The dream of flipping “[S]ince [content delivered outside of class] teaches the standard factual knowledge usually found in traditional lectures, teachers have an opportunity to make their classrooms a place where inventing, abstracting, conjecturing, proving, and applying [the content] in realistic situations is the norm. This is the essence of the classroom flip.” -Jeremy F. Strayer, “The Effects of the Classroom Flip on the Learning Environment” (2007 Ohio State).
