Interestingly, using technology during class time isn’t as distracting as it seems and could be more beneficial to your child than not doing so. Today, flipped classrooms are on the rise and educators are on board with the change. In fact, 86% of educators think students need video capture skills to succeed in their future workplace, and 1 in 3 educational professionals see video as a way to reach students who don’t have access to classroom learning.
A flipped classroom is an intriguing concept. In short, students receive their lectures at home by using technology to watch pre-recorded videos, sleeping on the new content overnight, and taking their questions to class the next day.
