CULLOWHEE—“Schoolwork at home and homework at school” is one of the many definitions of a flipped classroom. Explore the history, styles, and benefits of flipping your classroom, including practical, hands-on ways to create, curate, and differentiate video content with the program “Flipping Instruction Without Flipping Out: The Digital Learning Classroom.”

The program takes place in Cullowhee at the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching, a recognized national leader in professional development programming for North Carolina teachers.

Participants in NCCAT Online can now receive digital badges as part of the program.

Digital badges are a way to capture and communicate what an individual knows and can demonstrate in any given field. While this electronic method of recognizing an individual’s knowledge and skills has been around for several years, it has recently gained momentum as a way to recognize individual’s learning. Digital badges are a way to certify the skills of a learner in basic education programs that are valued in schools.
