Flipped Classrooms

Kim Sprankle, instructional librarian at Northñeld Mount Hermon School in Gill, Massachusetts, uses Guide on the Side to create online tutorials for grades 9-12 and calls it a "game changer" that better prepares students for their library session. Since the flipped classroom model is still young, there is little research to determine whether this approach improves student learning. [...]anecdotal evidence suggests that the hands-on learning and group activities hold students' attention more than a traditional lecture format.
