3.   Connect

What is the perception of a flipped classroom?

·         A fear people have is that the teacher will be flipped out of the classroom

·         It takes away from the exploration of the child

·         It takes a lot of work

·         Students come to class and know the answer

For leaders, having the resources is problematic.

·         There is a lack of access

What are your perceptions of blended and connected?

·         Some online content along with classroom interaction
