Blended learning combines online digital media and tools with traditional classroom methods. It allows students some control over time, place, path, and/or pace of their learning. The document discusses various models of blended learning including station rotation, lab rotation, flipped classroom, and flex models. It also outlines benefits like personalized and collaborative learning. Tools that can enable blended learning approaches include learning management systems, collaborative software, blogs, screencasting, and video resources.

BLENDED LEARNING Sheila Majask Dakota High School 9GC
What is Blended Learning? • A formal education program in which a student learns – at least in part – through online delivery of instruction and content, with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or pace. - Clayton Christensen Institute

The goal of blended learning is to make student learning…. 1.More personalized 2.More engaging 3.More collaborative
Blended Learning is not the same as technology integration • Blended learning is not about the technology (though it is a required tool) • Blended learning is about instructional design • In BL, students have some control of pace of learning and they interact and collaborate in a digital environment
10 Benefits of Blended Learning • Student engagement • Streamlined evaluations • Better communication • 24/7 accessibility • Collaboration • Personalized learning • Improved efficiency • Tracking and reporting • Save money • Save time
MODELS OF BLENDED LEARNING
Models as defined by the Christenson Institute
Blended Learning Models Explained
Station- Rotation Model • Within a course, students rotate at fixed points in time between different learning stations • At least one is an online learning station • Students rotate through all of the stations • Other stations might include activities such as:  Small-group or full-class instruction  Group projects  Individual tutoring  Pencil-and-paper assignments www.christenseninstitute.org www.dreambox.com
Lab- Rotation Model • Students rotate at fixed points in time between a classroom and computer lab • Students learn predominantly online • The classroom is generally reserved for other learning activities www.christenseninstitute.org www.dreambox.com
Flipped Classroom Model • Technology is used to reverse the traditional role of classroom time • Classroom time is used to:  Encourage individualized  Provide one-on-one help to students  Improve student-teacher interaction  Application of learned content • While the instructional or teachable content is still available in class • Struggling students to learn at their own pace because content is accessed outside of class • Homework is now done in class where students can seek the help of the teacher www.christenseninstitute.org www.dreambox.com
Flex Model • Online learning forms the backbone of a student's learning • Students are able to move flexibly through different learning modalities with the goal of optimizing their learning experience based on their specific needs. • Each student in essence has a customized, fluid schedule among learning modalities. • The teacher is on-site, and the teacher or other adults provide face-to-face support on a flexible and adaptive as-needed basis through activities such as small-group instruction, group projects, and individual tutoring . • Some implementations have substantial face-to-face support, and others have minimal. www.christenseninstitute.org www.dreambox.com
TRANSFORMING YOUR TEACHING
Making the Shift • Start small – Take one lesson or activity and blend it – Try out one web tool that will enhance your lesson • Enlist the help of you colleagues – they may already be blending • Enlist the help of your students - they can help! • Be brave! Have a growth mindset! https://youtu.be/ElVUqv0v1EE

LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (LMS) Also known as aVLE –Virtual Learning Environment
What is a learning managemen t system? • A learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of electronic educational technology (also called e-learning) education courses or training programs. • Features of many learning management systems:  Discussion Boards  Collaboration Spaces  AssessmentTools  DigitalAssignment Submissions
Blackboard Learn * provided by the MISD • The most comprehensive Learning Management System around - the “Cadillac” of LMSs • Contains the most features:  Discussion boards  Digital assignment submission  Plagiarism checker  Group collaboration area  Adaptive release of assignments  Online and mobile assessments • Students will use Blackboard (or something similar) in college and the workforce. • Purchased and supported by the MISD • Training available
Edmodo *Free Online Tool • Learning Management System • Private environment (only you and your students can see it). They join with a unique classroom code • Facebook like interface • What can you do?  Post documents/lessons  Have students complete surveys  Post a question or writing prompt and have students respond  Connect with other educators and share and save resources •

COLLABORATIVE SPACES
Benefits of Collaboration • High Achievement - Collaborative learning promotes high achievement as well as personal and social development • Motivation – Collaborative learning increases the understanding of content and provides greater motivation to stay on task • Independent Learners –Team leaders – Collaborative learning helps students actively construct content, take responsibility for their work, and resolve group conflicts • Critical Thinking – collaborative learning enhances critical thinking as it allows students to discuss, clarify, and evaluate ideas • Higher OrderThinking – Collaborative groups are characterized by shared leadership, shared responsibility for each other, individual accountability, positive interdependence, teacher observation and intervention, direct teaching of social skills and group monitoring of their own effectiveness. • Social and Cognitive Skills: Collaborative Learning enhances both social and cognitive skills
Office 365 *Provided by CVS • Collaborative, web-based, shareable spaces for student productivity • Office 365Word, Excel, and PowerPoint can be used by multiple students at the same time. They can work in “real time” to create documents, slide shows, etc. • Students can give feedback to other students on their work • Students can share with other students and with their teacher what they create digitally.

VIRTUAL DISCUSSIONS
Blogs • Learners actively engage in their own learning process by creating and sharing their own content • Blogs are easy, simple, and convenient to create • Blogs also have educational benefits:  self-directed learning  peer collaboration  skills development (especially in language education)
Weebly *Free Web tool *Paid premium features • Weebly is more than a web page. • You can password protect specific pages of your website • You can include a blog page for classroom discussion
Edublogs *Provided by the MISD • Teachers can post assignments on EduBlogs for students to access and work on. • Students can respond to questions/writing prompts that are moderated by the teacher (they won’t be seen unless you approve them) • These blogs are not private, so anyone can view them
VIDEO & SCREENCASTING
Office Mix * Free download with CVS provided MS Office
Screencast- o-matic *Free Web Tool • Free screencasting of your computer screen. • Use it to record lectures, give important class information, demonstrate, and give directions. • Recorded information that is posted online can be viewed by students whenever they need it. • Also a great way to record lessons and directions for sub plans • Website: http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ • Quick tutorial: http://www.screencast-o- matic.com/u/h/start-recording
