setting up your own flipped classroom. Additionally, I’ll share information on my use of instructor-created course packets and how I have found these course packets to work well in conjunction with the flipped classroom. A return to paper-and-pencil techniques blended with appropriate technology, the use of these course packets has led to greater group discussion and engagement during flipped classroom activities.
