Week 2 of the 4C's class I found to be useful. I have been interested in flipped instruction for quite some time, and this forced me to spend some time reviewing it. I like the concept in general, but have some worries and concerns. Biggest concern for me is whether my actual students would do the homework of viewing the video clips. My students typically rarely do homework, so this could be a problem. Perhaps watching a video clip would grab their interest better.
I do like the idea of students doing learning outside the classroom. It would allow basic introduction of material done at home, and the class time can be for practice and application. It also would allow for differentiation to take place easier.
I have begun the slow process of creating clips for both my engineering class and robotics class.
As you know there is no official way to flip instruction, so your modifications based on what you know will work best in your room is the way to go. Freeing class time by using your home produced catalog may prove to be a valuable use of time.
