Objectives

• 'Flip the classroom' to maximize the collaborative impact of 'together time'

• Map learning objectives to the appropriate virtual classroom tools using a modern application of Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning

• Determine what content is best delivered in a live, virtual format

What is a Flipped Classroom?

The Flipped Classroom • Use classroom time to
