Five Reasons I'm Not Flipping Over The Flipped Classroom

If you've read my thoughts about the Flipped Classroom in USA Today, you probably are either in agreement with my caution over the excitement around the flipped classroom made popular by Sal Kahn or you are a flipped classroom advocate who wants to convince me and other innovative educators that flipping is for everyone.
While I certainly see benefits in flipping instruction as I wrote about earlier this year, there are also reasons to move ahead with caution.

New Tech Network of schools which are problem based learning high schools. The first thing I noticed was the open spaces and architecture
-
The second and more lasting thing I noticed was the students. They were in hallways and classrooms. They were on laptops, listening to headphones, working independently, working in groups, and working on projects. Everyone seemed engrossed in whatever tasks they were involved in. Not everyone was doing the same thing. It was not quiet, but it also was not loud either. The one group of people I had a hard time locating were the teachers.
