Flipped Classrooms

I've thought long and hard about transforming my class into a "flipped classroom." This would be an excellent learning environment for senior nursing students. Entering screencasts that include PPT presentations with voice prior to classroom experience is an excellent idea. Once students read assigned materials and review PPTs with voice, coming to class and applying learned concepts will facilitate lifelong learning. Rote learning of concepts is one thing - but application of concepts proves understanding of the materials. Adult students desire a deep understanding of concepts and practice in the classroom is an excellent precurser to clinical application. I am considering re-thinking my teaching plan for the fall to include the "flipped classroom" experience.
