Interesting article documenting the reasons why one teacher drifted away from 'the flip' in her classroom. A 'flipped classroom', recall, is one where videos are assigned for viewing as homework, while class time is used for discussions and project work. It's a good idea - except that the videos are redundant. Shelly Wright writes, "As this new way of learning played out over time, my students found they didn't need me to locate or create videos for them. Instead, they learned how to learn, and they were able to find their own resources. For me, this was a much more important skill than following my directions or using the resources I told them to use."
