I can see how digitized direct instruction at home can help both students and families. Digital lecture and note taking at home makes student homework an independent activity, freeing up the parents from helping students in subjects they may not have time for, or understand. This type of instruction also frees up classroom time to be used for hands on learning, higher order thinking, and more time to help struggling students. Not having access to technology outside of the classroom is what I see as the biggest hurdle, but I think loaner computers, or giving students time in the school computer lab each morning are a couple of possible solutions.
I am interested in starting with math for flipped instruction in my classroom. I purchased a book by Johnathan Bergmann called Flipped Learning for Math Instruction, I haven't received it yet, but am looking forward to reading it when I do.
Below are a couple of videos on flipped classrooms and their success with it.
