Kristi Harjo has been a middle school science teacher for over 20 years. She was introduced to blended learning over 10 years ago, and she has been implementing the flipped classroom model and science station rotation model ever since. Her students have repeatedly told me that they prefer the flipped classroom model for notetaking as opposed to the traditional model and wish that more teachers used the model in their own classrooms.
