I think the flipped classroom is a great idea and way to get all students, of all abilities levels, involved and engaged in the classroom. By engaging with students via classroom activities, grouping activities, and labs, teachers can involve all students in a lesson. And instead of having the traditional homework, students can home and watch a video, podcast, or PowerPoint of the lesson that was taught during the day. For students who do not have internet access or a computer, the teacher can offer an alternative assignment or a print out of the PowerPoint lesson
I firmly believe the flipped classroom works and is a wonderful strategy, it can be used and implemented at any school and with any group of students. However, I do believe that teachers need to receive professional development on how-to strategies of implementing the flipped classroom, especially those teachers who are intimidated and do not like change.
