Karl Fisch is enjoying a burst of fame because of this article by Daniel Pink in the Telegraph a week or so ago. He is given credit for flipping teachjing on its head - "he uploads his lectures to YouTube for his students to watch at home at night, then gets them to apply the concepts in class by day." Lecture at home, homework in the classroom. "Call it the Fisch Flip," writes Pink. To his credit, Fisch puts the idea strictly in context and writes, "other folks are doing this also and, frankly, most of them are doing it better than I am... two of the teachers I know that have done the most work in this area are Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams – you might check out some of their work." Fisch also links to a series of posts related to the endeavour. I think Fisch strikes exactly the right note with his response, and exudes class in the way he does it. Well done.
