Flipped learning activities are designed to establish a common foundation upon which we can build during our time together. You can also revisit these activities over time and/or incorporate them into your own professional development offerings.
• Bring things that will help you stay engaged, focused, and curious.
Many like to bring a journal or notebook that is dedicated for reflection vs. note taking. You might also want to bring a special writing implement and/or things to color and doodle with. Lastly, aim to limit your access to distractors like email, dress comfortably and in layers, and make sure you have snacks and liquids available.
