I’m a bit wary/skeptical about this whole “Flipped Classroom” idea and how it works in practice.
Diana Laufenberg spoke for me, also, in some of her tweets about the concept:
My issues with the concept of flipping is that I think it should just be a conversation about pedagogy, not homework.#sschat

If an entire school were to ‘flip’ aren’t they just going home to do the least engaging form of learning, alone?#sschat

@ThalesDream … but imo, calling it a trendy name distracts from a conversation about teaching/learning.#sschat

But I’m still open to learning, and I invite your suggestions for additions to this list.
In the meantime, though, here are some posts that share some of my questions more eloquently than I could:

In her post, he shared this infographic from Daniel Grafton, which I think anyone exploring the idea of a Flipped Classroom would find helpful.

Thanks for aggregating this list for us! I agree that the conversation should be about pedagogy, not “homework” but am hopeful that successful stories of “flipped” implementation will likely shed light on the pedagogical transformations that come with the approach.

The “flipped class” model has been used in universities and colleges for many years.
Anyone recognize this model:
1. Read the articles/chapters on your own time.
2. Discuss them in the tutorial with peers and tutor.
This is the same “flipped” structure; it just uses earlier/lower technology. In the past, the teacher selected suitable readings and left it to the students to engage. The new technology enables the teacher’s creativity and their ability to be more intimately involved with making the assigned learning outside of the classroom more interactive and engaging (and more likely to be done).
