The flipped classroom is an innovative pedagogical approach that reverses the traditional model of teaching in both K-12 and higher education environments. In the conventional setup, instructors deliver lectures during class time, assigning homework for students to complete independently afterward. The flipped classroom inverts this sequence: core content delivery, often in the form of pre-recorded lectures or curated readings, occurs before class.

This model is underpinned by constructivist theories of learning, which emphasize the active construction of knowledge through engagement and social interaction. By moving passive learning outside of class, the flipped classroom creates opportunities for individualized instruction, immediate feedback, and deeper exploration of concepts during face-to-face sessions. Rather than consuming lectures passively, students come prepared with foundational knowledge, which they apply and test in various in-class activities, such as group discussions, […]

Microsoft announced that as part of the latest update for Edge, Copilot Mode is being retired from the browser, but there are new AI features coming in for the desktop version of the app (and the mobile one, too). The biggest change here is that Copilot can now scan over all the tabs you have open in Edge and pull information to answer your queries. The idea is that if you are, for example, planning to book a […]
