Flip teaching

Flip Teaching is when the teacher and the students do things in a different order than they usually do in school. Instead of the teacher telling the students what they will be learning and then teaching it to them in class, the teacher gives the students some work to do before class. This work could be watching a video, looking at some slides, or reading a text. After doing the work, the students come to class and the teacher uses that time to talk about the material the students learned. This makes class time more like a discussion, and it helps the students learn the material better.
