46. Why Flip?
#1. Eliminate Parent
Questions
Creating videos or documents to
explain projects or program
features will help the parent to
help your student at home.
47. Why Flip?
#2. Eliminate Re-Teaching
Creating videos to explain the
content will help the student who
does not understand the
material immediately. Also, the
videos will eliminate the need to
re-teach content to absent
students.
48. Why Flip?
#3. Eliminate those annoying
questions
Do you have little pieces of your
content that your students
should know and you are tired of
re-teaching?
49. Why Flip?
#4. Become the Teacher You've Always
Wanted To Be
Many of us joined the teaching profession with
the idea of working one-on-one with
students, sharing our love for our
content. However, when we started
teaching, we immediately found that this
'magical' world didn't exist. Flip Teaching will
help to create the world that you wanted with
more one-on-one time.
