Why I Flipped my Classroom-Video Analysis

This teacher teaches math content. She found that she wasn't differentiating enough to meet the needs of all learners. She decided that she was up presenting information more than she should be and wanted a change in her classroom. She "flipped" her classroom which means that you give the students the information needed to succeed in class prior to the class so that the instruction is done outside the classroom through web casts or videos that the students can watch over and over on their own. That way when they come into the classroom they are applying what they have learned. The teacher then can work with all leveled students in a more one-on-one chance. I am not sure how this concept would work in young grades in elementary school. I could see this concept working well in middle or high school with parents who are involved and check to make sure their children are doing their homework. I am not sure this type of teaching would go over well in a low-income area because not every family would have a computer or the means for students to get the time outside of the school hours to teach themselves. I would be interested to know this teachers demographics, grade level, and area of which she is working. I think you could incorporate concepts of this "flipping" idea into my classroom but it wouldn't be able to be video or Internet based because many of my students don't have computers at home. I also have many students who are caregivers to their younger siblings when they get home because their parents are working most of the time.
