What is Blended Learning?

Blended learning combines classroom learning with online learning, in which students can, in part, control the time, pace, and place of their learning.

5 tips

Implementing Blended Learning into the classroom

Tip 1: Think big, but start small.

  • Find one piece of technology that will complement your class, and start with that. By doing so, you can experiment, make mistakes, experience success, and build your confidence.

Tip 2: Patience is a virtue when trying something new.

  • Remember that mistakes lead to learning. The best resources that have been designed and the most effective strategies that have been developed were all born from and refined through mistakes.

Tip 3: Technology shouldn't be just a frill.

  • Technology shouldn't be something else you have to add to your already full plate. Instead, use technology to replace and improve what you already do.

  • For example, a teacher who traditionally creates a handout with a series of comprehension questions could, instead, post a discussion question online using a discussion board or discussion platform.

Tip 4: Weaving media together makes them stronger.

  • Online Discussions
  • Teachers can post a discussion topic online that asks students to evaluate and discuss certain topics.

Expert Group Investigations

  • Teachers can also use expert group investigations to weave the discussion between the classroom and online media. In the classroom, the teacher might give small groups various topics to research. Then he or she could ask students to go online to research and discuss their topic on a shared Google Doc and create a presentation.

Tip 5: Students need to know where they can get online.
