Welcome! During this interactive presentation we will:
Identify what blended learning is and what it isn’t
Discuss the most common blended learning models
Get some hands on experience with some online tools that can be used to
create a blended learning environment
Let’s explore more…….

Technology integration is NOT the same as Blended Learning.
• Simply using technology in the classroom
Involves a teacher to student interaction
• Shifts focus from teacher to student interaction
Blended learning• To student to
student interaction
• Collaboration
More student centered
Seamless connection between online and
offline work
Increased Student-Collaboration and
control over:
time
pace
place or path of learning
Online classroom presence
Repurposed time
Hallmarks of blended learning:
What the student is doing online shouldn’t affect what is taught in
the classroom
Online work should be supplemental or
enrichment based
Work students do online should have a
direct connection with what they are doing in
the classroom
None of these answers
Content is online and can be accessed and
reviewed 24/7
Content consists of static website where
students can download classroom handouts
Content is online consisting of just a list of websites students
can use
None of these answers
• Repurposed time- blended learning uses technology tools to restructure what is normally done in the brick and mortar classroom.

A bit more about the rotation model:4 variations
Rotation model
Station rotation
Lab rotation
Flipped classroom
Individual rotation
Station Rotation
• Students rotate on a fixed schedule or at the teacher’s discretion among classroom-based learning modalities.
• The rotation includes at least one station for online learning.
• Other stations might include activities such as small-group or full-class instruction, group projects, individual tutoring, and pencil-and-paper assignments.
Lab rotation
• Rotation-model implementation in which within a given course or subject (e.g., math), students rotate on a fixed schedule or at the teacher’s discretion among locations on the physical campus.
• At least one is a learning lab for predominantly online learning, and the other(s) are classroom(s) for other learning modalities.
• The Lab Rotation model differs from the Station Rotation model because students rotate among locations on the campus instead of staying in one classroom for the blended course or subject.
Flipped model
• A Rotation-model implementation in which within a given course or subject (e.g.. math), students rotate on a fixed schedule between face-to-face teacher-guided practice (or projects) on campus during the standard school day and online delivery of content and instruction of the same subject from a remote location (often home) after school.
• The primary delivery of content and instruction is online, which differentiates a Flipped Classroom from students who are merely doing homework practice online at night.
• The Flipped Classroom model accords with the idea that blended learning includes some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace because the model allows students to choose the location where they receive content and instruction online.
Individual rotation• A Rotation-model implementation
in which within a given course or subject (e.g., math), students rotate on an individually customized, fixed schedule among learning modalities, at least one of which is online learning. An algorithm or teacher sets individual student schedules.
• The Individual Rotation model differs from the other Rotation models because students do not necessarily rotate individual student schedules.
• The Individual Rotation model differs from the other Rotation models because students do not necessarily rotate to each available station or modality.
Keep these important details in mind:
What the course objectives are
Remember blended learning is not about using one type of technology tool.
If you focus on the tool rather than what your end goal is. you miss the point of blended learning.
Don’t use technology just for the sake of using it.
