The “Flipped School”: Should We Do It?

What is a "flipped course" or a "flipped school"?  The basic idea of a flipped course is to change the order of instruction.  In a flipped course, the student "views" the lecture at home before the class.  Then, during classtime, the students and instructor complete the homework in class.  To accomplish this requires a dramatic rethinking of the use of technology.  The teacher, the student, and the school must focus on how to integrate technology into the lessons and be open to change.
