Explore the world of flipped learning, where students learn the basics at home and use class time for hands-on, collaborative learning. In this session, we'll use the educational technology tool Edpuzzle to create interactive video lessons that promote student engagement, self-paced learning, and a deeper understanding of content. We'll dive into the benefits and challenges of implementing this strategy, as well as practical insights to help transform your teaching.
