Flipping the Classroom

Having observed many traditional classrooms lately, I am more and more convinced that Flipping the Classroom is the way of the future.  Many districts are piloting this instructional technique and it will be interesting to see the results next year....will administrators ask more and more teachers to send video (via ipads and other devices) home with the students and require the worksheet and problem-solving to happen at school? 

It only makes sense that the teacher should be on hand to help solve the problems and assist with the homework instead of the other way around.  It's no wonder children struggle with homework when they don't have the instruction to refer to or the master teacher available.
