This document provides an overview of blended learning from the perspective of Dr. Rob Darrow, the Director of Member Services at iNACOL. It discusses definitions of blended learning, examples of blended learning models that range from more teacher-centered to more student-centered. It also provides examples of what blended learning looks like from the perspectives of teachers and students, with the content and location varying along the continuum. Joining iNACOL is encouraged for those interested in online and blended learning.
Blended learning is not a new concept. Better and more affordable software solutions, like G Suite for Education, and improved internet access means more educational organisations are implementing blended learning solutions. Blended and elearning isn’t ‘good’ just because it is digital; it needs to meet student needs and learning goals.

How technology impact children’s development in schoolstarunwebglaze
When technology is blended into education, learners at schools are required to be more involved in the subjects they are studying. Technology offers various possibilities to make studying more enjoyment and pleasant in terms of teaching the same things in innovative methods. If you are wondering how technology impacts children’s development in schools then here is a complete guide for you. The schools are now realizing the requirement of integrated the appropriate quantity of technology in the learning system.
Blended Learning – A Total Training Solution, Craig JordanThe HR Observer
Corporate training has come a long way over the last 30 years significantly due to rapid technological advances. These advances have allowed us to move from the typical “chalk & talk” classroom delivery, requiring all participants to be in the same room, to the point where we can now deliver training simultaneously to a dispersed audience anywhere in the world. In its infancy, blended learning simply meant supporting classroom training with linear semi-interactive online modules but the industry now offers a variety of sophisticated tools and platforms. Providing the optimum blended learning solution for your organisation needs careful planning and preparation. This workshop will look at the options available and present a model solution for the modern work environment.

Blended Learning Implementation for Elementary SchoolsDreamBox Learning
Integrating blended learning into an existing curriculum can be both a difficult and beneficial task. Though it is a rapidly growing instructional model, the many different approaches to implementation can make finding the right solution can feel like going on a treasure hunt without a compass. Who better to lead you on your Blended Learning journey than education advocate, advisor, and author of Getting Smart: How Digital Learning is Changing the World, Tom Vander Ark?
Attendees of yesterday’s webinar participated in an active discussion lead by Tom about best practices for implementing Blended Learning. Tom shared different approaches for blended learning implementation through an analysis of several elementary school case studies. He demonstrated how blended learning can improve teaching, benefit student learning, and assist in transitioning to the Common Core Standards. Tom covered the impact of gaining real-time data on each student’s progress and how this affects teaching methods and practices. He also provided a critical evaluation of adaptive learning tools at the core of successful blended learning models. Watch the webinar to learn how to distinguish which blended learning model(s) are appropriate for your students.

11. Definitions, Part 1
• Two definitions:
– Blended learning should be viewed as a pedagogical
approach that combines the effectiveness and socialization
opportunities of the classroom with the technologically
enhanced active learning possibilities of the online
environment,
• Dziuban, Hartman and Moskal (2004)
– Blended learning “combines face-to-face learning
with computer mediated learning.”
(Bonk and Graham, 2006. Handbook of blended learning: Global perspectives,
local designs. http://www.publicationshare.com/).

education in the United States. Newburyport, MA: The Sloan Consortium.
http://www.sloan-c.org/publications/survey/blended06
13. Most widely used K-12 definition
A formal education 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/or pace
and
At least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar place
away from home
