I think the Flipped Classroom is a GREAT way to get the most out of the resources teachers have. This gives students access to the teacher when they need them! Todd's strategy is interesting and I think it is an improved model or interpretation of the Flipped Classroom trend. I think his strategy of keeping instructional videos to about six minutes is a great way to keep students engaged and convey the information without being repetitive. Because the videos are short, he can provide one example and the students can re-watch the video if they need clarification.
I would ask Todd what results he has gained from flipping his classroom. It is clearly a great strategy, but I wonder if there was any dramatic increase in student grades.
After viewing this tutorial I would be more inclined to flip my classroom. I think it is an amazing strategy and I am so happy I learned about the Flipped Classroom today!
Teachers who are interested in this often start out by flipping one lesson. Its a great way to start and grow into it.
