This post is an account of a day in Joel Speranza's classroom. Each student works at their own pace through videos and lessons shared in OneNote, while the teacher walks around, looks at their work, and sometimes organizes groups to work together on the board. I think this would be very hard for most teachers (including me) who are most at home when explaining something to a group. I'm not sure how I would feel about it as a student - anything would be better than listening to the teacher explaining something to everyone at once, but I wouldn't like him peering over my shoulder and looking at what I'm doing. Also, I personally would rather be working on projects rather than just working through content.  Via Aaron Davis, who asks whether it can be used in other subject areas, such as English.
