15. Session Objectives:
• Define Blended Learning;
• Explain the importance of blended learning.
• Identify the models of blended learning.
• Explain the benefits of blended learning.
• Discuss the advantages of blended learning.
• Describe the characteristics of a 21st-century teacher.

16. •New advancement in technology has
brought changes and challenges from
traditional to more advanced mode of
teaching and learning process.
•To say a shift from traditional chalk and
talk class room to technologically based
web based learning, e-learning, M-
learning, e- resources, cloud computing
and blended learning or hybrid learning.
•This, which combines electronic
based learning and traditional
learning environment.

17. •Blending learning is about finding better ways of supporting
students in achieving the learning objectives and providing them
with the best possible learning and teaching experiences, as well
as supporting teachers in their profession.

18. •Blended learning is a learning approach formed with the
combination of the different learning environments and activity
types for a certain group with the addition of electronic sources
to the face to face learning.

19. What is blended learning:
Blended learning is a
formal educational program
in which a student learns at
least in part through online
delivery of instruction and
content, with some element of
student control over time,
place, path and pace and at
least in part in a supervised
brick and mortar place away
from home.

20. BLENDED LEARNING

21. Why blended learning?
•Blended learning helps in achieving better
students learning experience and academic
outcomes, and effective teaching
management.
• It is all about effectively integrating information and
communication technologies into designing course
and in term
•Enhancing teaching and learning experiences for both
students’ and teachers.
•It involves amalgamation of delivery modes, teaching
approaches and learning styles.

23. Models of
blended learning
• Six models of blended
learning
• Face-to-Face Driver Model
• Rotation Model
• Flex Model
• Online Lab Model
• Self-Blend Model
• Online Driver Model

24. Models of blended learning

25. a) Face-to-Face Driver Model
Of all the blended learning models, face-to-
face driver is the closest to a typical school
structure.
With this approach, the introduction
of online instruction is decided on a case-by-
case basis, meaning only certain students in
a given class will participate in any form of
blended learning.
The face-to-face driver approach
allows students who are struggling or
working above their grade level to
progress at their own pace using
technology in the classroom.

26. b) Rotation Model
In this form of blended learning,
students rotate between different stations
on a fixed schedule – either working online
or spending face-to-face time with the
teacher.
The rotational model is more
widely used in elementary schools.
In this model students became more
active learners and often challenged themselves
to work harder and learn material that had not
yet been introduced in their classroom.

27. c) Flex Model
In this approach, material is
primarily delivered online.
Although teachers are in the
room to provide on-site
support as needed, learning is
primarily self-guided, as
students independently learn
and practice new concepts in
a digital environment.

28. d) Online Lab
Model
In this students learn entirely online
but travel to a dedicated computer lab to
complete their coursework. Adults supervise
the lab, but they are not trained teachers.
This not only allows schools to offer courses
for which they have no teacher or not
enough teachers, but also allows students to
work at a pace and in a subject area that
suits them without affecting the learning
environment of other students.

29. e) Self-Blend Model
• In this individuals will attend a
traditional school environment,
they also opt to supplement their
learning through online courses
offered remotely.
• Self-blend is ideal for the student
who wants to take additional
Advanced Placement courses, or who
has interest in a subject area that is
not covered in the traditional course
catalog.

30. f) Online Driver Model
In this form of blended learning
students work remotely and
material is primarily delivered via
an online platform.
Although face-to-face check- is optional,
students can usually chat
with teachers online if they have
questions.
This model of blended learning is ideal for
students who need more flexibility and
independence in their daily schedules.

31. Benefits of blended learning
a. Inclusion of more
differentiated/personalised instruction.
b. Increased access to resources,
experts and learning opportunities.
c. More authentic and student driven tasks
being incorporated into the curriculum.
d. Higher student engagement.
e. Greater opportunities for collaboration
(especially beyond the classroom and
involving the wider school community) .
f. Better access to infrastructure and,
anytime, anywhere learning.

32. Advantages of blended learning
a. An increase in learning outcome.
b. An opportunity for students to practice
technology skills in navigating online
course materials and creating their own
digital content for assessment.
c. An increase in student-teacher and
student-student interaction through
the use of communication tools like
discussion forums, blogs and shared
web content on the electronic
whiteboard.

33. d. The ability to reserve face-to-face time for
interactive activities, such as higher-level
discussions, small group work, debates,
demonstrations, or lab activities.
e. Flexibility and the freedom to learn
anytime, anywhere.
f. Some level of control over the pacing of
their learning. Difficult concepts can be
reviewed as often as necessary.
g. More engaging content that they can
create and use their own initiative, and
networks to shape.

