Have you tried flipping your own classroom and wish to share experiences with other experimental educators? Join librarians Kimberly Miller and Sara Arnold-Garza for this workshop, which explores the teaching model where lecture content and homework activities are flipped, making practical use of modern technologies and efficient use of limited class time.
