Students watch pre-recorder videos at home, then come to school to do the homework armed with questions and at least some background knowledge. ( https://www.teachthought.com/learning/the-definition-of-the-flipped-classroom/ ) Luckily I joined CALL class. WHY? because in this class I learnt everything new, especially for studying programs and also studying systems. I already known about flipped classroom but I did not understand how to prepare the material to apply in studying system (flipped classroom) and also the media that teachers use. Honestly, it is new for me to know about flipped classroom because I did not have experience with this studying system. I have spent my studying time to study in classroom when I was in high school.
