Flipped Learning, Educator Empowerment, and Dreams About Guy's Grocery Games Rip-Offs What if the problem isn't lecture, but it's the model? In this episode of "The Lecture Is Dead Podcast," hosts Joe Wolff and Ryan Kochevar sit down with instructional technology veteran Michael Wesely to unpack what flipped learning really looks like beyond “videos for homework.” With 28 years of experience and a passion for creativity and student voice, Michael shares how educators can use short, strategic videos to reclaim class time, reduce repetition, and shift from “sage on the stage” to facilitator of deeper learning. The conversation explores instructional risk-taking, supportive leadership, post-pandemic realities, and why so many teachers are burning out. It’s a candid, energizing look at how to increase engagement, amplify student voices, and build sustainable teaching practices — without abandoning what works. In This Episode Misconceptions about flipped classrooms and where they come from The role of supportive leadership and how to garner buy-in from skeptics How to free students from sitting in chairs listening to a lecture without letting them get in trouble Guests Michael Wesely — Instructional Technology Specialist at Virginia Beach City Public Schools Michael helps teachers turn classrooms into places where curiosity and innovation flow thanks to empowered students and educators alike. To support other educators, Michael makes it his mission to share what he knows at conferences all over his district, state, and country. About the Podcast Two former educators. One big question: If the lecture is dead, what comes next? A bi-weekly podcast on reimagining teaching as active, creative, and human.

"I'm no longer yelling at them from the side of the pool as a coach. Do this, do that. I'm swimming along with them and it was the switch of becoming a sage on the stage to a facilitator."
