Some Hardin County teachers are creating instructional videos for students to watch as part of their assignments.

Fourth-grade science teacher Jamie Chenault tells The News-Enterprise she assigns her students to watch one or two videos or presentations a week. The videos were created either by herself, another teacher or an educational organization.

For students without Internet access, they watch the videos by using computers or tablets at school during breakfast.

The concept is known as the flipped classroom approach. It's a recognition that learning doesn't occur only in classrooms.

One benefit of the concept is allowing students to re-watch lectures or videos if they don't understand the lesson.
