Here's a nice infographic concerning flipped classrooms. I'm still on the fence on this issue. I see the benefits for students and this infographic has some very convincing statistics. However, I also work with many students whose Internet access is sketchy at best. If they didn't have access to our school library, they wouldn't have Internet access at all. How does this idea then really benefit them? What about the kids who aren't doing homework now--what would be the incentive for them to watch a video before class?
And I work with enough teachers who don't have the technology skills to put together videos 3-5 times a week. I know they need to learn this skill but I also know of many who won't, can't or just don't want to give up the time. I guess until teachers shift their mindset to seeing the benefits of this typ of instruction, changes will not happen.
But take a look at this infographic. It's got some very compelling statistics--makes one pause to think.
