Then, the classroom time is set aside for one on one help, discussion, and interaction based on the lecture homework. With nearly every student carrying a mobile device or laptop, this model may give students and teachers more time to work on areas of difficulty rather than simple straight lecture.

• Gives teachers more time to spend 1:1 helping students.
• Builds stronger student/teacher relationships.
• Offers a way for teachers to share information with other faculty, substitute teachers, students, parents, and the community easily.
• Produces the ability for students to “rewind” lessons and master topics .
• Creates a collaborative learning environment in the classroom.
