Classroom Flipping

I'm currently taking my 2nd PLP online course.  The first one - with Jennifer Bloomingdale was great - just a little too short.

"Beyond the Flipped Classroom: Flipped Mastery" is being run by the pioneer of flipping, Jon Bergmann, author of "Flip your Classroom".  For less than $20 the book is definitely worth the read.  I don't anticipate that I'll be introducing flipped mastery in my classroom but I see so much merit in many of the ideas presented, most notably, having students complete the lower levels of Bloom's Taxonomy (Knowledge & Understanding) at home - because it's the easier stuff.  The analysis, synthesis, creation and evaluation, gets done in class.

What do you think - have you tried flipping your classroom?  Are you hooked or just like getting your feet wet?

Personally I can't imagine adopting only ONE major teaching method and using that my entire career - but that's just me!
