Blended Learning Resources

In Warren Township, Blended Learning consists of data-driven decisions, student reflection, targeted instruction, and integrated digital content. The resources below represent key inputs to our thinking and transition to personalized learning for all. Additionally, some of the resources represent the output of our team as we learn how to blend the best of teacher-led instruction and technology assisted learning.

Definitions

The combination of the best of teacher-led instruction and technology-assisted instruction that works together in harmony to increase student learning.

From the Clayton Christensen Institute for Disruptive Innovation:

"The definition of blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns: (1) at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace; (2) at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home; (3) and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience. The majority of blended-learning programs resemble one of four models: Rotation, Flex, A La Carte, and Enriched Virtual. The Rotation model includes four sub-models: Station Rotation, Lab Rotation, Flipped Classroom, and Individual Rotation." - See more at: http://www.christenseninstitute.org/blended-learning-definitions-and-models/#sthash.A2Rx5Ty2.dpuf
