Flip teaching,or a flipped classroom, is a form of blended learning which encompasses any use of technology to leverage the learning in a classroom, so a teacher can spend more time interacting with students instead of lecturing. (source: wikipedia)

Patricia S. Lynch, PhD, will present an overview of what flipping a classroom is and how it has worked for her. Dr. Lynch, who is with the Center on Disability and Development at Texas A&M University and a professor at Texas A&M University in the College of Education and Human Development, focuses on Career Development Education and has ‘flipped' college courses. Dr. Lynch will show her current classroom structure and discuss how the students perform using the flipped structure. Dr. Lynch will also discuss how ‘flipping' might be applicable to community education and beyond.

This presentation is sponsored by the National Community Educators Directors' Council (NCEDC) as a learning opportunity for the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD).
