Canvas invited me to write for their blog!
Here it is. No, that is not a photo of me. For the record, there is no mention of Canvas in this book.

This is a short book. Even shorter than their initial release Flip Your Classroom which itself was short.

There is more of the rationale and description for flipped learning, which is OK but I found a touch unneeded as chances are if your grabbing this you probably already have this information. The book gives examples of what other Social Studies teachers are up to, which is useful to begin crafting your own ideas. However, the authors take pains to state the "worst thing you could do is try to do everything in this book", meaning use the ideas here to create your own program that suits you and your context. Though I see merit in this, I also feel I need a little more advice for how to get from "here" to "there". Assessment is a big deal for me, and I feel this wasn't covered as well as I'd like. Also, being outside the US system rendered several examples and descriptions near obsolete.

I'm glad I read this, its a starting point that engenders thought. But I still don't feel quite armed enough to embark on this change. More research and careful consideration will be required.

Let me begin by saying that I am a fan of what Jonathan Bergmann and Aaron Sams have achieved with Flipped Learning. However, I am rather underwhelmed with their book, Flipped Learning for Social Studies Instruction . While it was a good book, it could have been a great book. Let me explain. Read more

I’ve had a very negative attitude towards flipped learning based on prior experience as a student where the concept was not utilized correctly. This book helped reframe my perspective and gave me a clearer understanding of how I could one day implement flipped learning successfully into my own classroom.
