Flipping the classroom isn’t just popular among students; professors love it too. The “sage of the stage” model is becoming outdated as technology makes it as easy for professors to record lectures as it is for students to watch them. Reserving classroom time for interactive and collaborative learning is a refreshing approach to pedagogy and a remarkable use of technology.
