Flipping the Classroom

This video builds upon the TedTalk by Paul Andersen about flipping the classroom and being able to meet the learning need of students.

This teacher started this "flipping" process by recording lectures for kids who missed class, and that has grown so much so that he, as a teacher, is able to better teach his students during class time while students learn at home at their own pace.

So far, this teacher has seen decreased failure rates, and kids are learning how to better access information and process that information in meaningful ways, possibly even improving students' problem solving skills.

Even though there isn't any specific mention of technology in this video, the idea of flipping the classroom utilizes the power of the network, allowing teachers and students to better ineract iwth each other, and students are even better equipped to learn from each other.
