A flipped classroom is an opportunity to use readily accessible technology to free class time from traditional lectures which allows for an expanded rage of learning activities such as greater teacher-to-student mentoring, peer-to-peer collaboration and cross-disciplinary engagement during class time. This paper investigates the "flipped" or "inverted" classroom model in order to address obstacles of engaging millennial in lecture-based classrooms and presents an argument for application of the "flipped classroom" model by educators in the disciplines of family and consumer sciences. A feeling of importance to adapt to nowadays students learning preferences is enhanced as educators increasingly struggle to grasp the attention of modern learners. Unlike previous generations, now students reared on rapidly evolving technologies demonstrate decreased tolerance for lectures. Using active learning strategies is critical in order to reach today`s students.
