Inverted Classrooms: “The Future of Education”
Bill Gates has called it “the future of education.” TED Talk presenter Salman Khan has declared it will “reinvent education.” And Science NOW columnist Jeffrey Mervis has argued that it’s a “better way to teach.” This highly-touted approach is the inverted classroom, a classroom in which the traditional model is reversed: students instead learn course material through video lectures for homework, and class time is devoted to helping them assimilate and apply their knowledge. I will share my experience using the inverted classroom to teach writing to help participants consider how they can use this approach in their own teaching.
