The Life and Death of Flipped Classroom? But I just got started!

I just came across this article from a Tweet by Kristin Daniels (tech integration specialist @ Stillwater).  The title gave me a bit of a pause, so naturally I had to read it.

The article is written by Troy Cockrum, host of EdReach's show, Flipped Learning.

He makes the following points:

  • "There are so many different iterations, it is difficult to pin down what is and what is not Flipped Learning."
  • Flipped Learning "is now more accurately the flip of Bloom's Taxonomy (rather than the flip of homework and lecture as commonly thought)
  • "It is not what defines me or my class."
  • "It is not the only method/technique/tool that I use."
  • "But, most importantly, Flipped Learning causes me to re-evaluate every lesson I do to see if there is a better way."
So, Mr.Cockrum doesn't believe the Flipped Classroom has died, but the definition of flipped learning is evolving.
