This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Dr. Stoltzfus talks about how, in an time period with many online distractions, the way students are taught hasn't kept up. Even with modern technology, the way students are taught is archaic, so he "flipped his classroom."
