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.
Quotes from the Session:
“Yes, that’s me…trying to get up to date with tech!! here in rural NH. Thank you for the advice!”
“We appreciate everything that you have shared!! I am finding that Blended Learning is a concept that needs to be embraced K-20!”
“Thanks for all the info and Caroline for links! Especially helpful to hear about pitfalls of buying devices with no clear plan”

eLearning planning framework: http://elearning.tki.org.nz/Professional-learning/e-Learning-Planning-Framework2
What is Blended E-Learning? With the government’s focus in re-designing the Professional Learning Development (PLD) programme for our schools, there has been a re-shaping in how this support will be addressed.
From a Blended e-Learning perspective, one of the main tools being offered for schools to consider, is the e-Learning Planning Framework. There will most likely be a need to scrutinise this further and unpack with schools how the framework can be utilised to enhance their current practice in e-Learning.
The target groups of Māori, Pasifika and Special Education needs students, are to be kept to the forefront and whatever PLD is offered to schools, the outcomes must be seen in raising student achievement.
This session will look at the following
- Illustrate what Blended e-Learning (BeL) looks like in schools with students, leaders, teachers, communities
- Demonstrate what the e-Learning Planning Framework is and how it relates to programmes/initiatives in schools
- Explain what the BeL project is: who is involved; organization
- Explore strengths, areas to be strengthened, opportunities and areas to be aware of in order to be explicit about the way we work; could/should work; and identify opportunities for collaboration and sharing within BeL and across the Te Toi Tupu consortium, as the lead providers of E-learning Professional Development across New Zealand.

Connecting with the Connected Learner - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Beverly Amer, Northern Arizona University & Ken Baldauf, Florida State University
While many question the value of an intro-level computer course for the Internet generation, many computer education experts, including our presenters, hold fast to three proven axioms: 1. The "Intro Computer Course" CAN be a relevant and engaging course for students, 2. Everyone benefits from more computing and technology in the curriculum, 3. It's not just what we teach, it's also how we teach it. In this session, Ken Baldauf and Beverly Amer, authors of Emerge with computers, demonstrate how the intro course can be the best course your students ever take, and Lauren Murphy, Senior Product Team Manager from Cengage Learning, will demonstrate how Emerge will look in its new MindTap platform.
This presentation touched base with the meaning of blended learning, the 'why' behind blended learning and considerations in a blended learning approach in education.
Defining a quality model for Blended Learning course for adult learners: the experience of Patronato EPASA CNA (Italian National Confederation of the Craft Sector and Small and
Medium Enterprises)
In order to improve the quality of the traning process of their employes the Patronato EPASA CNA started a experimentation of a new model of traning. The needs of the patronato were to:
* To develop a training system for a large number of learners, geographically distributed throughout the country, which is economically sustainable
* To develop a training system that meets the needs of learners with different levels of skills and knowledge.
* To develop a training system that enables the assessment of the effectiveness of the training and monitoring the level of learning for each individual operator.

Organizations nowadays are expanding both regionally and internationally, and have to adopt to new ways of working, especially field-work requires enormous flexibility and mobility from employees. Thus, this has created difficulties for companies to gather employees together in order to train, develop and communicate at the same time. E-learning may be the solution for this problem.
By enhancing knowledge skills and know-how to employees, where in particular the employee has control over and personally customized whether what, when, where and how he/she learns.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

8. E Learning
• In an on-line multimedia learning
environment:
– teaching & learning is ‘one-to-one’ (individual)
– more interactivity (in normal classroom, it varies with the
class size)
– learner-centred
– Learner monitoring & grading system
9. In a true learner-centered environment, the learner is
the beginning and end point of the learning process,
and the learner’s needs are the focus of the program.
Tools are available as the learners needs.
The instructor adjusts to the student
The quality of instruction is measured against
standards
The student is an active partner in the learning process
The course is continually renewed through feedback
from learners
LEARNER CENTERED
10. LEARNER MONITORING:
Learners learn to assess their own progress.
Helping learners to identify the progress they have
made, to understand what they have achieved and
what they need to do next, to make progress towards
their goals and qualifications.
GRADING SYSTEM:
In a grading system learners are placed in ability bands
that represents a range of scores.
It reflects on individual learners performance in the
form of certain level of achievement in relation to the
whole group of learners.
11. E-learning, Web-based learning
E-learning is mostly associated with activities involving
computers and interactive networks simultaneously. The
computer does not need to be the central element of the
activity or provide learning content. However, the
computer and the network must hold a significant
involvement in the learning activity.
Web-based learning is associated with learning materials
delivered in a Web browser, including when the materials
are packaged on CD-ROM or other media. disk.

19. Instructor led training
It refers to the traditional classroom training where a
teacher teaches a classroom full of students.
The problems of this training are
