The Flipped Classroom in Low Socioeconomic Schools

After talking with some colleges about teaching strategies for the next term, specifically for the English classroom, the concept of flipped learning came up. Now this is something that I have heard of, but have always been really apprehensive about because of the low socioeconomic area I teach in and the lack of internet access students have.

Even still, I had a couple of ideas about implementing it that I wanted to run by you all. At my school we use text dependant questioning (a reading strategy that asks questions about inference, author purpose, key details, grammar), and I think this could be key. For example, setting students essentially a worksheet that is accessed from home over the weekend, even printed, and spending a lesson unpacking, checking for understanding, and discussing. I feel as though something like this would allow for deeper learning experiences in the classroom, and would allow students to learn through peer/class discussion.

Just wanted to hear your thoughts on if you have used a flipped learning environment, struggles and successes, and how this has failed in Low socioeconomic schools.

Thanks all in advance :)
