The author thinks that the "flipped classroom" is forcing teachers to reflect on their practice and how they reach their students. It inspires teachers to change how they do things and motivating them to bring technology into the classroom. The Pro is students can go at their own pace, review what they need, teacher able to spend more time with students who need help, and missed lessons can be viewed. The Con is access to technology, students spending more time in front of a screen, and not everyone learns through video.

This site had a nice little blurb about flipped classrooms and had three video interviews with educators who use the flipped classroom style in their schools and the talks about how successful it was and how positively the students responded to the flip. After the other site I reviewed was so negative, it is nice that this one was positive and I'm surprised by the percentage change before and after the flip of students failing the courses. The number of students failing the class was cut in half for science, math, social studies, and English in one case.

To the author, the flipped classroom is not just a model where teachers must record videos or podcast for students to view at home; it has much more content that people have missed.

She also suggested that inside a flipped classroom, educators should be able to design collaborative, creative, student-centered activities and assignments to fully engage students' learning potentials.

I would use this in the classroom by having students actively do science and have them share what they found with the class.

Once they know they're good at something they'll put more time and effort into developing that skill.
