So I was not able to attend class on Tuesday night; therefore I taught myself what Professor Ross went over in class. Basically I experienced flipped classroom first hand with doing these assignments. I went through the tutorial and answered the questions on there and also asked a question for anyone in the class to answer. Then I was able to look over lessons and websites where different teachers were incorporating flipped learning in their classrooms. I was able to encounter the pros and cons of a flipped classroom. After teaching myself, I was a bit confused on the next assignment with using Sophia and creating my tutorial for a lesson using a flipped classroom. However I was able to email Professor Ross for some clarification and I was shortly on my way. Since I directly experienced flipped learning I think it may be a good idea to use because it allows students to work at whatever pace they want. It also allows them to play back the videos they watched or even pause them when they need to write notes on it. The downfall of flipped learning would be that students may get confused by something and there isn't the teacher right there to assist them which can be frustrating. I do think it would be fun to try flipped learning in the classroom because it's a new approach to teaching and the different learners may appreciate more than a boring, old lecture!
View this video to see how a flipped classroom may be a good idea!!

Your Flipped Project is awesome. You have a nice choice of videos and great questions for students to answer after watching the videos. Nice job!
