Does flipped instruction work? More teachers have flipped their classrooms -- creating instructional videos for students and spending class time on practice. However, the strategy has potential drawbacks as well as benefits, some say. "Everyone initially thought that [flipping] was an innovative way [to teach] because we're so rooted in this idea that students don't like homework," said chemistry teacher Ramsey Musallam. "However, when you step back a little bit, what you're looking at is simply a time-shifting tool that is grounded in the same didactic, lecture-based philosophy."
