  14. What is Blended Learning? http://tinyurl.com/lrtsblended

  15. Blended Learning Defined Blended Learning combines classroom with online delivery of curriculum; formal planned instruction and learning take place in both environments. Students are exposed to the technological enhanced active learning possibilities of an online environment in addition to the existing opportunities of the physical classroom. Blended learning extends student learning, provides opportunity for increased engagement and helps meet the needs of diverse learners. This pedagogical approach often affords students some flexibility with time, place, path and pace.

  16. What can Blended Learning look like? Online Face to Face Blended Learning

  17. The International Association for K – 12 Online Learning describes Blended Learning as: • Shifting from lecture to student-centered instruction, allowing students to become active and interactive learners. • Increasing interaction between student-instructor, student-student, student-content, and student-outside resources. • Integrating formative assessment (assessing what students already know) and summative assessment (assessing what students learned or did not learn from the lesson/unit)

  18. Benefits of Blended Learning • Access to high quality, current, and engaging content in a variety of forms. • Flexible class time and structure. • Adaptability to students’ needs. • Multiple sources of instruction and assessment as well as diagnostic tools to direct the pace and format of the students’ learning. • Opportunities for teachers to tailor instruction to ensure progress and mastery for all student, particularly for those who have been underserved or overlooked

  19. Blended Learning Supports Universal Design for Learning

  20. Blended Learning Framework

  21. Blended Learning Possibilities • Enhance Student Motivation • Incorporate 21st Century Skills: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking & Problem Solving, Innovation and Creativity. • Improved Productivity • Project Based Learning • Personalize Learning

  22. What is ? • Modular • Object • Oriented • Dynamic • Learning • Environment

  23. Who is using Moodle in NS? • Every teacher and student has access to Moodle by using their IMP web mail username and password. • http://nsvs.ednet.ns.ca • Talk to your technology representative at your board level go to NSVS and look for NSVS contact information (school board online coordinator) to get your own course or to join a professional community of practice

  24. Why use Moodle? • Students in a blended learning classroom use a variety of online tools, collaborate with their peers, engage in inquiry and have ready access to materials no matter where they are! • By using Moodle can increase the level of engagement and interaction of classroom. • In a Moodle environment students control the learning process. • Students communicate, collaborate, inquire and solve problems in groups, pair and individually.

  25. As a classroom teacher:My Top 5 1) Link to files (doc. ppt. pdf. video, simulation, hyperlinks, etc.) Post answers of homework previously corrected 2) Submit assignments (project, articles, lab report...) 3) Choices (Are you in favor of nuclear energy?) 4) Feedback (assessment for learning, end of unit reflection, teacher) 5) Quiz (assessment of learning)

  26. Blended Learning in plain English https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UM_Y2NSJcmE This video explains what is not Blended learning.

  27. Google in Education • Why Google Apps? • http://ourtube.nspes.ca/watch_video.php?v=A1YNWG1S8NN9 • Google Apps for Education is a collection of online services (called “apps”). This assessment considers only Google’s Core Services, specifically: • Drive (including Documents, Presentations, Spreadsheets, Forms and Drawings) • Sites • Gmail • Calendar • Groups • Contacts • Any use of add-on apps or third-party apps would require further assessment.

  31. “Schools have become just one of many places in both the real and virtual world where students can get an education. Some of their best teachers will be outside the classroom walls.” Will Richardson, Education Leadership, Vol. 70 No. 6 March 2013 • A skillful teacher is a teachers who has developed and built excellent teaching skills such as momentum, procedural routines, objective, clarity, discipline, organization, evaluation, models of teaching, time, principles of learning, personal relationship building, expectations, etc. • On the top of that it would be a teacher who creates a ROLE (Rich Online Learning Environment) • You simply want to provide learning beyond your classroom door and provide other opportunity for students to learn a second time.
