  3. Some schools are starting to move away from using devices in the classroom and focus more on traditional teaching methods, which might lead to better outcomes for students.

  1. Flipped classrooms ask students to learn material at home, which can allow more time for hands-on activities in class. But this may only help if teachers usually give long lectures.
  2. Not all studies agree that flipping classes is better. Many results vary, and sometimes it's just about how much time students spend learning, not the flipping method itself.
  3. There can be challenges like students missing out if they don't do the pre-class work, or if they lack resources at home. Good learning is really about mixing new content with active learning in a clear way.
