I really enjoyed looking at the flipped classroom website. Flipped learning is something I have heard about, read about, and even discussed with fellow colleagues who have tried it. It has always felt like something that would take more time on my end (recording a lecture beforehand), but the site’s information makes it seem more feasible.
I do really like the idea of saving the teaching time for home, and saving class time for collaboration and group work. I would imagine that student interest would increase (more exciting to watch a video at home than do “homework” at home…)I could see myself starting small, by posting a few short videos per week. I do wonder though about: students who do not watch the video, and students that have questions during the video. Will they remember to ask me the question the next day? I was so very interested to watch the video and learn about CBL. I love the similarities to PBL, yet how it is based around a core challenge. I also really excited to see a CBL project in action. It is clear that the students were interested and engaged in the lesson, and I love how each child focused on a specific Guided question and quided activity. My school does not “do” PBL, but I would be interested to see my students try this. I bet I would be amazed at what they came up with!

I absolutely agree with your concerns about students who do not participate in the flipped learning. I think in classrooms where students are self-directed, it would work beautifully. The reality is, many kids do nothing outside of class time. What happens then? I do like the idea you suggested about starting very slowly though.
