Flipped Learning: Going Beyond the Obvious | The Thinking Stick | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"...I'm a big believer in the "Flipped Approach" not because it's new, it isn't, not because it's about lecture...because it isn't, but because it has educators talking and thinking about new ways of teaching....and that is aways positive...

Why can't, what we'll call a flipped approach, move to include ownership of learning for the students?

...To me the flipped approach is about thinking deeply about how we use the time we have with students. Maybe "flipped" is the wrong word...but it's the word of the moment so if that's what it takes to create change that's what I'll use.

I constantly talk about one simple question that everyone should be asking themselves:

What is the reason we get together face to face?"

A different view on a "flipped classroom" and well worth the read.
