Flipped Classroom

I have had the opportunity to not only attend PD on the Flipped Classroom, but also see it in action with Ashley Hunter at MMS.  If I were still a regular classroom teacher, I believe this is a model I would use when teaching certain topics in Math (but not all).  Some of the benefits I perceive from this model are:

1.)  The teachers has more time to work on the skill with the students directly in the classroom because part of the  learning/instruction is taking place during homework time.
2.) Students (may) be more motivated to watch a short video and complete a couple problems, than complete a work page of 20 for homework.
3.) Teachers and students are making good use of technology through this model.
4.) Parents could watch the video and know what is being taught in the classroom.  Many parents would prefer a video over reading the textbook.
5.) Students Centered  NOT Teacher Centered

Here is a great video on the flipped classroom...
