It's Time to Talk!

Unidos is a first.

· Incorporates the flip teaching model into its highly flexible approach

· Capitalizes on using technology so that valuable class time is focused on applying knowledge rather than for instruction–it literally flips the nature of what typically takes place in class and out of class.

· Instead of first learning in the classroom and then practicing learned material out of class, students learn outside of class and then apply what they have learned in the communicative environment of the classroom.
