Recenzii

"This great book provides the background, reasons, and advantages of flipping. It is the perfect book for someone trying to decide whether or not to get their feet wet.  It also offers resources for further in-depth study and collaboration."
"Flipped classrooms empower teachers to engage students in deeper learning. This book gives readers ten reasons for joining forces to make this possibility a reality."
"This book addresses some of the basic inadequacies in our traditional educational practice. It provides an innovative and thoughtful alternative to the all too prevalent non-student centered approach that has dominated education for too long."
"I highly recommend this book for any educator interested in flipping the classroom to reinvent the learning process.  The stories show how flipping is energizing teachers and students – with powerful results!"
"This is an interesting text written in a conversational tone by an author who is knowledgeable about technology and enthusiastic about the potential of flipping as a technique to alter teaching and learning. Well-written case studies from various classrooms provide insight into what flipping means as a part of instruction."
