The flip: Classwork at home, homework in class - The Washington Post
Jonathan Bergmann from "flipped classroom" spoke last week in Harvard. This week, there is a Washington Post article on the concept which is certainly gaining momentum.
I had a great conversation with Jonathan about the things that people mistakenly think about the flipped classroom. He insists that it is "NOT" about just video but about UDL and reaching every learner. He also says that students really like videos made in their own teacher's voice. (Which would counter claims that all the videos should be made for teachers.) This is a great article. Jonathan's book is coming out in June. -
