Blended Learning

Blended Learning

1. Challenge: Small, rural school

   • Challenge: Not all children will have access to internet at home
     • Make time available before and after school for those students that don't have internet access at home
     • Don't make blended learning assignments worth a lot of points
   • Challenge: Funding
     • Some schools won't have the funding to provide every student with technology so use the computers at school for blended learning
     • Have fundraisers to raise money for technology in the classroom
   • Challenge: Grade Level
     • Depending on the grade level depends on how much the students will have blended learning
     • Teachers need to research what to have the students do for their blended learning

2. Challenge: Technology disruption

   • Students will use their technology when I'm trying to teach
   • Have the students use the technology to play educational games about what I am teaching after I am done teaching
   • Use videos, like TEDtalks, to help explain what I am teaching
   • At the beginning of class and the end of class let the students search information about an interesting topic they learned that day or the day before.
