2. My thoughts on this article:

2.1. I completely agree with the hesitation the author of this article had about flipping their classroom. I, myself, would be very fearful at first because I am used to the way I do things now and I find it to be successful the way it is. I am curious to see, however, what flipping a few subjects would do in my classroom.

3. Stepping Back from an Old Model

3.1. School has been the same way for many years

3.2. don't want to give up lecture time

3.3. teachers like being the center of attention and enjoyed engaging a whole group of students

3.4. flipping would mean giving up control of the learning of the students
