24. What the heck is a
“Flipped Classroom?”
• People learn new things better at their own pace.
• I won’t be showing you basic concepts in class
• Your homework is to learn the basics (my video
tutorials)
• In class time is for creating projects

25. How will it work?
• Suze’s Training Blog (http://
training.suzemuse.com)
• I will assign tutorials as your homework (along
with other tasks too!)
•You will review the tutorials on your own time, at
your own pace. You can take notes as you go or
work in the software - whatever works best for
you.
• Pause, rewind, replay and review the tutorials as
much as you like.

26. How will it work?
• You will come to class each week prepared,
having gone through the assigned tutorials.
• We will focus our in-class time on actually
creating your assignments.
• I am here to help!
