It just so happened that the next week I went to a conference (last minute decision, by the way) in Syracuse that featured @E_Sheninger and his book Digital Leadership. I had heard about flipping a class , but didn’t really know what that meant until I started to research it. At 40 years old I was worried… do 40 year olds learn new technology? I flipped my AP Gov class and although there was a learning curve, I will never go back to traditional lecturing.
