This document outlines strategies for blended learning and flipped classrooms. It discusses using technology like tablets and smartphones to incorporate computer-mediated activities into traditional classrooms. Examples of blended learning activities described include everyday topics, literary teaching, sign language modules, content and language integrated learning modules, and cooperative learning. The flipped classroom model transfers teaching to students by giving them direct access to lesson content before class, allowing teachers to facilitate. Examples of flipped classroom activities provided are for subjects like British theatre, poetry and music, art, and mathematics.

responsible for their own and the group's
effort.
Individual accountability: All students in
a group must take responsibilities both for
their work and what they have learned.
Face-to-face interaction: Students
encourage and support one another; .
Group behaviours: Group members gain
direct instruction in the interpersonal,
social, and collaborative skills .
Group processing: Group members
analyze their own and the group's ability to
work together.
