Jeff mentioned that it would be really nice to do a visit of these schools and dig into the ways they are personalizing/customizing the learning for the purpose of learner engagement and achievement. It sounds like a good idea to me.

Per conversation with Dave and Jamie this morning, I'm skeptical if these "flipped" classes/schools are truly blended in a personal/customized way. If you just flip where homework is done and everybody stays in lock step, it might better serve the kids that they get more 1:1 help in class, but are they truly personalizing the experience for kids with regards to multiple representations and control of time/place/scope of learning? Simply shifting lectures to videos doesn't seem customized to me.

To follow up, I'd like to visit these kinds of situations to witness what the f2f environment "looks" and tap students brains a bit to see how it's working for them.
