EDIT 761 was an interesting course, in that it gave me a chance to explore personalized learning software, as well as getting a chance to try out a Mastery based online course through Khan Academy. I had not been exposed to either of these before in my teaching. I liked the personalized learning software as a possibility to teach/assess concrete concepts to students as part of a larger curriculum, though I don't know if I'll be able to incorporate it into my teaching, because my school would have to pay for the software. The Mastery model, on the other hand, was intriguing, but I have my doubts that it would be practical in a school system that has hard deadlines and standardized testing.
The other concepts we covered, which I do use to some extent, were the various models of blended learning. I write "to some extent" because in reality, the model I use is not exactly like any of the four we covered. The students all have laptops all the time, and almost all work is done on them, so it's not one of the rotation models, but I design all work to be done (or at least begun) in class, so it's not a flipped classroom. I suppose what we do is closest to the flex model, but I still have assessments on fixed days, so that's not quite it either. Students definitely do have some control over time, place, and pace, though not so much path, except where I might offer multiple resources to choose from to learn the material. I'd like to move closer to the flex model as time goes by, and that will probably become easier each year as I have more and more material already prepared. This year I'm still moving a lot of lessons online.
