  • Episode 0133: Flipped Classroom
    Show Notes
    • Host: Dan Hugo
    • Summary: I am not an actual educator, no credentials or classroom experience to speak of at all really, but based on my own life experiences, working with young people here and there, and conversations on this topic, along with some research of course, I think the Flipped Classroom is the way to go in the AI era. Surely this is a debate-worthy topic…

    Show Notes
    • Host: Dan Hugo
