Where is the “Puck” gonna be?
Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning A Meta-Analysis and Review of Online Learning Studies
CP 2.0 – Next Generation Learning
Goals and Guiding Principles
Transforming School
• Prepare all students for college, careers, and life-long learning in ways that
support the Crown Point Community School Corporation mission.
• Respond to the needs of all students through personalized learning
opportunities.
• Expand course offerings to include more options for students.
• Use technology to enhance critical thinking, problem solving, communication,
collaboration, creativity and innovation.
• Promote student responsibility for their own learning (choices).
• Address student challenges, including skill deficiencies, retention, enrichment,
and acceleration.
• Generate data that serves all stakeholder groups – teachers, students, parents,
administrators, and community.
• Create flexible scheduling opportunities for students and teachers by removing
traditional barriers.
How are we gonna get there?
Project Red 2012
Major findings of interest to schools embarking on
or already administering a technology implementation:
• Proper implementation of technology is linked to education success.
• 1-to-1 schools that properly implement technology outperform all other
schools, including all other 1-to-1 schools.
• A school principal’s ability to lead is critical to the success of an
implementation effort.
• Technology-transformed intervention improves learning.
• Online collaboration increases learning productivity and student
engagement.
• Properly implemented technology saves money.
• Daily use of technology delivers the best return on investment (ROI).

9th grade Lead Blended Courses
1st Semester Final Exams
• Most students like their blended courses and almost all want to take more blended
courses.
• The main reasons students like the blended courses are
1) they prefer carrying a laptop to carrying many books;
2) they feel that the blended courses allow them to be much more organized than
they are in non-blended classes, and
3) they like the additional instructional materials such as videos.
• Students felt that teachers were supportive and active in the blended courses.
• Students are accessing the blended courses from a variety of places, in significant
numbers. Sixty percent of students accessed their blended course in school but outside of
class, and 90% accessed the course at home. More than 10% accessed their courses at
restaurants/coffee shops, library/community centers, and at friends/relatives homes.
• The ways students accessed the online materials suggest that they have changed the way
that they learn, with most students using the online materials to adjust the pace or timing
of the course to their needs.
• Students believe that more cheating happens in blended than in non-blended courses,
because of the ease of cheating when taking an assessment on a laptop.
9th grade Lead Blended Courses
Key Findings from Student Survey and Focus Groups
• 55.8% of parents said the “most important” benefit of blended learning is
to prepare my child for college courses. Additionally 34.6% of parents
said it was “important”.
• 58.8% of parents said the “most important” benefit of blended learning is
to prepare my child for the modern workplace. Additionally 33.3% of
parents said it was “important”.
• Parents would like additional training to navigate the learning
management system.
