A modern, innovative school must be able to attract everyone. It’s not a utopia. It’s called “Flipped Classroom,” a new inclusive didactic model for 21st century education.
The “Flipped Classroom” was conceived in the United States and only arrived in Europe a few years ago, but it is quickly winning over teachers and students alike. It is based on replacing frontal lessons and homework with a new learning-teaching process that flips the time, place and roles of traditional didactics and provides answers to individual needs and learning paces of all students. Books are lo longer needed. Students just need a smartphone and teachers who know how to exploit the fantastic opportunities provided by new technology for didactic activities to promote an inclusive, interactive and collaborative school
