The New “Flip Your Classroom” book by John Bergmann and Aaron Sams is loaded with experienced insights, ideas, and lessons learned. I first came across John Bergmann’s work when I wrote “7 Stories From Educators About Teaching In The Flipped Classroom” last fall. What I did not know at that time was that he had won the Presidential Award for Excellence for Math and Science Teaching in 2002 and was named semifinalist for the Colorado Teacher of the Year in 2010. Aaron Sams also received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching, in 2009. Together, Aaron and John recently created the flippedclassroom.org social network, and this year they have published, “Flip Your Classroom: Reach Every Student in Every Class Every Day”. These guys are flipped classroom rock stars (although I think they would probably cringe at that label)!

I am a big fan of Bergmann and Sams video tutorials for Chemistry and have been using them in my classes. I have just created a few of my own also, but need to research software that I can use to make it more pleasing and useful to the viewer. I am researching the flipped classroom and hope to pilot some lessons/units this upcoming school year.
It seems like a lot of what we do in class follows the theme of a flipped classroom. The lesson is presented in a video or through readings and then we use our synchromous time to answer questions that arose from our learning. Do you find that this is often the case for online learning?
