    This is a great explanatory video for parents (and potential "flippers"). She gives a very good overview on the research, the rationale for her school to embrace it, and offers her insights into how it will benefit the 4th graders in her classroom.

Flipped .ORG - 0 views

  •  
    This site offers membership for an online community of practice for and by Flipped Educators. There are various "rooms" you can be a part of such as "first time flippers", flippers in "elementary", and "middle school". I think this is a great starting place for people seeking to "flip" and feel unsure about how to get started.

  •  
    This incredibly daring teacher (not everyone feels safe flipping his/her classroom) records her lessons OUTSIDE of class, loads them into iTunes, and assigns those lessons as HW. When students arrive to class, it's application time! Her AP students are less stressed and very focused in their studies.
