WHAT IS BLENDED LEARNING?
Broad term that combines traditional in-class instruction with an online component
Born from
increased access to technology
teachers being forced to do less with more
need for asynchronous instruction
WHAT DOES THIS LOOK
LIKE?
Common Blended Models
1. Face-to-Face- teacher delivers majority of
content and online is used to supplement/remediateEx. Computer in back of
room2. Rotation- in-class and
online learning rotate on a fixed schedule. Face-to-face
teacher oversees work online.
Ex. Online self-paced homework
3. Flex- an online platform delivers most of the
instruction. A teacher may be available
Ex. NovaNet at High Schools4. Online Lab- learning takes place on school
campus in a computer lab with no physical
instructor.Ex. Taking an Aventa class
at BCCCA
5. Self-Blend- online courses are chosen by
students to supplement school’s course offerings. Ex. Taking an Aventa class
at home
6. Online Driver- online and traditional instruction
with most work done remotely and some required meetings
Ex. Gifted endorsement
(TUCKER, 2012)
WHY?
86% of students say they use technology more outside of the classroom than in class.
Additionally, only 46% of teachers say they regularly
assign homework that requires the use of
technology. Most students are using technology for
academic purposes, but do so on their own.
93% of teens ages 12-17 go online either at school, home, or at the
library.
Currently, 50% of
today’s jobs require
technology skills and
that number is
expected to grow to
77% in the next 10
years.
(TUCKER, 2012)
“The 21st century is customizable. In ten years, the teacher who hasn’t yet figured out how to use technology to personalize learning will be the teacher out of a job. Differentiation won’t make you ‘distinguished’; it’ll just be a natural part of your work.”
(BLAKE-PLOCK, 2011)
WHO BENEFITS?

School Systems•Save money- most copies are 5-9 cents each•Can use learning tools for standardized test practice instead of using class time
•Build communities and relationships in schools by helping students feel as though they belong in online communities
“I feel more empowered. I realize that technology cannot replace me, but it can make me more effective, decrease my grading load, and teach my students critical 21st century skills they will use long after they have left my class.”
(TUCKER, 2012)

WHAT IS FLIPPED TEACHING?
WHY FLIP YOUR TEACHING?
Flipped teaching leverages technology to appropriately pair the learning activity with the learning environment.
When concepts are explained online, it is easier for students working independently to move at their own pace.
Allows the teacher to be present when students are being asked to demonstrate higher-order thinking skills such as analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating
IS FLIPPING JUST TAPING MY LECTURES?
Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. The lecture or information you want to give is probably already available through YouTube, Khan Academy, Hippocampus, etc. No need to tape yourself (but you can if you prefer).
Presenting the material in the context of a discussion question allows for accountability and will help them to remember more.
Break up lectures into 5-10 minute chunks with assigned tasks while watching
WHAT WILL I USE?
Blackboard is a complete web-based learning management system (LMS) which allows for integrate with K-12 student information systems.
