Robert Talbert is an Associate Professor in the Mathematics Department at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan USA. He was previously on the faculty at Bethel College (Indiana) and Franklin College. He holds a B.S. degree in Mathematics from Tennessee Technological University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics from Vanderbilt University. Robert first implemented flipped learning in a computer programming course in 2008 after reading about its use in software engineering. Since then, he has converted courses in Calculus, Introduction to Proof, Linear Algebra, and Discrete Structures to flipped designs. He is particularly interested in how flipped learning can solve pedagogical problems in the STEM disciplines related to concept acquisition and self-regulated learning behaviors.

Ramsey Musallam: As a science teacher, camp director, and instructional coach, Musallam's mission is to help foster inquiry-based learning environments fueled by student curiosity. He believes that when questions are placed before teacher voice, rich and responsive learning cycles can occur in any context. Technology can be a strategic partner in this process.

Pete Whiting got interested with Flipped Learning when a student was out sick and he started making videos for her. And when he realized what was good for her was good for all of his students, he was hooked. Now, five years later he is considered one of the gurus in bringing flipped learning and gamification together. Pete teaches secondary science in Australia.

Martha Ramirez holds an MA degree in Education with an emphasis in Bilingualism and Technology at Unversidad de Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. Martha is a FLGI Master Teacher and a Flipped Learning trainer who specializes in the application of the In-Class Flip.

He earned his bachelor's degree from Ashland University and his Master's degree from American College of Education. Dan has written about flipped learning for Edutopia as well as the Association for Middle Level Education. His instructional methods in social studies and RLA have been highlighted in Jon Bergmann's book, Flipped Learning for Social Studies Instruction. Dan has developed a project-based learning environment that allows students to take charge of their learning with every unit of study. His students are employing 21st century skills throughout their entire lessons.

Enoch Ng teaches at the Boon Lay Garden Primary School in Singapore. He has implemented Flipped Learning since 2013 and has incorporated inquiry and peer instruction for his elementary students.

David Jakes taught high school biology for 15 years and was an administrator for 12 years.  His 27 years in education taught him a great deal about the organization of schools and how schools could serve their community by supporting the growth and development of children. As an educator, David saw schools as something that should constantly be in motion, always looking forward and learning, and moving in a direction that created both a contemporary and compelling education for students.

Peter PacconePeter is a San Marino High School social studies teacher with 30 years of teaching experience. As a fan of flipping, he periodically writes and/or presents on this topic. Recently, he described one of his better flipped learning lessons during a PBS Learning Media webinar presentation. Peter is currently looking to interview other teachers who flip. His hope with these interviews, to highlight the best flipped learning lesson plans of these teachers and then to have those interviews posted to the FLGI website for others to use.

Katie Lanier journey with flipped learning began in 2011 while searching for a way to meet the needs of struggling and frustrated physics students. By flipping physics class she was able to provide the time to include inquiry and project-based learning as part of the experience which eventually became a legacy course which challenges students to apply their science knowledge to serve the school community. She is excited to be included in this initiative as her goal is to help as many teachers as possible create an engaging classroom that nurtures and challenges students. Flipping her class pushed her to pursue an M.S in instructional media and an administrative certification. In 2013, she was selected as the Allen Independent School District Secondary Teacher of the Year. She enjoys sharing her experiences through twitter, training, her blog, Learning Opportunities, and has presented at state and national conferences including STAT, TAGT and FlipCon.

Cara Johnson has been an educator at Allen High School since 2009. She taught Biology and Anatomy and Physiology and, in 2015, took on a new role as the High School Science Instructional Specialist. Cara began her flipped classroom journey in 2010. After attending FlipCon14, Cara moved her flipped 101 course to a flipped-mastery course. With flipped-mastery, students guide their own learning, develop an in-depth understanding of the content, and acquired the skills that enabled them to be independent learners, such as time management, organization, and research tools in order to pursue their curiosity. Cara has presented her flipped mastery learning methods at numerous conferences include FlipCon15, FlipConTX and FlipCon16. In her new role, Cara has the opportunity to help 47 high school science teachers plan and implement their curriculum and using flipped class and mastery learning strategies.

I found the course very worth the time it took me to go through all of the modules. Even though I was already familiar with much of the material, I still learned (or relearned) something from every one of them. The wide range of pedagogies and strategies discussed which can (and should) be used under the meta-strategy of flipped learning was terrific. My future students should benefit greatly from me experiencing this course.

Absolutely interesting; the idea of considering flipping as a metastrategy for other teaching methods is great as it gives the opportunity to learn about them and 'blend' them into your teaching. What I would suggest is adding examples of what actually happens in class; you could add additional videos for those who want to 'see' a method put into practice (for example I found the module on gamification and flipping rather theoretical). All in all thanks for all this 'food for thought' and for inspiring teachers!

I have really enjoyed the course and have learnt a great deal from it. I have really liked how the units have been arranged and how it is all organised. One thing I have really appreciated is the time to complete it. I have had the year subscription as I knew I would struggle to complete it within 3 months based on my situation here. The presenters used are of high quality and have provided some excellent tips. Also I have liked the way there is a forum at the end of each section. This is an area I have needed to develop and has helped me do that.

This course truly takes one deeper into flipped learning by building on the fact that a flipped classroom enables a teacher to implement a wide variety of other active learning methods. Experts in their fields shared their best practices related to a wide range of strategies, everything from the in-class flip, to gamification to Socratic seminars. The theory and research behind flipped learning was coupled with actionable items that any teacher could implement immediately.

This is has provided me with many resources to further explore the strategies in more detail to use in my context (higher ed). The course was really valuable.
