In a traditional classroom, the teacher gives a lecture and assigns homework. Now reverse it. Students watch the lesson at home, or on the bus using their smartphone, computer or tablet. The homework? It’s done in class. The idea of the flipped classroom is becoming more and more common, said Patrice Hallock, Utica College Education Department chairwoman. “The students are actively engaged in the classroom under the supervision of the teacher, so they are doing activities that apply the content in the classroom,” Hallock said. “Whenever there is higher student engagement, there’s more learning that occurs.”
