The Flipped Classroom

This is the stuff!  Please watch this video (and pass it on) and gain an understanding about providing an individual learning experience, where students are in charge of their own proof of learning.  To do this, it means:

• taking time to create – teacher created content
• reworking what you know of as “the text book”
• taking time to distribute to any number of student personally owned devices
• you are not ditching direct instruction (lecture).  you are re prioritizing it for homework. you are archiving it for on demand access.
• you are giving your students a voice

I’ve been talking about this with as many folks as possible.  This concept was captured in a flurry of articles by Dan Pink and many others about Karl Fisch’s classroom (Did You Know – 1.0).  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/businessclub/7996379/Daniel-Pinks-Think-Tank-Flip-thinking-the-new-buzz-word-sweeping-the-US.html