34. h. The opportunity to engage and draw on expertise that would otherwise not be available to
them without costly travel, such as virtual conferencing with zoo/museum/gallery or virtual
excursions to overseas historical or culturally significant landmarks.
i. Broaden the spaces and opportunities available for learning.
j. Support course management activities (e.g., communication, assessment submission,
marking and feedback).
k. Support the provision of information and resources to students.
l. Engage and motivate students through interactivity and
collaboration.

35. CONCLUSION
Adopting a blended learning approach offers the appeal of
combining different learning elements using the power of ICT while
retaining a human touch.
It can be concluded that synchronous communication environments
should coexist with asynchronous ones.

36. CHARACTERISTICS OF A 21ST-
CENTURY TEACHER
1. Learner-centered classroom and personalized
instruction: As students have access to any
information possible, there certainly is no need to
spoon-feed them knowledge or teach one-size-fits-
all content. Students have different personalities,
goals, and needs, and offering personalized
instruction is not just possible but desirable. When
students are allowed to make their own choices,
they own their learning, increase intrinsic
motivation, and put in more effort—an ideal recipe
for better learning outcomes.

37. 2. Learners as producers: Today’s learners have the
latest and greatest tools, yet the usage in many cases
barely goes beyond communicating with family and
friends via chat, text, or calls. Even though students
are now viewed as digital natives, many are far from
producing any digital content. They own expensive
devices with capabilities to produce blogs,
infographics, books, how-to videos, and tutorials, just
to name a few, but in many classes, they are still asked
to turn those devices off and work with handouts and
worksheets.
Sadly, often these papers are simply thrown away once
graded. Many students don’t even want to do them, let
alone keep or return to them later. When given a
chance, students can produce beautiful and creative
blogs, movies, or digital stories that they feel proud of
and share with others.

38. 3. Learn new technologies: In order to be able to
offer students choices, having one’s own hands-on
experience and expertise will be useful. Since
technology keeps developing, learning a tool once
and for all is not an option. The good news is that
new technologies are new for the novice and
experienced teachers alike, so everyone can jump
in at any time. I’ve used a short-term subscription
to Lynda.com, which has many resources for
learning new technologies.

39. 4. Be smart and use smartphones: Once again—when
students are encouraged to view their devices as
valuable tools that support knowledge (rather than as
distractions), they start using them as such.
We must know that different students have different
needs when it comes to help with new vocabulary or
questions, so there’s no need to waste time and explain
something that perhaps only one or two students will
benefit from. Instead, teaching students to be
independent and know how to find the answers they
need makes the class a different environment.
We must start to view that students’ devices as useful
aids. Sometimes we should respond by saying, “I don’t
know—use Google and tell us all.” What a difference
in their reactions and outcomes!

40. 5. Go digital: Another important attribute
is to go paperless—organizing teaching
resources and activities on one’s own
website and integrating technology can
bring students’ learning experience to a
different level. Sharing links and offering
digital discussions as opposed to a
constant paper flow allows students to
access and share class resources in a
more organized fashion.

41. 6. Collaborate: Technology allows
collaboration between teachers and students.
Creating digital resources, presentations,
and projects together with other educators
and students will make classroom activities
resemble the real world. Collaboration
should go beyond sharing documents via
email or creating PowerPoint presentations.
Many great ideas never go beyond a
conversation or paper copy, which is a great
loss. Collaboration globally can change our
entire experience.
Collaboration is not a 21st century skill it is 21st
century essential

42. 7. Connect: Connect with like-minded
individuals. Again, today’s tools allow us
to connect with anyone, anywhere,
anytime. Have a question for an expert or
colleague? Simply connect via social
media: follow, join, ask, or tell.

43. 8. Innovate: I invite you to expand your
teaching toolbox and try new ways you
have not tried before, such as teaching
with social media or replacing textbooks
with web resources. Not for the sake of
tools but for the sake of students.

44. 9. Blog: I have written on the importance
of both student and teacher blogging.
Even my beginners of English could see
the value of writing for real audience and
establishing their digital presence. To
blog or not to blog should not be a
question anymore.

45. 9. Blog: I have written on the importance
of both student and teacher blogging.
Even my beginners of English could see
the value of writing for real audience and
establishing their digital presence. To
blog or not to blog should not be a
question anymore.

46. 10. Keep learning: As new tools and new
technology keep emerging, learning, and
adapting is essential. The good news is:
It’s fun, and even 20 minutes a day will
take you a long way.
