Transformative Teaching in the 21st Century Classroom

The article at http://plpnetwork.com/2012/10/08/flip-love-affair/ really resonates with me. Finally, someone gets it and isn't afraid to let students take control for their own educational future.

The first thing that struck a chord in this article was the statement " It simply didn’t produce the tranformative learning experience I knew I wanted for my students.  I imagined the flipped classroom as a stepping stone to a fully realized inquiry/Problem Based Learning classroom. And the flip’s gradual disappearance from our learning space hasn’t been a conscious decision: it’s simply a casualty of  our progression from a teacher-centred classroom to a student-centred one."
