I'm planning to incorporate instructional video into my teaching this year, and I so appreciate the thinking you've shared here. It's clear that you have a very thoughtful and reflective practice.

That is so true.most people who look at flipping casually fall into that trap. After my year I have to say i will continue but with a more blended approach. I have a lot of improving to do.

I also am fairly adept at properly utilizing technology such as as for formative assessment.
