Almost everything we do in out technology class is considered belyening learning. The most effective aspect of blending learning in this class is how we all learn and post together week by week. We are able to independently complete our work and then get every other students feedback instantly. In my opinion, the most ineffective part of blended learning has been working ahead. Before I have started working on future blog posts, I sometimes read other peoples rather than exploring it myself. I would like to be able to discover the new content by myself before I read others.
What is your philosophy on blended learning?
Stacy Hawthorne said, "Blended learning is more than electronic textbooks and productivity tools. It means inventing and adopting new learning environments that work better for teachers and students". This is what i like to think of as my philosophy for blended learning. Making the class fun and engaging, but also creating a classroom environments that can meet the needs and benefit all students simultaneously.
What was the most striking thing you took away from Stacy's presentation? How will it impact your own learning?
The most striking thing I took away from Stacy's presentation was the purpose of blended learning. If you honesty think you are doing what is best for your kids than you should pursue it. Blending learning is all about what you can do to help better your kids. It is more than just throwing tools for the kids, but also help them learn in better ways.
Self-selected topic related to Stacy's presentation
I learned that Ohio was the third largest state with online class participation. I found this very interesting because many of the people I talk to don't enjoy online classes. Personally, I am the biggest fan of them either. However, this was really surprising to hear that Ohio has the third largest participation rate. Maybe it's because nobody likes walking to classes in the snow during April.
