BEST PRACTICES IN BLENDED LEARNINGTeresa PotterUrsuline College Fall 2014
OBJECTIVES Define Blended Learning Describe where blended learning fits on the synchronous to asynchronous spectrum
Use Backwards Design to make technology decisions Apply the TPACK model to your course
(MY HIDDEN AGENDA)Approaching teaching and learning with technology in terms of these best practices will help you:
Have a greater impact on student learning
Reduce the amount of time you need to spend learning new technologies skills
Decrease the amount of time you spend on tasks outside of teaching
Reduce anxiety about how many tech tools there are and how behind you feel

BEST PRACTICES IN BLENDED LEARNING1. Clearly define goals before you start thinking
about technology tools
2. Utilize Bloom’s Revisited Taxonomy and Digital Taxonomy to set goals
3. Use Backwards Design to determine needs
4. Use TPACK to determine what you are trying to do better with technology

THE CHANGING ROLE OF THE PROFESSOR Technology allows new possibilities for teaching and learning
Tech tools allow for a shared workload
University is no longer the gatekeeper to knowledge
No longer does the professor need to be the sage on the stage
BLENDED LEARNING IS ABOUT POSSIBILITIES
Sage on the Stage
Guide on the Side
Ghost in the wings
Something Else…

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
How can technology help you do more than you could do without
tech?
USE TECHNOLOGY TO DO MORE THAN YOU COULD DO WITHOUT
