Now, what does all of this mean?
The idea of flipping a classroom is using time in the classroom to create more hands-on learning experiences, while students spend time at home reviewing videos and screenshots about the concepts.. Additionally, flipped classrooms consist of the use of various technologies to enhance students learning inside and outside of the classroom. One example of that technology is the use of Camtasia. Camtasia is a screen capture and video editing software that is published by the TechSmith company.
Using Camtasia to capture lessons is quick and intuitive. Camstasia allows you to incorporate PowerPoints, videos, images, and even video of yourself into a lesson. Finished lessons can be directly shared to YouTube. Incorporating technology into a flipped classroom, "[...] goes far beyond using computers to write term papers and or researching topics on the internet." Through Camtasia, students are able to be more responsible for their learning, which leads to students being more actively engaged in their learning.

Benefits of a flipped classroom
1. Students move at their own pace.
2. Doing "homework" in class gives teachers better insight into student difficulties and learning styles.
3. Teachers can more easily customize and update the curriculum and provide it to students 24/7.
4. Classroom time can be used more effectively and creatively.
5. Teachers using the method report seeing increased levels of student achievement, interest, and engagement.
6. Learning theory supports the new approaches
7. The use of technology if flexible and appropriate for "21st century learning."
8. There is more time to spend with students on authentic research
9. Students get more time working with scientific equipment that is only available in the classroom.
10. Students who miss class can watch the lectures while on the road.
11. The method "promotes thinking inside and outside of the classroom."
12. Students are more actively involved in the learning process.
13. They really like it.
