Flipped Classroom, Part I

For the un-initiated, flipping one's classroom essentially involves assigning instructional lectures to students for homework, and facilitating homework during class time.  This technique has several advantages and disadvantages. What if students don't have access to technology at home? What if they don't view your video tutorials for homework?  On the other hand, flipping one's instruction would allow the teacher to facilitate student learning as a "guide on the side" rather than a "sage on the stage."  Students could work in collaborative groups at a pace that encourages mastery.  See below for some blog posts and YouTube videos about what the Flipped Classroom is...and what it isn't.
