TO FLIP OR NOT TO FLIP YOUR CLASSROOM4IntroductionThe traditional system of teaching and learning where the teachers spend 90 percent of the time to lecture as the students listen and take notes and sometimes get an assignment has come under critical scrutiny from a section of educators, policy makers, parents and event students. According to Gojak (2012, para. 1),. “Whenever a different strategy comes along, educators wonder about its potential, including for the latest addition--the flipped classroom.”.Flipping the classroom has emerged as one of the alternatives to the above challenge. Flip the classroom is a system where the students are given tasks to take home. The students then do a presentation during the classroom hours by sharing their findings. Thereforeus the focus is the shift from teachers giving lectures to students’ engagement. Some simple define this method as using videos to do the assignment.

According to Hennick(1999), flipping the classroom is more about focusing and spending time with students and less time lecturing them.
