FlipCon 2015, the Flipped Learning Conference, Expands in 8th Year
The future for flipped learning has never looked brighter.
The teaching method, which moves direct instruction from the group learning space to the individual learning space, is taking off in schools across the country.
Learn the difference between a flipped classroom and flipped learning.
FlipCon 2015, the Flipped Learning Network's 8th annual conference, at Michigan State University, will gather some of the best thought leaders of the movement and expand its scope to incorporate higher education instruction.
This year's conference will run from July 13–15, and attendees, whether they’re an elementary teacher or a college professor, will learn tips and tactics for integrating flipped teaching methods in their classrooms.
“Last year, more than 400 attendees gathered at FlipCon14 to learn how Flipped Learning helps students apply concepts and engage creatively with subject matter,” said Flipped Learning pioneer Jon Bergmann in a press release. “FlipCon15 has evolved to equip K-16 with even more skills and knowledge to implement or expand Flipped Learning pedagogy.”
