The Flipped Classroom

Many teachers are using the concept of a Flipped Classroom to meet the needs of their students in the classrooms.  Students view the concept of the lesson prior to coming to class  & during class time with the teacher, students are able to apply their learning in various ways.  This allows the teacher to meet with students on an individual basis and provide assistance at each student's level and need.  What do you think?  Is a Flipped Classroom something you would be willing to try?
