  I've posted a number of articles about Flipped Classrooms and Blended Instruction.
  I wouldn't generally post this many articles, but I had a couple of people request that I add any information that I had in my personal collection to this group.

  We're very interested in the flipped classroom model; however, many have concerns about accessibility. Does anyone have any advice for serving students with limited access to technology at home?

  Adam,
  
  An idea that I have been bouncing around is NOT requiring students to access the information from home.

  
  What if instead the students were on an A-day / B-day schedule...where on A-days students would be receive class content in a technology lab at school where they would explore and research information needed for the next class. They would wrap up the Content Day by completing an exit ticket on the material delivered that day.

  
  B-days would be Questioning and Application Days with the teacher... who would have modified the lesson based on the levels of understanding expressed by the students at the end of the previous A-day's exit tickets. (Just in Time Teaching)

  
  Essentially this model would allow a teacher to "teach" a class on B-days while also having a full block every other day for planning for that class...and the opportunity for callbacks and/or open office.

  
  Anyhow...just a brief thought about one possibility.

  
  A note to this is that Blended Instruction is important piece for students for many reasons. But, an often overlooked reason is that if we look at the post-high school experience of students we see that colleges and employers rely heavily on technology to deliver content and education. We need to be preparing students to learn how to learn through technology.

  Adam...how about providing the lessons on DVDs for those that might not have computers in their homes.

  Or, thumbdrives for those with poor internet access.

  Or, QR codes for those students with more access to technology?
