Flipped Classroom

I went to a Summer Conference and was fascinated about the idea of a flipped classroom.  This would be so awesome for every grade!  What it is is the student will do their homework at school (where they have help) and watch the short "lectures" at home or wherever their mobile device will let them.  The "lectures" are a minute to minute and a half per grade level, so depending on what grade I teach, that's how long they'll be.  It's a lot of work for the teacher, but it pays off in having the student actually learn what they need in their own time.  This is great for our ELL learners that need the ability to stop and rewind or pause and then restart the lecture.  Any of the students can watch as many times as they need in order to understand and parents can watch along with their students, so they can see how and what I am teaching!  I think this will go really well in my classroom and I'm looking forward to posting some videos!
