I love this strategy. It can be done for every subject in the classroom. A teacher can start small with a subject that is not essential such as art. I think that if you have a very traditional classroom, the flipped classroom strategy would create tutorial resources for your students. A video seems to be part of every lesson; archive it for review later!
I think internet access might be the biggest barrier to overcome. Access is not as big an issue as it was 20 years ago. Every teacher needs to get to know their students. The teacher will then be able to identify the students who would need time at the end or beginning of school to access the internet. This leads to another part of the flipped classroom strategy--information does not have to be on the internet. Students could be required to read something in print. If the school does not have a classroom management system such as Blackboard, use the teacher website to post a link to the teacher's YouTube channel. Teach students about the "favorites" tool on computers for speedy access.
