It is very interesting to see the concept of a flipped classroom here, as I just came across this article (http://www.edutopia.org/blog/biggest-hurdle-flipping-your-class-jon-bergmann) earlier this week. Filming lectures and creating videos allows students to access the information on their own later and gives you time and opportunity to work with students who need more help, as this quote states, and this is wonderful. The article I linked to argues that a truly flipped classroom takes this concept further and requires students to create the content for themselves and create their own learning. I think that including opportunities for both will be very helpful for both the students and for us. I wanted to find out more about what a "flipped" classroom really is, so I did some research and came across this article http://www.edutopia.org/blog/rethinking-the-flipped-classroom-idit-harel-caperton that I think gives a pretty good explanation of what it is and discusses the pros and cons of the "flipped model." This http://www.edutopia.org/blog/film-festival-flipped-classroom links to a playlist of videos in a sort of "film festival" of flipped classrooms. If you are interested in what all this is, check the links out, it helped explain it all for me! - Emi Blaser

Abigail, great point about using it in even the youngest classrooms! I can see how it would be very beneficial for kids who are struggling and need to see a lesson again. I'd love to hear more about how you used it in K- what kinds of lessons did you do it with, how did you structure the time in class? Thanks! -Emi Blaser
