Flipping Your Classroom

Here's a cool idea for education that I'd like to know more about: flipping your classroom. This means doing what is usually assigned for homework in the classroom, and having students do at home what is usually done in class. It stems from two places, as far as I can tell: the ability we have, in this web 2.0 world, to easily distribute audio/visual messages, and the typical, not necessarily positive implications of assigning homework. The link below leads to Karl Fisch's blog on the subject, where he explains his rationale, process, and results in teaching flipped classroom math.
