Reverse instruction is a hot news topic these days. Here's 15 news stories from the last month about flipping the classroom.

There are news stories and web articles about reverse instruction, or ‘flipping the classroom’, published just about every day lately. Here’s 15 news stories from the last 4 weeks focused on this instructional technology phenomenon. Many of these articles mention ‘the flip' in their title (and for every one of these, there have been one or two additional articles that discuss the concept).

It's exciting to me to see this high level of interest in this topic, since I'll be presenting on the subject at the Campus Technology 2012 Conference in Boston in July in my session, “Flipping the Classroom – Succeeding With Reverse Instruction”. I hope I'll be seeing some of you there!

  6. My pleasure Mitchell – I’m glad this video was an incentive to you. The momentum just keeps on building for implementing the flip in high schools and colleges, as well as younger grades. My recommendation is to pick up the new brief, but information packed “Flip Your Classroom” book by John Bergmann and Aaron Sams and give it a read (and consider coming back from our next online Flipped Classroom Workshop in October!)

  7. Thanks for the fuel to keep me going. I have been researching this model in order to implement it into my classroom in the fall (2 weeks). We have a 1:1 macbook initiative this year for the first time with 6th graders. I am planning to intergrate methods of the flip throughout the year, and using Digital tic -tac-toe boards for differentiated projects as the students become more comfortable with the tech tools. I am debating whether to pilot a section using mastery learning in the final two units of the year after our state testing to see if that method would be something I would like to explore and implement further. This really gives me that much more confidence and excitement in this model. Any thoughts back would be greatly appreciated!

Half of the reason is because of writer’s block, another half because school is crazy, and a third half because of some family issues that came up unexpectedly. I opened up my blog a few times with intention to write, but I could not get anything to form. To Flip Or Not Flip? To flip or not to flip? Last week, I read an interesting blog post by Shelley Blake-Plock titled ”The Problem with TED ed.” It got me thinking about the flipped classroom model and how it is being defined. […]
