As I have entered the world of Instructional Design and Technology, it has opened the doors to so many tech tools and learning environments. I try to incorporate as much as I can in my daily teachings as to practice and not forget since the information learned is so abundant.
These past couple of weeks, I have dived into the blended learning environment where face-to-face instruction interacts with online instruction. This creates a more collaborative environment that is centered around its learners. Technology is used to enhance what is already happening in the classroom by using online learning management systems, virtual classrooms and digital course materials. This allows the learners to control time, pace, and place of their learning.
Many educators find themselves excited to get involved with blended learning, while others find it overwhelming. The trick is to think big but start small! The world of blended learning shouldn’t have to be a “chore” but an enhancement to what you are already doing in the classroom.
There is so much information about blended learning and so I have compiled a user’s guide to assist those who are interested in transforming their classroom into this blended environment.wk7assignruizm
