Scott Snyder will be joining us to talk about some educational theory in the EMS Classroom. One of the hot topics over the last few years has been “Flipping the Classroom”, which has become something of a buzzword that has been driven by high profile publications in The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/25/us/25iht-educside25.html?_r=0); The Chronicle of Higher Education (http://chronicle.com/article/How-Flipping-the-Classroom/130857/); and other publications. The material presentation occurs outside of class through reading or lecture videos, and then the class time is used to do the harder work of assimilating the knowledge, through problem-solving discussions, or debates.
