Reflection on Flipped Classroom

 On reflection I think that the flipped classroom is an interesting idea if you want to do learning that is largely based on presentation. You use presentation outside of the classroom. Then you do your understanding of the presentation and further steps from the presentation inside the classroom. I think it is a step forward.But while we see the benefits of creating flipped classroom we also have to deal with the fact that some educators will never get to this stage, simply because to them tradition may be the mightiest force. A lot of them are not excited about the idea that they might have to move out of their comfort zone.  Some educators just do not know how to make the transition from a lecture-based classroom to one that includes more student-centered activities.  As an educator becoming a facilitator and tour guide of learning possibilities and  offering these possibilities to the learners and then getting out of the way  makes more sense than be forever standing in front of the class acting as if I know it all.
