Blended Learning
Teachers will develop an understanding of blended learning through the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) and Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition Model (SAMR) and how it supports powerful learning for students.
Innovation Plan will be developed in appropriate course
Learner Outcomes:
- Learners will create student centered blended learning environments
- Learners will explore best practices to create and facilitate blended learning experiences that leverage technology
- Learners will learn how to use instructional tech tools to manage and encourage student to student, and student to teacher collaboration while providing meaningful instruction
- Learners will develop best practices for assessing students in a blended learning setting
- Learners will develop learning experiences that are personal and accessible, authentic and challenging, collaborative and connected, and inquisitive and reflective. These learning experiences should increase opportunities for students to deeply engage in their learning while using technology in ways that contribute to closing the digital divide.
Learning Goals
- Foundational- Learners will explore best practices to create and facilitate blended learning experiences that leverage technology
- Application- Learners will create student centered blended learning environments
- Integration- Learners will develop learning experiences that are personal and accessible, authentic and challenging, collaborative and connected, and inquisitive and reflective. These learning experiences should increase opportunities for students to deeply engage in their learning while using technology in ways that contribute to closing the digital divide.
Substitution
"Technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change"- Dr. Ruben Puentedura Augmentation
'Technology acts as a direct tool substitute, with functional improvement"- Dr. Ruben Puentedura
Modification-
"Technology allows for significant task redesign"- Dr. Ruben Puentedura
Redefinition
"Technology allows for the creation of new tasks, previously inconceivable"- Dr. Ruben Puentedura
