Teaching Opinion Will Classrooms be "Flipped" to Cut Costs?
The flipped classroom model is beautiful because it frees up the teacher to create meaningful lessons and project-based learning experiences where lectures and direct transfer of knowledge previously had to happen. Moreover, it offers teachers the space needed to provide targeted and effective extra help for struggling learners. Flipped learning is not a substitute for these interactions and should never be considered a cost-cutting method, lest it negate the very educational benefits it promises.

Education Opinion Rethinking Teaching and Time with the Flipped Classroom
I'm doing one of my favorite tasks today: I'm running a Flipped Classroom workshop today at Shrewsbury High School. I love working with teachers about the Flipped Classroom, because it has a fabulous balance of pedagogy and technology. Specifically, it's a little bit about some very easy screencasting technology, and the majority of our time is spent thinking about goals, pedagogy and learning.
