The most frequently heard criticism of the flipped classroom may be about accessibility. If you're doing a flipped classroom and you're providing this digital information, you want to make sure all students have access to this information. This is a problem if kids don't have internet access at home.

Related to section on how iPads are currently being used in a California school. making short videos to taking photos of complex formulas displayed on a blackboard for later review. Language students record themselves reciting lessons, and then upload the files to their teachers' drop boxes for critique. And math teachers use iPads to videotape students working through problems, explaining how they arrived at the solution and thereby demonstrating mastery of a lesson.
