[] This illustrates, has catchy phrases and gives a brief history of how recently the flipped classroom has become a new wave. It also has data to help stake holder buy in.

Chp. 2 quote - p. 17 "I can't force someone to learn - they have to accept that responsibility for themselves. This method allows them to clearly see that - and gives them a structured environment that ensures success."

Every teacher knows this, and if you were to tell a parent this, I feel they would have a hard time disagreeing, because they most likely have the same problem at home. I hope when I try the flipped learning, this will be true.

It said a couple times in the chapter that teachers come in and feel like they are performing and I remember a colleague saying the same thing. In LOTE I have a feeling though since we need to set up activities for listening, reading, speaking and writing, we might still feel like we are performing in a flipped classroom.

Chp. 3 quote - p. 28 title "Flipping Allows for Real Differentiation" I love how the word real is added on here. A lot of teachers, including myself, try, but aren't doing "real" differentiation for a variety of reasons, time constraints, number of students, lack of know how, ... If you are able to walk around and work 1/1 with every student and give them the individualized help they need (or lack thereof), and they are working at their own pace, getting done what they can do, that is diffentiation.


 * my favorite is flipping allows for real differentiation and there are some others that I feel are really sub categories to this (flipping helps students of all abilities to excel and flipping helps struggling students) - I touched on this earlier
 * flipping helps busy students - I already give hw for the week ahead of time for busy students so they can manage their schedules accordingly. This is a nice addition.
 * Flipping allows teachers to know their students better - who doesn't want a better relationship w/their students, we all went into education b/c we like to work w/youth, but this also helps us w/yet again, differentiation
 * flipping is a great technique for absent teachers - this is great for LOTE teachers b/c there is such a shortage for subs in our area
 * What might be some challenges you will encounter? How do you plan to address them? If you can identify a challenge but not a solution (yet) post the challenge and seek help from the group. Feel free to use the "Crowd Source" (CS)
 * technology issues - tech camp will hopefully help
 * time to make videos and come up with other ideas since flipped learning isn't always about videos - ? and collaborations
