 * Flip Your Library**

Widespread Internet use, social media, and gaming have contributed to a generation of interactive self-learners. Flipped teaching allows educators to restructure traditional teaching models to accommodate mastery learning and individualized pace. Critical to the restructuring of learning is rethinking class time and independent learning time. Is listening to the teacher lecture the most valuable use of class time? Is reading from reference books the most valuable use of library time? In this session we are going to look at ways of collaborating with teachers that encourage students to start researching at home with the assistance of vodcast tutorials, saving the valuable library time for important content and research discussions with their classroom teachers and teacher librarians.
