I found this session's content extremely interesting and innovative. Starting with "flipped classrooms" , I can absolutely see the benefits of having students do their "lecture" at home in preparation for the next class. A few pitfalls might be lack of internet at home and choosing a curriculum that has the flipped model resources already in place. I am curious if large curriculum companies have already started using the flipping strategies? I will have to look into that. Also, I wonder how teachers handle it when students do not do their lecture homework when they come to class the next day? On the other hand, there are so many positives including student engagement and the potential for project and

I have had many of the same concerns about a flipped classroom that you do. I wonder if you try it out with one unit, and see how it goes. Then maybe you'll have the answer to many of your questions. As far as not doing homework, maybe they will be more inclined to complete the homework at home if it is more engaging for them? Maybe they won't like not being a part of what is happening in class since they didn't do any of the homework? I'm not sure what to do about students not having access to the internet. I'm guessing though that if you problem shoot this with each student then it won't become an issue. I think it is definitely worth trying for at least one unit and see how it goes.

Yes, I am going to try and dig through some of the resources to see if I can find a good fit as my first attempt.

Seems like internet access would be a huge problem especially for low income schools. Even if one child doesn't have access, that could bring the whole thing down.

Agreed, I would say I still have about 10-15% each year without internet access at home.

I have never heard of a curriculum company using the split strategy. I think I would have done better in high school if my teachers used this sort of teaching. However, I agree, if students don't have internet access then they would be losing out on the core content. I think that teacher would have to allow a window for students to view the video in class or at a different period.
