I’m a bit wary/skeptical about 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

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).

The flipped classroom, although not for everyone, is truly an innovative way of learning in the 21st century classroom. This article might help in answering a few questions. http://www.vvclassroom.com/?p=1198

I flipped a few years ago and have not looked back. The positives of flipping greatly outweigh any negatives, at least for me and my students. (Check out http://tinyurl.com/nogfe3r to learn some of the benefits of a flipped classroom.) One indication that students appreciate the educational benefits that flipping provides is the number of students who I taught last year who tried to convince their new teacher to flip his class.
As for performance, flipping in and of itself will not boost outcomes appreciably. However, if the time that flipping frees up is used properly (i.e. especially lots of student-student interactions and mastery learning opportunities) then the results are nothing short of incredible!
