Comments from Instructor Blogs

If the choice was between lecturing in front of passive
students vs. flipped classroom, I'd certainly choose

OWN lectures each time? It sounds as if teachers also
are referring to other sources.

What do you do if students don’t have the devices to
use to make this happen?
