“At its most basic level, blended learning lets students fast-forward if they have already mastered a concept, pause if they need to digest something, or rewind and slow something down if they need to review. It provides a simple way for students to take different paths toward a common destination. It can free up teachers to become learning designers, mentors, facilitators, tutors, evaluators, and counselors to reach each student in ways never before possible.”
Blended Horn and Staker, p. 11

classroom benefit
your students? http://www.phd2published.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/speech-bubble-faces.jpg

Instructional Problems
Meeting the needs of a diverse group of students; some struggling and some need enrichment
Students dropping out of school Multi-grade classrooms Attendance issues Big class sizes = less small group instruction Lack of time to “get through curriculum” Need to narrow the digital divide and develop
21st Century Skills Providing "just in time" feedback on student
learning

Blended learning is any formaleducation program in which a student learns at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace.
The student learns at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home.
The modalities along each students’ learning path within a course are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.

Hiring Technology
Blended learning introduces technology in a purposeful, strategic way, to help solve (or at best assist with) some of these problems. Michael Horn and Heather Stakercall this "hiring technology".
Technology can be "hired" to:• deliver content (enrich and support)• instant feedback• additional practice• collaborate and communicate with others• locate information• present learning in new ways
![Page 17: Small Steps to a Blended Learning Classroom Sun West 150316](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020307/55a600cb1a28abcf498b463c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In what ways are you “hiring”
technology?
What problem is that helping you solve?

Do I have students in my classroom

online DLC course? What role would
you play as the face-to-face teacher?http://www.phd2published.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/speech-bubble-faces.jpg

Pace – Targeted Practice
Mathletics
Reading A-Z
Others – e.g. Wowzers
• Discuss the “why” of focused practice.
• Help students set personal goals for
success.
